Default Headlight Warning Buzzer Not Working.

So you know the deal, take the keys out of the ignition but if the headlights are still on, you get a full blast of that annoying warning buzzer. Well the warning on my '95 Integra no longer works, and to be honest, I don't even know if the car came with one (but it probably did).

How can I fix this?

The buzzer sound comes from a speaker that's located in the ICU (Integrated Control Unit). It's a plastic box that houses a circuit board attached to the back of the interior fuse box. It controls your defroster, intermittent wipers, as well as the warning sound and other random things. They have a tendency over time to have a capacitor on the board burn out and turn everything to crap so if you notice strange problems with those above-mentioned things, it's more than likely the ICU.

I've had them burn out on both my Integras, best place to find a replacement is probably the junkyard.

Here's a post on G2IC.com that shows how to fix it, it's obviously for DAs but in theory it should work the same (if a burnt capacitor is at fault) https://honda-tech.com/zeropost...68320
