I have a question about the dome light in my car. I have a 99 Accord, EX sedan, 5 spd, 4 cyl. The problem is, when I open any of the doors on the car, the dome light does not come on automatically. The lights on each individual door will come on, but the dome light will not. Does anyone have a possible solution to what might be causing this to happen? The dome lights will work manually if I press the button on either one of the dome light buttons, and will turn off manually when I press again to turn off. Thanks in advance to any help.

 

Well, a 99 EX should have had a factory alarm system so my first thought went out the window.....

Do the "door open" icons on the dash come on? When the door is open are you getting ground to the light housing?

 

The dash icons do not come on when I am first opening the door. They will however come on if the key is in the ignition and on, then the little door symbols light up when a door is opened, but with no key in the ignition they do not light up.

 

BUMP.......Having the same issue with my 2001 Accord VP. My mechanic tested all the fuse boxes and everything was working. The open door light works and even the dome light works when turned on but not when the doors are open.

Also, my gear shift light works intermittently. Any help would be appreciated!!!!
