I have tried everything besides taken her to the stealership.
Ever since I put on that effin Injen CAI i have been having grounding problems. When i turn the headlights on, the right one will not come on, and the right turn signal will stay illumated, also the BRAKE light on the instrument panel stays on. Sometimes the heat or Ac wont work when this happens either. I have to get out of my car reach under my splash sheild and wiggle the grounding wire, and shock the hell outta myself everytime.....if i cant get this fixed soon, im sellin it!

Can you take a pic of the wire that you wiggle? And please be sure to zoom out far enough for us to get context clues as to it's location

P.s. What year civic? By your join date, would it be safe to assume 01-05?

I have a 2005 Civic LX Sedan. I cant get a pic of it right now but if you turn your steering wheels completely to the right and go to the right wheel well, pull off your splash sheild and you will see the grounding wires attached to a screw and a peice of rubber.

Has this grounding point been taken loose and cleaned & re-connected yet ?

Yes, i removed my wheel, taken the connector off, wire brushed it and replaced it. It worked fine for about 2 days, then it came back worse. BTW every time i use my right turn signal my parking BRAKE light will blink with the turn signal or sometimes the signal and the parking brake light will stay on. (when using the headlights).

Possibly check and clean the upper large body ground connections.

You could provide a temp ground to the right side bulbs and look for changes, there seems to be some a bit hard to explain (brake indicator)

That doesn't sound like a bad ground, it sounds like you shorted the ECM/PCM somehow.

Take that ground off, clean it again good AND the part of the chassis it grounds to, put di-electric (contact grease) on it, then make sure that it's screwed on tight.

@ Riceboy: Behind right inner fender under the headlight. That sensor on the right is the impact sensor.

^^^ all the mentioned bulbs and some other items use G201 for grounding and that picture is of G201. That is a much better picture than in the manual.

edit: Just re-read your post. If it's shocking you then somewhere there is a power wire touching one of those grounds. Good luck hunting.

Did you see the body pin and what's left of my inner fender?

Definitely agree with this post. A ground wire shouldn't be shocking you.

 
Rep Power: 291

No wires should be shocking you

You are having a constant short, check ALL your power wires, something must be hitting chassis

like they said, GL on hunting it

Did you clean and expose the body metal where the terminal will contacting when tightened down ??

You could try providing a ground to one of the bulbs ground leads and see if anything changes.

All right! Good to hear. You just saved a ton of money troubleshooting on your own. Going rate is $100-150/hr.
