Default No Interior Lights, Fuses ok??

Hi Guys,

For some reason the interior lights have never worked in my car since owning it.

The fog lights do not work either. I have checked the fuses & bulbs which are all good. I know the fogs are gonna run from a relay which is probably why they don't work but wondered if interior light run off a relay?

Car is a 94 Civic SiR EG6

Thanks

does your car have the map light in front of the sunroof also? anyway drop the

interior light down from the roof.(pop off the cover and remove two nuts 8mm or

10mm i cant remember) then once the light is down take a multimeter and check

the wires at the plug on the back of the light, the whiteish wire should show 12v,

the green/red should show ground when you open the doors, and one of the nuts

you removed is its constant ground source. if all this checks out, then look on the

back of the light and there should be a couple of small phillips screws, remove

these carefully, as to not loose the parts behind the cover they hold on. this will

allow you acces to the inside of the switch. their should be a couple of metal circles

and a slider that makes contacts on all them. if these arent clean and shiny, get

your mom or gitlfriends, or yours if your a girl? fingernail file and scuff these

contacts until clean and shiny , then clean with alcohol and reassemble. also

usually an eg6 has a section in the gauge cluster that shows each door and hatch

open. if this is the case the wire colors i told you maybe a little diff. but should

yeild the same results. if your wire at the light arent reading correct then check

the pinswitches in the door jamb and make sure their grounding the wires

connected to them when the doors are opened. i just woke up so if ths **** is

jumbled or i missed something sorry. also post pics of your car...please
