Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Check the wiring harnesses, then check the fuses and any relays/switches that might be in between. There's gotta be a short somewhere.

Is it possible the contact in the steering column went bad?? Now I'm just guessing, but something in there is keeping the circuit open.

Thats what I did all weekend. I just took my car to the dealer for repair, but they shot major attitude at me about it because my car is under warranty and they don't want to repair it for free. BASTARDS!

Sure enough, node 6 in the staulk. Must be a minor issue in the 7thgen.

Please see the thread "HEADLIGHT PROBLEM PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!". I have posted a lot of details about this problem. I don't consider it "minor". I recommed contacting the NHTSA about a recall, considering I found burnt contacts in my Civic. Keep your receipts.
