Hi,

Newbie posting, hopefully in the right area

Just bought an 06 Civic EX semi-auto, am in love with it already.

The only niggle I have is that the ceiling lights, map spotlights, boot light do not work.

I've just taken it in for a quick check at my local Honda dealership and they couldn't find any fault with the fuses or bulbs (although I think they just checked the boot bulb). They think that something else is causing the problem and potentially need to spend a lot more time tracking the cause of the problem.

Obviously I accept their diagnosis but just wanted to post here just in case anyone has exerienced anything similar.

My car has a light sensor which is linked to the auto headlights - but as far as I'm aware this isnt linked to the interior lights?

Everything else looks fine, blue courtesy light, glovebox, illuminated controls etc etc

Not a big problem, but would be nice to fix without spending a lot of time and cash on...

Any help would be greatfully received.

Many Thanks,
Pasty

Would guess blown fuse, have you checked all fuses in both fuse boxs

 

[Pasty]

The dealership checked the fuses and couldnt see anything untoward, although they haven't been replaced. Boot bulb checked also.

Thanks.

Still say check all the fuse, someone here might tell you exactly which ones to check.

mines went in the golf last night it was a 7.5 fuse there was only one, but unsure bout the civic

On my car the main interior light fuse is in the main fusebox in the engine bay.

On civics it is a 7.5Amp fuse that is brown.

I know this as i blew mine 2 times when reconnecting the boot light.

If honda can't find a fault and you have no lights they are idiots.

Thanks for all the replies, I'll check / replace the relevant fuses as soon as I get a chance and post back.

Fuse 17 under the bonnet. Blew mine putting in footwell light the other day, 7.5 amp micro blade fuse.

I agree with the others... its prob a fuse. unless a wire has been damaged... very unlikely, as a fuse would burn out before a wire.
