Do you have the stock head unit in your car?

does your door nipple thing work? the button that senses if the door is open/closed?

it's the door switch, see if u can pull it out and jump the wires (see if it turns on), probably just the switch though, real cheap OEM from honda...

And what if it's not the door swicth??

If you REALLY can't seem to figure it out, take it somewhere and have it checked out, just to be on the safe side.

Try one thing at a time. if its not go from there..

if you have the stock radio make sure the green plug behind it is actually plugged in to the back of the radio, as your door trigger wire runs through the radio to get to the dome light. or put a jumper wire across lt. green/red to lt. green/black wires in the green plug then if you do change your radio your all set. also ive seen the switches in the domelight get corrosion on the terminals. just drop the domelight, take the cover of the rear of the switch, get your girlfriends finger nail file and scuff the three copper dots, and the switch contact, wipe it with alcohol(rubbing not drinking) put it back together. hope this helps
