Hello and thank you. I need some help here. 2000 civic lx 4 dr no sunroof stock radio 67,000miles (moms) A few weeks ago I changed the dome light and trunk light to a brighter. LED .. It was working great. I even noticed it would dim( in door mode)Then one day it just stayed on and would not turn off unless switch was set to off..
I have checked all 4 door switches and they are working properly in terms of ohms..
We bought this car used 5 years ago and we never received key fobs so I'm not sure if it has keyless entry or not. Again this is the stock radio
Looking at Mitchell wire diagram. I see the ICU which I'm (assuming is part of the fuse box????) and then it runs the the keyless door lock control unit (1999-2000) Does any one know where this is
Better yet has anybody else had this problem and know exactly what caused it and what to do and how do I go about fixing it. I was thinking about Just rewiring from the green at the drivers door to the lt green/black. Just not sure if this would be a problem Or could I just bypass the. ICU green to lt green red??
Any help would be greatly appreciated . I would like to keep the led light. It's. a lot better for mom to see with

Yes.

 

Yes?? Can you elaborate on this answer

 

OMG. Just put the stock bulbs back in the car instead of hacking stuff up. It was fine until you decided to upgrade it.

 

I have tried that and the green wire stays grounded. For the door circuit

 

You are on the right track with the ICU for a 2000 Civic... when the dome light is switched to come on when a door is opened, the ICU unit provides a temporary and diminishing ground for the dome light until it goes out.
The ICU is on the back of the fuse panel near the drivers side. I haven't tackled this on my 97 CRV yet. From the wiring diagram, it appears that I could eliminate the ground to the ICU and the light would go off (but not fade out). Or I could simply bypass the ICU for the same result.
I am not sure how complex or simple this would be.
