Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 20062006 Civic Sedan - Blinking Red light
I tried RTFM and I will accept that I'm dumb, because I could not find anything directly relevant. The Audio system anti-theft light blinks every 2 seconds when the car is unattended. Isn't that a bit much? Can I turn it off? I'm sure if I could get the service manual I might find out, but apparently that document will never exist for the owner. > I tried RTFM and I will accept that I'm dumb, because I could not find > anything directly relevant. > The Audio system anti-theft light blinks every 2 seconds when the car > is unattended. it's supposed to do that - part of the "theft deterrent" system. > Isn't that a bit much? no. the current drawn by the led on a 2s cycle is trivial - less than the ecu on standby. > Can I turn it off? no. even if you replace the stereo, chances are, it too has a standby load, and i doubt it will be less than the drain caused by your blinking led. a non-blinking stereo is much more likely to be stolen. > I'm sure if I could get the service manual I might find out, but > apparently that document will never exist for the owner.

No. The service manuals are NOT available from Helminc/ When you go to the spot to order, what is printed is the following: 2006 Civic 2/4-Door Service Manual (KA) Price: $75.00 Item temporarily unavailable. The item will be available on 10/9/06. Click here if you would like to be notified when this item becomes available. This has been going on since last June when I bought the car. The only thing that changes is the date, but it doesn't make any difference because I have repeatedly clicked and filled in my address and have never been notified of availability. The last time I called Honda corporate in L.A. they hadn't a clue as to when it would be available. Now---You were saying?!?!? A peice of black adhesive electrical tape will solve your problem, stick it over the LED. > I tried RTFM and I will accept that I'm dumb, because I could not find > anything directly relevant. > The Audio system anti-theft light blinks every 2 seconds when the car > is unattended.
