How do you shut that key in the ign beep?

All I want to do is get rid of the beeping when I have the key in the ignition and an open drivers door. The trick is I don't want to lose my dome light. I have a 98 Honda Civ :rolleyes:

OMG! That's easy...
To stop that annoying beeping, instead of leaving the keys in ACC mode switch it over to the START/IGNITION but, don't start the car. Just leave it there for a couple seconds. The car will beep a series of beeps then all will be quiet.

There is another way to stop that beeping. You can either just pull the panel off the area between the backseat and the driver door. You don't have to completely remove this. Just so it is far enough, so that you can see a green, and I think yellow wire. All you have to do is unplug the wire. You won't lose your dome light. Or if you want to be more difficult, you can cut the wire and install a on/off switch. So you can flip it on for the beep, and off when you don't want it to beep. If you need any more help let me know. I put the on/off switch in my 93 civic. :D

CivicGurl's way is better. If you just turn the key to on, you energize the fuel pump, causing premature wear if you're not actually gonna use it, and also draining the battery more.

yes, xlvera;s way is definitely the newb way, and a good way to kill your fuel pump and maybe even your starter prematureley
