Wut is the light in front of my shifter?
...and why did it just come on for the first time yesterday when i turned the car off. i went back out to check it a little later and it was off. i havent seen anything about this little red light in the manual. or maybe i didnt look hard enough.
should i be concerned? my battery died from leaving the car on too long thethe other day and had to be jumped. i dont know if that coulda caused it.

its a manual, ill go take a picture in just a minute.
also while on topic of the battery dying, if im not mistaken the maintenance req light will flash 5 times due to readiness codes? which ive read will program the codes while driving after some time?
be back with the pic

prolly wired to your alarm..

Hmm.. I think I'll mount my alarm light there..

I don't have one there.. and according to AmbulanceMonkee, he doesn't have one either..
If you got the alarm option with your car, the dealership has the option to mount the alarm light where ever they please.. My dealership started to mount it down between my coin holder/ash-tray thing and my hood pop latch but my dad threw a bitch fit and they mounted it in one of the empty switch slots next to the lighter adapter. I then got rid of the red one and put in a blue scanner bar..

Re: Wut is the light in front of my shifter?
well, Just to be sure, I'd take off the center console (not hard.. 2 pop-clips, 2 bolts, and 2 screws) and trace the wires leading to the LED..
Hmm.. if they installed your alarm like they did mine (assuming you have one..), the alarm.. "brain" thingy.. lol.. would be somewhere under the driver side dash hidden behind the black plastic panel that just clips on under the steering column. If the wires from the LED lead into that using some sort of electrical 2-pin connector, then there's your answer..
So yea.. trace the wires and if you're confused about what it goes to, take pictures along the way and post them.. I'm sure if I can't help you figure it out, some electrical guru might be able to

Damn JUJUBE's popping up all over the place. I think that civics and JUJUBE's go hand in hand like Harleys and gremlins. Before you know it, we will be hanging bells from our front lips so that the Jujube's don't jump aboard.

Someone repped me. I think I know who it was but if you would pm me, I will rep you back.
Also, from now on when you rep, leave your name so that the person receiving the rep can return the favor.
