91 CRX Si
I just got a 91 CRX Si yesterday. I know it's been around the block a while (288k miles), but the engine has just over 90k. There's a couple of little things that need to be fixed, and I'm hoping you guys can help me. Here's a couple of simple things to start off with:
1. Driving with the headlights on. Works fine, but when you park and turn off the car, the passenger yellow light up front goes off, then flickers back on and stays on. Nothing solved it right off, so I took the bulb out, since it'll obviously run the battery down. Any ideas why it'll stay on?
2. The seatbelt warning light intermittenly comes on when I'm driving, even though I'm buckled in. I even buckle in before I start the car - that seems to stop the warning in the past, but when I'm driving?
3. The driver's door squeaks when I open it. That's fine, given it's a 17 year old car, but it sounds like a rubber band - kinda twangy in a way. Would that be something to even worry about?
Thanks in advance

Re: 91 CRX Si (jrichar3)
For 1): sounds like it's getting a draw from a constant power source, try to trace it from the bulb socket back through the harness with a test light.
Not sure on 2.
For 3) Try greasing your door hinge and the roll pin. Otherwise, it's just a symptom of wear, I've had a driver's door pop like that before but it never really bothered me.
