I have an 1989 Civic DX Hatchback. The question I have is this. I have owned this car since April of this year. I have left the headlights on twice, completely killing my battery. Does anyone know if this car is supposed to have a headlight warning chime letting you know the headlights are on when you turn off the car? If so, mine is not working. If it does have a warning chime, what type of part do I need to fix it? Thanks in advance!

 

ummmm i dont think it has one

 

whats so hard about turning off the lights? you cant tell they're on,, you need a noise to tell you?

 

I could understand if they have been turned on by accident during the day and forgot about (alot harder to see during the day time) But if its during the night i dont know how they can be left on by accident

 

It is usually during the day, when you cannot easily tell they are on. At night it is obvious when they are on. So it does not have a chime?

 

^^mine doesnt have one. only thing mine has is that annoying honda beep when you open the door

 

There is no buzzer on any of our cars. Go buy one for like $5 and hook it up to your fuse box. There is a recent thread floating around about how to install one.

 

Nope. Aint got one. Only use your parkng/headlights when you REALLY need them. Then you'll know that they are on. Unless it becomes a habit.

 

it's really easy to hook one up. You just plug a couple wires into the fusebox. If the headlights are on when the ingnition is not it chimes.

 

or hey you could just simply try turning them off everytime you get out of your car i mean its right there to the left of the steering wheel, are you blind?

that should help you out

 

this thread prompted me to go install one myself. i got a 3M kit that came with fuse taps, and hooked up the red lead to the instrument panel fuse, and the white lead to the cigarette lighter relay and it works like a charm.

 

i love how a simple question turned into a "how can you not tell, what are you, stupid?" bashing...

to answer your question... no, our cars don't have a warning chime.

and i'm glad my ek has the chime because there's a lot of rainy/snowy/foggy days where my lights are on in the daytime and it doesn't take much not to realize when parking.
