Left the lights on... battery died
Left the lights on... battery died
I bought a used 95 Honda Civic and not sure if this car has a feature that it would emit a sound if you forgot the lights after removing the key.
I have a Honda Passport (99) and I got used to the beep/sound reminder whenever I leave the lights on.
I was wondering if this 95 civic has the same thing. If it does then mine is probably broken.
Thanks!

Good question- I wish I had the answer for you, but I got an 01 and it gives the tone alert.

I think on most of the 5th Gen it was a dealer option. I just installed one on my 94 DX. Very easy to do.
I didn't want an annoying buzzer so I used this part.

It sounds like a doorbell and isn't overly loud. Has a nice tone but you will notice it.
I wired it to the 4 & 5 tabs on the fuse box and ran a ground wire to the door switch. I just hooked to the connector, basically I pulled the connector apart, stripped 1/4" on my wire, put it through the hole on the metal tab and reinserted into the connector. Very simple. Now the chime only works when the door is open.
Ir was a simple install, no splicing into stock wiring, just extending the wires on the chime.

i own a 94 civic ex and it doesnt have a beeper when you leave the lights on. ya, i think its a dealer option too. i used to own a 88 accord and it had a beeper when you left the lights on! but not my 94. i took the beeper out tho it drove me crazy.

Re: Left the lights on... battery died
you have to make your own. cars that come with a beeper usually have it integrated in the gauge cluster.
