Hey there, I have a 5th gen civic sedan. I was looking at the reason why my dome light won't turn on when I opened the drivers door (the positive was cut) when I connected the wire for the dome light and went to check the trunk I encountered that the light was off(the trunk was open). Now, my trunk open indicator light it's working, as far as I know the latch only has one switch, and it's good, the number 3 fuse from under dash box it's good, replaced it anyway to be sure. When I tried to test the circuit with a probe light, I saw that the pin from the conector wasn't receiving current. I searched but couldn't find so much about this. Also, I tried giving the circuit another source of positive from A option output from the fuse box, light didn't turn on neither. Ground is good btw. Any help will be appreciated


Pd: bulb and light assembly are ok too

 

Unfortunately I can’t help out. Just wanted to mention that I have an issue as well with the trunk light indicator, though mine is on a 98 EX. My trunk lid indicator will light up (flashing, and sometimes solid) while accelerating, especially once VTEC is activated. It’s quite frustrating, and I’ve been unable to locate a proper wiring schematic that includes this circuit. I’m assuming I have a bad ground or power wire somewhere, but haven’t yet been able to identify it, without having a wiring diagram / schematic.

 

Yeah, manuals don't say much about trunk light circuit, also, they don't say anything about the internal connections of the dash fuse box.
