Default Where is the Dome Light Fuse?

The dome light on my '94 DX doesn't work. I've tried the slider in all of the positions and it doesn't come on when the front doors are open. I've looked through the fuses and can't find one that is blown but there are several empty slots. So I'm wondering if the fuse is just missing...but I'm not sure what slot it is supposed to be in.

Other problems that I've found is the radio (factory) doesn't have any working lights and there is not a working headlight warning buzzer. Not sure if those problems would be related on this car or not. Just need to know where to start looking and testing.

Thanks,

Derek

Fuse #3 in the under-dash fuse/relay box controls the ceiling light circuit. Also check whether the light bulb is blown. Otherwise, the ceiling light or door switches may be bad (see picture).

Thanks! Turns out the fuse was missing. I swapped one in for a couple of minutes and it seemed to work fine...need to pick up some 7.5A's at the parts store tomorrow...I don't have any.

My headlight warning buzzer doesn't work and my wife would like to have it. Do you know if that is hooked up through a fuse too or is it a module/relay type thing that probably got unplugged?

Thanks again,

Derek

Sorry, I just can't find the headlight warning buzzer feature you mention in the 92-95 Civic manual. I find a Key-on Reminder but not a headlight warning buzzer. 96-98 Civics have the headlight Reminder feature built into the Integrated Control Unit attached to the rear of the under-dash fuse/relay box. Maybe your 94 Civic has a 96-98 Integrated Control Unit?

For the Radio light, check fuse #19 in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is fine, then the bulb in the radio unit is probably burned out.

I figured headlight warning buzzers were standard equipment in everything...guess not...found out that wasn't an option on these cars. I knew I had problems when I first bought the car because the only light inside was the instrument cluster and there wasn't a single chim or buzzer. Ended up replacing the bulbs in the climate control and putting in that #3 fuse gave me dome lights and a chime when I put the key in the ignition. My radio is still dark but I'm guessing the bulbs are burnt out...won a CD player on eBay yesterday so I'll replace it soon anyway.

Thanks for the help!
