Default HELP!PROBLEM WITH KEYLESS ENTRY/RADIO '98 EX

Anyone that could help would be much appreciated.

Alright I understand that in my '98 civic EX the keyless entry is controlled by the radio.

After I figured that out I hooked the stock radio back up, but nothing works. Dome light, keyless

entry, and radio all have voltage going into and out of their connectors. This is my problem. If

Anyone has had this problem, or know how to fix it please let me know....Thanks

You have to get a special wiring harness that still sends power to the stock head unit then you have to stuff it back in the dash. Then install your aftermarket stereo.

If you don't care about keyless you have to jump two leads to get the dome light to work... don't remember which ones but you can look it up.

Here's a solution to install an aftermarket stereo in a 96-00 Civic and keep the dome light triggered by the door switches w/o hiding the factory radio inside the dash or cutting any wires:

On the larger green plug-in harness find the light green wire w/ black stripe and the light green wire w/ red stripe.

Create a 2" jumper wire out of slightly larger gauge braided wire.

Trace the location of each of these wires into the plug-in and firmly press the jumper into each of their locations.

Check that the dome switch is in the center position and open each door to make sure that the switches are again working.

Secure the jumper in place by taping it to the plug-in, reinstall your aftermarket unit, and enjoy...


Hope this helps let me know if u have any questions

^ its only needed for 96-98. They corrected the problem with the 99-00 6th gens.
