if it did have corrosion and didnt make contact, wouldnt my alarm not know if my door is open or not when i arm it?? cause my alarm works properly...or is there another door switch thas connected with the light??

I have the same problem, but I have a multimeter. I checked it via the Helms book, switch is bad. Used one, 10$ on ebay.

if you have an aftermarket radio you have to put a jumper wire across the green plug behind your radio for the dome light to work with the door . I think the colors on the wires are lt. green/black, and lt. green/ red. jump them together and it should work. if these are the wrong colors some one correct me.

Yes. If you have an aftermarket radio on your honda. The Dome light stops working and you have to do something like that posted Above.

Yeah, it just turns out bein a huge hassle. It took me a while to figure out it was my deck that was screwin with my ek's dome light. Atleast they arent as bad as VWs
