is there any way to make the interior lights come on when the ignition is turned off? my sisters civic does this and its a 2000 (just 2 years newer then my CL). I like this feature because i park in a dark area at work and it would just be nice.

If you put the setting for the lights to come on when the door opens it should come on when you unlock with key fob. that's all I know of.

just open your door and they come on

I think it's a nice feature.

at least im not alone............but back to that question (besides getting responses) is it possible to make work?

Motohip

My response was not lame...or helpful, but still not lame. I like the chicken response also .

I also don't like the fact that the light shuts off as soon as you close the door. Even my sisters G20 didn't do that. Hers would slowly dim so you're not in pitch blackness trying to adjust your eyes while some murderer is staring right at you and you can't even see them until it's too late.

Okay...You can't wire it to the door because it will think the door is always open and screw up the arming system and everything else and won't shut off ever. What you can do is wire the alarm to turn on the dome light whenever it's not armed.

it would involve a relay clicking on when power is not supplied and then turning off after so many seconds

My old car had an alarm with a wire that supplied ground when the alarm was disarmed. Once you stick the key in the ignition, it automaticaly disables any alarm functions and should then turn off the light.

Is it possible. Yes. About anything is possible with the right sequence of relays, resistors, diodes, and capacitors. Check out www.the12volt.com those guys over there know there 12volt wiring like none other. Post your question there. Then tell the rest of us that want to know
