wtf is this switch?

I was poking around last night looking for a place to hide my fuel cut off switch when I noticed something in my trunk. On the passenger side on the right there is some on/off switch that is covered by a plastic piece of what looks like the same shit corner lights and shit are made of. Anyone know what it does?

a trunk light ;)

j/p dunno mate

I guess the first place to start is, what style of body you have? HB, or sedan?

I'll look in my trunk, although a little more info would help, is the switch covered by anything? was it under a panel or out in the open? dimensions of the switch/plastic cover?

And yeah, not to sound rude or stupid, simply from what I can think of, it does sound like the trunk light dude. :wink:

maybe your trunk light bulb is burned out, if of course, that is what it is. if it isn't, then we all have quite the mystery on our hands. :bigthumb:

-Adam.

yea i never even though of that...maybe it is a light...didnt see a bulb though and there isnt one on the other side so i dunno. its an 89 dx hatch

Yep, it's a trunk light. Probably just need to replace the bulb...

its the trunk light, and im not sure about anyone else, but on my hatch, i have to turn my running lights on for the trunk light to come on. anyone else have this?

Mine only comes on when i open the hatch.

mine u just flip the switch and its on, not very bright though kinda useless

nope.....maybe someone rewired it and tapped into the parkinglight wire for power

no man, its all stock wires, and nothing has been rigged. the only thing i can see is that the wire goes into the dash harness but is in the wrong pin location on the plug. or something. trust me, i would find anything that was rigged up. i strip 4g civics all the time

What the Hell!?!? theres a Hatch Light?!?! Holy shit! i never knew that! :biggrin:

on si hatches only i believe, i had to swap it when i did the sx

my dx has a light, but my STD didnt

alright, i thought i was missing out on something here! whew, i feel better now, wish i had a damn light tho hehe

i have dx and it has it

my crx has the light too, it barely lights up the switch tho when its on.

someone wanna post a picture of this light in a hatch?

TIA
