It doesnt even mention the tail lights
So i have no clue what is wrong

did you check the bulbs? connection? ground? fuse?

Yeah i checked everything
The only thing i think it might be is that
There is a sensor like deal in the encloser with my shifter and its making a clicking sound that i have never noticed.
Im thinkg that could be it but i have no clue what it is even called any ideas?

I hope someone might cause it is irrating me
This car has been acting wierd since i moved to missouri
In Oklahoma i had no probs
Except for when my water pump went out
Other then that nothing was worng now
Its got the tail light prob
Idling rough
Not wanting to crank right(think its due to the cold weather)
Sometimes after sitting for a day or two wont start period
Its just irritating me
Im hopefully either gonna drop a newer engine and tranny or just sell it
Im hoping to just get the money and drop another engine

the housing that hold the bulb could be sticking out causing it not to have any contact with the electrical current. there for it won't light up. I had this problem with a nissan pick up I had. all i did was push the housing that holds the bulb in and it worked for me....I hope this helps

does it drive fine?
does the battery die when you let it sit?

Brake light lamp deal is not a biggie. Alot of cars do it and i have had the problem alot, never got it to stop so i just put black electric tape over the cluster where that was.

Id suggest checking for shorts in taillight wires,getting a new strong starter,seafoam your car,and do a tune up.[plugs,wires,oil change,etc] Not gonna get any better without doing some process of elimination

Yeah i had the battery checked today gotta get a new one soon
Now though the tail lights are fine
So i will hope it stays like that

Check to see if the e-brake is all the way down. if it is then you may need to ajust the sensor under the e-brake handle. If you have fluid and no problems with the breaks then it is something electrical and not mechnical.

Also for your brake like issue check where the petel contacts the swich on the petel assy.

as for the manual transmission swap just do a bseries swap any b seires swap would be better than the 89 accord motor

I think the motor mounts for a b series motor for an 89 accord are only 350 dollars.
