need help finding the parking light wire

[Aaron]

well ive been under my dash looking for it for a little while now and i still havent located it...directwire.com told me it was a red/black wire in the fuse box behind the drivers side kick panel but i havent been able to find it there...

can someone tell me where exactly this wire is? i want to hook it up to my alarm, thanks...

[ChIoVnIdCa]

what r u trying to do with it?

[Aaron]

my alarm has the option of flashing the parking lights when it arms/goes off

[Aaron]

can anybody help???

[Pasamonster]

ok check it out its not in the fuse box

look at the plugs a little above or to the side of the fuse box.

if you're going to hook it up to your alarm an easier way to splice into it is at the wire loom that comes from underneath the steering column from the headlight switch.

yea i was looking for it there too but i had a hard time finding it still...i knew the wire wasnt in the fuse box but was supposed to be on one of the harnesses above it but i still couldnt find it, thanks for you help

[Aaron]

I have to remember how I did mine now, but I think I found the cable in one of the bundles coming from underneath the steering column. I know I had a hard time finding some cables, but I think that is where I found it.

You need at best a voltmeter to test it and at worst a test light.

you have to fish through the wires, its kinda funny sometimes cause there is a group of like 20 wires, and you would think u went through every single one but really u missed 2 or 3 which coiuld of been it!

id get a pick tool and start seperating the wires inside there, meaning just moving them to see everytthing, sometimes the drop light you are using changes the color of certain colors...

its nice to have a test light

you wont die if you dont hook it up if you cant find it now, hook it up to the headlight =) haha

In your fuse panel in the driver's side kick panel you will find that above the fuses there are four ports with male spade connectors in them. One of those ports is parking lights and is used for the dealer add-on fog light kit. Instead of splicing wire you can simply put a female spade on your parking light wire and insert it in there.

The parking light port will be the second one from the front of the car. Test everything prior to making final connections.

that was some very helpful information..thanks a lot

where exactly could i get a female spade connector?

[BustedLX]

Home Depot, Radio Shack, Your local sound shop, etc. It's just a regular spade connector. Like the ones you use on your speaker wires to connect to the back of the speakers.

o okay, thanks i was thinking it was a honda specific connector
