1992 Honda Civic DX Lighting problems

External Since: Feb 09, 2005 Posts: 1

Recently the fuse that powers the dashboard blew. This seemed to have
caused the tail-lights to stop working, the brake-lights and signal
lights work fine. When the problem first began, I could be in
park/idle and the dashlights would work until I started driving
around, then the fuse would blow. Now though, whenever I flick the
light's on to light the dashboard, the fuse blows. Any ideas?

If you've changed the radio, the 'illumination' wire may be dangling
loose inside your dash. When the vehicle moves, it shorts to ground.
