I have ponder'ed how to do this in a cb. i want to have a system like the Gmc,Chevy trucks have where you put your car in drive and the lights come on the doors lock you throw it in park and the doors unlock and the lights go out I think this would be fun there is probably a extent to cutting and spliceing oem harnesses but what kinda relays can i use ? i figure i can start at the gear shifter and when D4 is active all this happens for lights on and Park for unlock and no lights il have to look mabe i can splice into the hazzard or should i do the civic swap?

I think you should start by finding diagrams or how-tos for the GMC trucks that do it.
Once you find out how they are wired, you can take that info and apply it to the Accord.
I would think though, that the computer controls this.
Is this new GMC?
Id bet that when the vehicle shifts into D, the computer tells the doors/lights to function.
So might be more work then it's worth. -
Its probably more like, when its put into D it closes a relay that powers certain lights and sends power to the power door lock computer to act as if the switch had been pushedOriginally posted by Ralphie View Post
Its probably simple to do but i don't see the point
I find those features to be annoying and ugly ( the DRL's that run your turn signals )Comment

My Dad has a 2005 GMC Sierra, and from my understanding, it is all electronic. It has a driver info center where you can change the preferences for door unlocking (park, key out, etc), so it is definitely computer controlled. When I’ve driven it, you can turn the DRL’s off by moving the switch on the dash to “off”. They automatically turn on next time you start the vehicle. I think DRL’s are integrated in to the automatic light system on it, because it is an SLT. For example, at night the headlights automatically turn on, leaving the little DRL lights off.
DRL’s drive me nuts because every other GMC or Chevy truck/ SUV I see on the road has one burnt out. Nonfunctioning lights drive me crazy. Especially brake lights, but body lights too. I always switch ‘em off, because if people can’t see the truck, well, they’re probably blind.

You'd be better off building a sub-harness than splicing the stock wiring. Splicing the stock harness is a bitch if something goes wrong!

In a newer vehicle like that, its all digital. There is a Body Control Module that controls all the functions, its basically an ECU that controls the HVAC, lights, power seats, etcComment
