Headlights left on alarm
I have a 2003 Civic with 152,000 miles. Runs great. However, the alarm that sound when the headlight are left and the drivers door is opened no longer works. I cant tell you how many times in the last month I have come out to a dead battery. Does anyone know what is likely wrong and if I can fix it myself.

I don't know about civics because I don't own one. But on my truck there's a switch and when the door is open the switch closes the circuit and it dings. Does your dome light come on when you open the door?

remove the fuse for the headlights... who needs em, thats what street lights are for anyways right?!
good luck finding the short, check the problem areas where the cables might move frequently(doors, other movable parts, etc.)

Go to Radio Shack, and ask for a 12v chime. Open up the fuse box under the dash, somewhere in there, the head light chime wires are there. Find it. Then " Twist the red and white wires together and install a crimp on the pair and a crimp on the black wire. On a NEG. GROUND CAR: Attach the red/white combo wire to the “S & T” terminal and the black wire to the “IG” terminal on your ignition switch"
