Good morning all! I was hoping someone could offer some guidance and if
not this is good for a laugh...
I got a 96 AccordLX Coupe used one month ago. The car was in an accident, had the passenger side door replaced and the sound system is factory. All power controls work flawlessly with replaced door. The only problems were the curb light in passenger door stayed on overnite and drained my battery, the door indicator was always lit and the front speakers didn't work. After removing the bulb and ignoring the indicatomy next step was to replace the front speakers.
One day the driver side speaker engaged after I signalled! A few days later I had the passenger door open and that speaker kicked in though at half strength. I was curious to what extent my electrical problems are so I plugged the curb bulb back in and observed the following symptoms:
1 Driver side front speaker works fine once a headlite or signal is engaged.2 Passenger side speaker will start up and be loudest when door is open, though never to full strength. When door is closed it becomes very faint. Also it will be slightly louder when overhead light is set to center. Overhead light glows dimly on center setting while this speaker is active and door is closed.
3 Curb Light on passenger will behaive normal until radio is on or overhead light is set to center. Turn the radio on and the light will glow or pulsate (even if car is fully turned off!). Centering overhead light will cause curb light to do opposite (on when door closed, off when open).Until the overhead light came into play I had suspected all problems were related to a grumpy 10-year-old factory radio. Now I don't know where to start. I'm hesitant to install new speakers until this problem
is rectified. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!
