my dome light does the same thing, but any way just a question do you have a sub? if so does it do it when it hits? if thats when it happens you need a capacitor.

Check the grounds, deff. However, theres something called the ELD (electronic load detector) under the fuse box in the engine bay, take it out and clean it with electrical contact cleaner and see if that helps, its just a guess

Or if you have a junkyard around you, you can just go and pull a fusebox, I don't think cleaning it does any good.

its under it, so you may have to take a ratchet and socket, if thats what holds it down. Go to yahoo images, and type "honda eld" its the 3rd pic to the right i believe. That one is from a 99-00 civic but it'll give you a good idea

well i just found out lastnight that i had the code and it was after I replaced the alt and bat. I dont have a scan tool so I had to fit it (or so I thought) and take it to auto zone and have my buddy scan it for me.
