2000 EX Coupe
I got home tonight and parked the car, lights off, walked away and clicked the fob to lock the car. It locked fine, clicked it again, beeped. Noticed the reverse lights were lit (almost looked like reflected light), but look and yea, they're on. I opened the trunk so i could see the lights from the drivers door, popped the shifter to reverse and turned the key on. The reverse lights came on full power, popped back to neutral, lights went off. "Oh cool, just stuck on..." Nope. Closed the door and the reverse lights came back on very dim...
Recently I had redone the exterior lights in SuperBrightLED 18 SMD LEDs. I hated them and decided to RMA them, so today seemed like the perfect time to pull them. Pulled every LED out of the car and went back to halogen until I can source better quality LEDs.
WHILE I was swapping the lights in the trunk, I noticed my dome light was flickering. I thought it was related to a wire I was messing with for the reverse lights so I moved the wire and couldn't get a rhythm going. All the bulbs halogen outside, inside light still just doing what it wants. It flickers at different speeds, stays on, shuts off, whatever it wants to do. The interior festoons are Samsun 6 LED bulbs by DDM tuning (they came with my HID kit). I pulled the festoons and went back to halogen here also. Still the dome light does whatever it wants.
With the dome light as LED OR HALOGEN, on switch, it's on, off switch stays off. Only in the middle for the door open and unlock operation is when it goes nuts.
Also, the reverse lights seem fine at this point.
*Also also. this time with the dome light going crazy, the lock button on my fob really does nothing. The light on the fob says I hit a button, but the car doesn't respond. It will respond to the unlock command and the panic command.
So what did I break? I'm incredibly confused...
Edit, I put the dome light to the middle position and opened the door, it stays off now it seems. I tried wiggling the harness of wires going from the door to the chassis and it didn't do anything. Locking the doors from the switch inside DOES work.
