    More Surprises!

    Heh, been slowing fixing some of the minor electrical problems with my car lately. I just reupholstered my sunvisiors, and looking closer at the vanity mirror, the previous owner(s) cut the power wire to it. So I took it all apart and rewired it all. From the spring behind the mirro to the connectors at the roof. I took off the cover nearest to the sunvisor, the one that covers the pillar. And I noticed what looked like a speaker wire going to it. After following it to it starting point, it looks like it was spliced into the wire for the glowbox light. I looked through the Honda manual and didnt see it there. So it it part of the light? I doubt it just wanted to be sure though.

    yeah the glove and the visor lights ran in one line. I found the same thing, when i removed my headliner. it was a clear casing just like the speaker wire.

    what year and bodystyles are your cars?
    The one on my 87 sedan wasn't working b/c there was a disconnected wire in the trunk passenger side by the speaker. I didn't check to see if it spliced to the glove box
    Hooking it up to the glovebox should work the same though.
