"Door open" switch location 1991 Accord EX?
Hello.
My driver's door switch is no longer working; the courtesy light won't come on and, more importantly, I get no warning if the lights are on or the keys are in the ignition. Where is this switch located? I assume it is inside the door itself (activated by the checkstrap perhaps?) but I don't want to pull the door panel until I'm sure. I have had no luck finding it in the factory workshop manual. Thanks -Mark |

Your door switch should be on the bottom part of the door FRAME toward the rear, NOT on the door itself. It should look something like this pictu http://www.angelfire.com/ok4/u2pac/h...r_actuator.JPG This is from my '86-89 Accord manual, but the location on your '91 should be pretty much the same: http://moltenimage.com/freebies/g3ac...rical/25-6.JPG --- avast!

The wipers only work with the key in the "Ignition" position. Dome light is on constant power. DEFINITELY different fuses. Also, Mark said his you-left-your-keys-in-the=ignition-idiot beeper isn't working, which I don't believe is on the same fuse. Pretty much narrows down the problem to the door switch(es), although that's not definite as he didn't mention whether the dome light works with the built-in switch or the passenger door. --- avast!

Dome > light is on constant power. DEFINITELY different fuses. i may be wrong- its been several years. maybe it was just the intermittant function that wasnt working? dunno. i DO remember my dome light, the "key in" chime, and the "lights on" chime not working. and they were all the same fuse, possibly under the hood. replacing it solved the problems. > > Also, Mark said his you-left-your-keys-in-the=ignition-idiot beeper > isn't working, which I don't believe is on the same fuse. > > Pretty much narrows down the problem to the door switch(es), although > that's not definite as he didn't mention whether the dome light works > with the built-in switch or the passenger door. |
