Dome not not working when door is OPEN
Hi guys,
I have a 98 Honda Civic EX Coupe. I've been trying to figure out why "door" mode is NOT working when I open the doors. Although, the light does turn on when it's at "ON".
Where should I begin to look for problems?
Thanks,
K

If you have an aftermarket radio it's not connected anymore. It's all tied in. You can do a search on this. There is a way to bypass it so the dome works.

Gotcha, I was wondering why.
I had recently installed alpine head unit.. But didn't know that it would affect the dome light. Can you tell me what should I be searching for?

You would also lose the keyless remote function. If you kept the stock radio, plug the keyless connector into it and tuck it behind the new radio to retain the dome and keyless features.

Sorry but I failed to mention that I have no keyless feature for my car, so that wouldn't matter for me anyways. Only the dome light not working when door is open is what I'm worried about.
I bought a plug and play harness from crutchfield and it works perfectly.
What should I do now?

There were two connectors at the rear of the stock radio, one for the radio and the other for the keyless system built into the radio.
You used the radio connector for your aftermarket radio. The other keyless connector is just hanging free now.
The dome light fix is simple - jump B8 (Lt Grn/Blk wire) to B14 (Lt Grn/Red wire) in the keyless connector.
