Ok so i am a parts manager at a collision shop and one of my techs has a 06 4 door civic single cam. The car was in a heavy front end collision and the motor had to be pulled. Now the car is all back together and the reverse indicator will not light up (green light on dash) it lights up in drive, park ext. The bulb was working before hand sooooo what could that be. Need answers asap so if you know FOR SURE what it is send me a PM or a call at (770) 516-6465- ask for Gregg in parts. THANKS

What body shop do you work at?!?! Remind me not to go there. Thats a joke, any reputiable body shop knows how to put there cars back together without posting on the internet.

YEP except when the civic has over 16000 dollars worth of damage and the whole motor and tranny needed to come out core support brake lines ext.... your know to have problems along the way. as to why i posted up re-read my question. Now have you ever heard of anything like that before? thats what i thought

Why would anyone spend 16,000 to fix a civic is my question

a base civic too!

honestly pull the dash and see if the led in there is broke or a possible wire was jogged loose when the collision happend. my money is on the wiring some where was either cut or shortend out.

Really? A freaking body shop is posting here for something as simple as a light on the dashboard? Pull the cluster out, get a multimeter, and fire the damn tech who can't figure that out.

fudgie

Do the reverse lights work or is the whole circuit inop?

How do you know it's a DX???

haha at HONDA.COM a BRAND NEW 2009 HONDA CIVIC sedan or coupe is roughly $15.5k and an SI model is roughly $22k and guess how many accidents and miles it had on it?!?!? LOL
I'd buy a new car than to fix it

Back to the question,

Use multimeter, find out if it needs power, if it needs ground, and if it is getting any of those

TurdBlown Teg

its called i read and base my judgments off of common sense.

i-VTEC_DOHC

yea im wondering too how you know its a dx?

invsta

we talk **** about anything, dont we?

av911

So, you're calling an EX-L a "base" model Civic, too???

I edited your thread title. Try to give some idea of what the thread is about so others will be more likely to come in and help.

It is bot SI. The dash is fine. The car got wrecked by the porter. The car was sent to honda and they couldn't figure it out either. The car has 200 miles on it. The led isnt blown. The car is being pulled back apart right now to be figured out. And yes a body shop is asking for help on honda-tech, because we all run into issues sometimes

sedan SI model was not made in 06.

bigheadedhatch91

sedan si also doesnt have a Reverse light on the cluster....6 speed derrrrrrr..unless its a special edition si that was mated to a rsx base model trans..but i hiiiiiighly doubt that

SacrificeTheory

Umm, I'm sorry but how does a Si model (manual) light up drive, reverse, etc. There are no lights for the gears in a Si model

"R" indicator on cluster not lighting

might be kinda obvious, but is the reverse sensor plugged in on the tranny?

burnout8488

It's not an Si guys.

vladd

thanks captain obvious.

invsta

Well, looks like he wasted our attention.

woodstockstr

No im sorry its a base model... I rarely even walk into the shop. As it for being a SI im a dumb *** for writing that. For the problem it has since been to 2 honda dealers in atlanta and neither one has found the problem. the light goes on and off. The harness has been replaced as well as the plug. I will keep ya'll updated

lets try to help this man....
