I have a 99 Civic DX hatchback (manual tran.) that's started having an electrical issue. It began with an SRS error light recently, and yesterday I learned that the driver's side and middle brake lights don't work. The passenger side brake light works. This morning, the cd player (an original Honda car stereo) wouldn't work, and when I tried to turn it on, it just says "Code".
I checked the brake light bulbs and found that both bulbs work on the passenger side light and neither works on the driver's side light. So, it's not the bulbs.
Around the same time all of this began, I started having trouble with the driver's side (hand crank) window. The metal window surround on top of the door was becoming distracted to the door. I suspected that maybe someone had tried to break into the car and had damaged it in the process.
Does anyone have any idea of what the issue could be? I don't know what fuse is used for the brake lights, but if they're all on the same circuit, I wouldn't think it was a fuse problem. Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good manual that discusses the electrical system?
Thanks for any advice.
