Teach me Hondas from Canada a year ago
It was a faulty DRL module, common problem is the solder in the board cracks and looses connection leading to pretty much any light issue you could have. You can take the board out and re solder connections for a quick fix or replace it on Amazon for 80 dollars shipped roughly.

CommentGround strap to battery has voltage on it. Solved
Honda Civic 1998 Ex coupe 260000 miles
While driving on the freeway I noticed the engine light was blinking, but only three blinks then a pause of about 20 seconds then 3 more blinks. At that point I had been driving a total of about 7 minutes. Roughly 4 off and 3 or so on the freeway. The car drove fine this whole time/ nothing to make me even think of the light coming on so I kept driving (about 15 more minutes home) knowing that it's not what's is suggested. Anyhow I got home went in to eat and came out to hook up my scanner (Autel AL519) will no luck. I started the car to collect info on scanner of live feed, but the scanner do… Read complete

Best answer (according to Energized Ground Strap)
Energized Ground Strap from United States 3 years ago
After a long week of testing circuits and searching for a grounded wire somewhere I had the electrical hooked back up with just the alternator unhooked. Once I hooked that up it caused the voltage on the ground strap to rise and become stronger. So I replaced the alternator and that fixed the energized ground strap issue. I have an idle issue now along with strange driving conditions so I'm waiting to see if it throws a code for something failing. I've driven almost 200 miles though so I'm not sure if a code is going to be presented.
CommentNew battery, lights and radio come on.
Honda Civic 2000 4 cylinder LX 123000 miles
I just put a new battery in my LX and it still won't start. I listened for sounds, no clicks. All of the dash warning lights, headlights, radio, and even AC come on when I turn the key, but no vroom vroom. Strange thing is the hazards lights start blinking and won't go off, not even when I turn the car off. After wiggling the turn signal stick a little and pressing the hazard button in a few times it cuts off. But when I open the door of the car the hazards come on again, and are accompanied by ding ding sound like when door is ajar--even after door is shut. I was thinking electrical problem

It turns out that the previous owners had a type of after market alarm system that was also equipped with a type of fail start button installed in the car. So the car will only start after either the button is pushed or the alarm is disabled.
Commentlow beams don't work alone
Honda Civic 2012 Civic sedan 79000 miles
My low beams only work when high beams are on. I see reference to a headlight relay as a potential issue, but I don't see where a diagram identifying the head relay. Can someone point me to relay in question? Or if someone already knows what causes this, please let me know. thanks!

My brake lights work when they are compressed. But my tail lights are not working. I have no lights at night in the back unless I tap the brakes. Also, the interior light and headlight stay dim even on the brightest! Just got this car & fixing it up for my new driver. I have changed fuses and bulbs, AutoZone mentioned replacing the switch?.

Light sensor not working
Honda Civic 2020 Sedan EX-L 98000 miles
Recently the light sensor stoped working, it’s the sensor that will turn the headlights automatically when it gets dark. I have tried looking for the part but can’t find it anywhere and I don’t want to take it to the dealer because they will obviously charge a lot does anyone know where can I find the part or what could be wrong?

Turn key nothing comes on at all. Loss of all electrical components
Honda Civic 2016 Basic 130000 miles
Put the battery in backwards, because for some reason there’s red tape on the negative which is factory tape and there’s nothing indicating the positive on the positive and all my headlights and tail lights came on so I got to looking at it and figured out the reason backward hooked it up right then it said my battery was dead so I charged it tried to start it at 95% battery and nothing so I shut it off tried again and I turn the key over everything went black, what happened

Overhead console light
Honda Civic 2017 RS Coupe 2295 miles
In the overhead console, near the sunroof switch a red warning light came on. Tried opening/closing the sun roof, turn the interior lights off/on and the red light stays on. It will go off when the exterior lights ( headlights, etc) go off, nothing else will turn it off. I didn't try the fuses, too much bother: it only a little bulb!
