Question about the light in glove box. by tankbeans
Nov 27, 2009 (11:14 am)

Hello -
 
I've noticed lately that the light is always on in the glove box when the I have the lights on the outside of the car lit up. I don't think this light was always on before. Is there something I should do which can turn the light in the glove box off?

The light does come on when the headlights are turned on. I do recall earlier complaints for owners seeing light coming from around the glove box door. The solution from the dealer (and my 04 has the fix) was to add a strip of black foam along the top edge of the glove box to block the light. There may have been a TSB posted for the fix.

You might want to do an internet search on this"!" light thing. I think there were some problems, and maybe a TSB on wheel speed sensors causing something like this. Have you been doing anything in the wheel-wells lately? (brakes, wheels etc.) Maybe check the wires and connections to the sensors. I don't know if the brake pedal position switch could cause this light, but check to see if your brake lights are working, next time the light comes on.

Did a little checking of my own, and the brake pedal position switch seems to be the prevailing theory. Do the brake lights work, when the light is on? Do you have any trouble getting the shift lever out of park? Do you hear clicking sounds, when the brake pedal is pushed? All these symptoms are also linked to the pedal position switch.

I had a bad position switch in my 03EXV6. That caused the TCS lignt
 to come on.
When the TCS light came on, it triggerred the triangle light to come
on also to indicate the TCS was deactivated.
 
Maybe something else to cause only the triangle light to come on.
I think it could be a faulty traction control switch.

Could also be a wheel speed sensor. I remember reading about corrosion causing them to fail.

replacing 2006 Accord Map light bulb by nclefty

Can someone tell me how to remove the plastic lens over the 2 map lights in a 2006 Accord? I assume it simply pries off, but I don't want to break it so I thought I'd ask before I attempted it.
 
My real problem is this - when I open a door, only the right maplight comes on, even though the left light works if I reach up and toggle it on. Does the map lights use dual filament bulbs?
 
Thanks

I am pretty sure if there is a problem with a wheel speed sensor, the
TCS warning light will come on. When my TCS light cam on, I looked
up to see what could cause the light to come on. Here are the possible causes:: pressure in the TCS/VSA modulator, brake position switch, and wheel speed sensors.
There will be codes for those conditions.
When the TCS light comes on, so does the triangle light.
 
Under the normal condition, the triangle light comes on & stays on when the driver turns off the TCS feature by pressing the TCS switch.
But the light will go off on the next engine start.
The flashing triangle light indicates the TCS is in action.
 
I wonder if the orginal poster's TCS warning light has burnt out.

When the wheels slip on acceleration, only the triangle light comes on (I think), so if one of the front wheel sensors is reading false (low or high), the traction control could be activated, and thus the triangle light, without the TCS light. In this scenario however, it seems like he would feel the TCS activate. It could also be a switch or relay, I suppose, but I would check the easy thing first (brake pedal position switch).
