An interesting experience. 1st I find out my 1987 Accord LXI Hatchback
in one of a handful "just like it". Being one of the last made - they
have a bunch of 1988 "stuff" in them - and you really need a 1988
manual for that "stuff".
As a result - not even the local Honda dealer's 1987 parts system
covers those portions of the car - either.
I'm posting this for others who might have be putting up with that
incessant beep beep beeping - and finding no help in actually fixing
the problem - rather than just disconnecting the beeper (which is
indeed at the rear-view mirror).
Here's what it turned out to be: the second "door switch" in the
driver's door. There is a "door latch" switch in the door jamb - it
has nothing to do with this issue (and was working fine). There is
also a switch in the door locking mechanism inside the door. This is
not documented in any of the 1987 Accord service info - certainly not
on the wiring diagrams, cable routing sheets, etc.
This switch is part of the Automatic Seat Belt retractor tensioning
system - which is really a 1988 "thing" - but as noted - (obviously)
some 1987s wound up with the system as well. The seat belt tension
control "box" is under the passenger seat - and controls the "take-up"
of the seatbelts under certain circumstances. Since extra "stuff" had
to be added to control these automatic belts - Honda also added the
extra seatbelt reminders (upper "console" w/beeper) and the Door Ajar
warning light.
In this case - it was a "sluggish" switch in the internal lock
mechanism that was causing the problem. Oiling the system down
(Hammond Organ light non-gumming oil) fixed the problem.
best to all!

I always tell the dealer or other potential miscreant that I want to see
them on the car.

Name a charity and I'll make it $25. Really.

SRS equipment (ie airbags and detonators) are "supposed" to be
replaced every 10 years. At least that's what the manuals and NHSTA
have to say. So it may not actually be a "failed" unit so much as a
"I (the computer that knows all, sees all) don't trust this anymore"
