Afternoon folks.

A couple of little things while they're on my mind. A while ago on the S2000 Talk forum there was the discussion Does your Start button light up? about (predictably) the Start button lighting up when the key is in the ignition. Mine, a 2000/W doesn't light up. Should it, and if so does anyone have experience or suggestions for replacing the bulb?

Secondly is regarding the standard Honda alarm. I recently had my battery replaced and the first time/couple of times (?) I locked and unlocked the car it gave off a loud beeping as well as flashing the indicators. It is no longer doing this. Should it, and if so does anyone know how this 'feature' is enabled and disabled (can see it might be useful for locking or making mechanics in enclosed spaces jump ).

Thanks.

Mine's a new 04, no beeping from the alarm, and no light on the start button...

I think I've got a light behind the start button, quite dim though in day light.

Definitely no light on my start button, just went out to sit in mine in the garage with the door closed (how sad am I ).

My alarm normally beeps if I haven't shut one of the doors or the boot properly

There is definately a very dim light behind my start button - its so dim I only noticed it for the first time last night!

I'm now trying to remember whether the bonnet was still up the first time I tested setting and unsetting the alarm. Hmmmm. Going to find somewhere dark and double-check my start button. Hate to feel I'm missing out

My start button lights up when the ignition is on.

Interesting. Collating the information we have:

2 x MY02 that light
1 x MY03 that lights
1 x MY04 that doesn't
2 x MY00 that don't (presuming that mine doesn't)

A conspiracy! Albeit apparently a fairly random one...

the 'start engine' on my button is 100% backlit
