It's the left (driver's side) headlight assembly on a 91 honda civic hatchback. Does the front bumper need to come off in order to do this. I seem to remember needing to take the bumper off.????

Well, forgive the generic response.. I have done loads of Honda... but not a 2003 Civic...So, here we go..
Open hood. Locate top headline tab. Remove screw that secures tab.
Next, locate nut on backside of headlight assembly - remove it (it should be a round fastener that has a hex nut top.
Headlight should pull away from chassis.
Connecting cable has a lock tab that must be pressed. If you just pull out on the cable assembly - a large, round (2.5 to 3 inches in diameter) water proofing shroud will come out of the headlight assembly - bulb and all. You will still need to remove the cable connector from this assembly.
Install a new headlight assembly in the reverse manner.
1
Locate and remove the power
steering reservoir from behind the driver's side headlight assembly.
Pull straight upward, sliding it off its mount and set aside for access
to the headlight bulb. Make sure you keep it upright so it does not
spill.
Step 2
Locate and remove the electrical connector from the back of the bulb. Depress the locking tab to release it and pull the connector down, removing it from the bulb.
Step 3
Turn
the bulb counterclockwise ¼-turn then pull the bulb straight out of the
headlight assembly. Insert a new bulb into the headlight assembly and
turn it ¼-turn clockwise to lock it in place.
Step 4
Install
the electrical connector by plugging it into the bottom of the bulb.
Push the connector in until the locking tab engages the bulb, securing
it to the bulb.
Step 5
Slide the power steering pump reservoir onto its mount.
You will need something to lift the engine so that you can take the pressure off of the mount. It sounds like your fuel pump may be wearing out and it is not responding like it should...The pump on the gas tank should be located on the top of the tank....Under the back seat....
it is located on driver side left of fusebox on my 91 civic hatchback. You have to look, its not under the dash but under the side portion where the air vent for heat & air cond. is. Held on by metal bracket that is attached to the relay. you may have to stand on your head to see it or remove your lower dash panel portion to get to it. probably have to pull bolt out of bracket first to access the relay. It took me a bit to find mine but thats where it was.
It's been awhile since I've dealt with that particular model, but similiar models that were close to the same year didn't require the removal of the headlight. Access to change the bulb was obtained from the rear of headlight by squeezing clips together and turning at the same time counterclockwise (don't know how much access you'll have though on battery side). After that locking plastic holder is removed (assuming already unplugged b4 turning that is) slightly turn with minimal effort and should come right out.
hey my civic just did the same thing, there was no spark but would still turn over. all it was, was the fuse for the starter cyllanoid, so try that under the steering wheel.
Thank you.
