Well I bought the used '96 civic HX last night. The mechanic discovered the SRS light and horn malfunction were due to a mouse chewing through some wires near the air bag module, under the battery tray. This car had been sitting for quite a while so I guess the mouse moved in. Still got the mystery about the shift light coming on in 5th gear. It looks to be a good solid car with only 94K miles. It does have a few things that need fixing. It needs a muffler and an idler pulley. After driving around in the rain last night I discovered the windows tend to fog up quite a bit. I know the car had a driver's window problem (that was repaired) so I hope the moisture is due to the car getting wet when the window malfunctioned. I'll just have to drive it regularly and see if it'll get dried out. Hope I don't have to track down a leak.
