According to the wiring diagram in the Haynes repair manual there is a multiplex integrated control unit (MICU) that regulates the door courtesy lights and the ceiling light. If the door lights are working and the ceiling light is the problem the MICU is probably ok. I would check continuity of the ceiling light ground wire (white/Blue) and the hot wire(green/red) as well as the switch. Locating the MICU might require a good wiring diagram or a Google search, so let's hope it is the switch.

Bioman, thank you for the info. the door lights do work, and
I checked "buyahomes" suggestion that I bang on the overhead light assembly. I did and the passenger side light
came on.
  I will try someones suggestion to check the ground wire,
if I can figure out how to get to it.
thanks all, maybe honda needs to include a rubber mallet
with their cars.

What manual are you using to get color codes on the wire? I found a haynes manual for about $20 that looks good, but I like the idea of wire color codes.
  Looks like the honda needs it.

The Haynes Manual's schematic diagrams have the wiring labeled as per my last post.

#5267 of 5868 Center console coin door won't stay shut by accord6mt

May 04, 2010 (7:40 am)

Arg. The flip-up coin door is no longer staying closed. It just stays open all the time. When moving the door 100% up and 100% down (with decent pressure at 100% closed position to see if locking mechanism will engage), fast or slow, the door moves smoothly and there no clicking, friction or any other indicator that the door locking mechanism is broken... it's almost as if the locking mechanism was no longer attached to the door assembly.
 
Any thoughts? I'd hate to have to buy another assembly but that might the fastest and least frustrating route to take.
 
Thanks in advance!

#5268 of 5868 Coin box by carpenter22

I have the same problem, only it's the center console behind the coin box. I can bring it all the way down and it just snaps up; no latching appears to happen. I just leave it open, although I know that isn't an attractive option for the coin box.

so this is a coupe? If so, it seems unlikely that both door actuators would fail at the same time. I'd check the fuse for the locking system.

#5271 of 5868 2005 4 Cyl Accord Auto Transmission Issue by finzz

May 04, 2010 (5:11 pm)

I have 102k miles on my accord and notice that when driving around town - 25 mph speed limit If I hit the gas to maintain speed up an incline or simply give the gas a little tap AND the tachometer is hoovering in the neighborhood of 1250 - 1500 RPM, I can feel a shudder.bucking motion through the car. Doesn't matter if the car is cold or at normal operating temp and this also happens only when in high gear and is getting progressively worse
 
A better way to explain it: It feels the same as if you were driving a manual transmission in too high a gear and that feeling you get thru the car when it's "telling" you to downshift... the bucking/shuddering motion. That's the way it feels
 
If I step harder on the gas, it won't behave this way.. only if I'm being very "gentle"
 
I hope I explained that well enough...
 
Anyone hear of or have a similar issue?
 
Anyone have any ideas?
