Re: power mirror switch triggering drivers door unlock
Check the harness plug where it enters the door for corrosion. I had a similar issue on my old 92 lx.

I have 2 pairs of door harness from a 96-98 civic ex 2 door also 2 control units for the door locks
The dash harness was in the car with dash, car had no seats no hatch spoiler no carpet and no motor.

Re: power mirror switch triggering drivers door unlock
where did the harness inside of the door come from? did it come with the floor harness? I'm not sure of how the harnesses on that car are broken down, have you checked the ground for the door first of all, there is probably one ground wire in the harness for everything in the door, a bad ground will cause current to follow all kinds of strange paths to get to ground, it might be finding a ground through the coil on the door lock actuator

I have eliminated the door harness being the issue because I switched them out out with the others I have and it is the same issue.
the harness are as such floor harness which runs to the fuel pump along side the seats to the fuse box under the dash from there each side has a harness connector, to connect to each of the doors. The windows roll down perfect the window lock works the door locks work fine from the the door lock switch. its just the mirror trigger when switched to the left side triggers the door lock. I tried a different mirror switch it still did the same thing as well.

if you dont have a multimeter i suggest picking one up from harbor freight for under $10
also you never mentioned what year, model civic you have. let me know that and I can check the wiring diagram for it and tell you what wires to probe.

Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
just because the wires in the doors have never been in a crash, doesnt mean there isnt a wire broken inside of the harness, a broken ground wire could cause exactly what you are describing, doors open and close a lot and wires flex

Re: power mirror switch triggering drivers door unlock
this. basically you are going to have to pull the door panel and probe all the wires. no one here can help you in any way until you do basic diagnostics. you most likely have a short to ground/another wire somewhere in the harness. once you find the short go from there.

The floor harness is a 96 civic ex floor harness from the dealer.

Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
if the car hasnt left the garage in two years, have you checked the inside of the doors for furry critters? they love to chew on wiring and can get into almost anything, you wouldn't have the first build with electrical gremlins caused by unwelcome visitors

Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
no critters opened the door panels yesterday to give it another diagnostic plus the interior is pretty stripped out right now.

Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
You gotta be detailed about this car. Did the car have those options before and you decided to replace the harness? Or are you adding them?

Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
I am not sure on that diag though because everything works the back up lights the head lights the cluster etc.

Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
What harnesses did you buy? The floor harness has a partial connection to the power mirrors. How did you wire up the controls?
#22
Re: Power Mirror Switch Triggering Power Door Locks
The floor harness is from honda part number 32107-S03-A31 96 honda civic ex 2 door coupe.
The door harness I bought from a pick and pull I have 2 pairs all from ex coupes. so everything is done in an OEM fashion.
Like I said with the harness disconnected at the door jams it still activates buy pressing the directional on the mirror when switched over to driver side position.
