Hi y’all . I’m having trouble figuring out why my driver side courtesy light doesn’t work but everything else does? Was working fine until I tried to replace the bulb all fuses seem fine

 

Are you replacing it with a standard bulb? Or an led bulb? If led, try spinning it end for end and try it again. If a standard bulb, the wire to it might have come off, or you have a bad ground.

 

I replaced it with a LED bulb and only the driver side went out passenger is working fine

 

Generally, LED bulbs are polarized (i.e., positive and negative matters), unless they have a bridge rectifier as part of the circuit. As mentioned previously, try turning the led bulb around.

 

I checked all fuses and turned bulb around and still no luck I could have a bad ground or maybe burned something out ?

 

The same fuse protects and provides power to both door courtesy lights; so, it won't be the fuse.

1. Try swapping the passenger side LED to the driver's side to see if the bulb is burnt out.
2. If it is not burnt out, check whether power is running through the Wht/Blu wire at the driver's side connector.
3. If there is power on the Wht/Blu wire, then there is the possibility you may have shorted out the Multiplex Integrated Control Unit (MICU) which is incorporated into the under-dash fuse/relay box. The MICU provides the ground through the Yel/Blu wire to the driver's side courtesy light.

 

So I have a similar problem with my front passenger side courtesy light and door. So one, the courtesy light doesn’t turn on while all others do. Two, the dome light doesn’t light up when I open the front passenger side door while it does with all other 3 doors. I check the wire for power and ground and I noticed I get no ground (yellow cable silver marks) only power. I traced it back to the passenger side fuse box and the box itself seems faulty. The connector pins that seem to be connected to the yellow ground wire for the courtesy light give me no reading. What can I do ?

 

I think the original poster has a 2006 while I think yours is 2001 V6. Very different cars, very different circuits. It's always important to let the forum know exactly what car you're talking about.

I used to have a 1998, same generation as 2001, but mine was a 4-cyl. So I'm not completely familiar with the V-6 Accord of that generation (1998-2002) but I can guess that the interior light circuits are about the same.

I think the interior lights always have power, and you've checked the light socket has power. You say the fusebox has not ground??? Generally, the fusebox is involved with the hot side of each circuit, not the ground side. How exactly did you check for ground at the fusebox? Or maybe I mis-interpreted what you said...

I think the fusebox is not involved with the ground side of the circuit for these lights. Check the little switch in the door jamb. That simply connects the wire to ground. The wire might be disconnected, broken, or something corroded so it's not making a good ground connection.

 

Dude I think you’re a 100% right. I just made an account on this forum last night then went on to read what other people have said and it seems to be right . I have no door jamb switch in rn but I just came back from pick and pull and got a couple since mine were all beat up and the missing one thanks for checking on me tho. Also I used one of those probe lights that connects to the cars battery and lights red for power , green for ground
