does it happen when you press your brakes if so there could be a short in one of your wires.

Sometimes...it hasnt done it in awhile..one ngiht it did it 4 times in a damn row.

Devin, your fuses are popin cause there is too much current passing across them, more than the circut was designed to handle. Most times the cause of this is a shorted out wire (a wire that has had it's casing worn through and is now touching a metal, grounded, part of the car). If this is the scenario the most likely place to start lookin is in the "trunk" of your ride. You already know what circut the problem is on so (I would) trace the wire harness from the tail lights back towards the fuse box. I'll bet you a bong rip that something in the truck (IE: sub-woofer, car jack...ect) is rubbin against the wires when you take like a 2+G horror turn and thats why it does it intermitantly.
The other thing that could cause a circut overload is if someone tapped into the circut to power something (driving lights, poweramp...ect) and now the circut gets too hot, but only if the added load is there while the brake lights/dome light are in use.
I know intermitant probs can suck, hope this helps.

Do you have any aftermarket things installed such as alarm, head unit, or amps? If so who installed it? THis could be the root of your problems.

Hey yes i do have a boost gauge ..a/f gauge hooked up to the fuse box....i have them ran to the single metal peices above all the fuses...is that causing it ?

Hondasaurs

Yea you are probably drawing too much current. Dont switch to a larger fuse either. This could start a fire! What is the make and model of your car? I can get tech sheets from DEI. You sould probably hook it to you accessory wire. Let me know and I'll give you some wireing help to get it done right.

I kept blowing my turn signal and hazard fuse. Come to find out it was the bulbs I used in my corners. Been working fine since I put the right ones in. Check.

here is you wire color codes:

YEAR: 1988 MAKE: Honda MODEL: CRX STYLE:

| ITEM | WIRE COLOR |POL | WIRE LOCATION |
| 12V |white/black | + | ign harness, f/b plug |
| STARTER |black/white | + | ign harness, f/b plug |
| IGNITION |black/yellow | + | ign harness, f/b plug |
| SECOND IGNITION
| ACCESSORY |yellow | + | ign harness, f/b plug |
| SECOND ACCESSORY |blue/white | + |ign harness, f/b plug |
| POWER UNLOCK | | | |
| PARKING LIGHTS + |red/green | |switch harness, f/box |
| PARKING LIGHTS - | | | |
| HEADLIGHTS |red/blue *3 | + |sw harness, f/b plug |
| DOOR TRIGGER |green/red | - |either running brd *2 |
| TRUNK/HATCH PIN |green/black | - |at light or indctr *2 |
| HOOD PIN | | | |
| TACHOMETER |blue | |2-pin at dist, tach *1 |
| BRAKE WIRE |green/white | + |brake pedal switch |
| HORN TRIGGER |blue/red *4 | - |steering column |
| WIPERS | | | |

NOTES:
*1 Pin A11 behind gauges
*2 Harness running down and forward from dash indicator has door and hatch
triggers.
*3 Low beam only. High-current (+)
*4 High-current ground. Use a relay when interfacing with this circuit.

Its kinda jumbuled together but i tried to clean it up. Most of these wires are located under the steering wheel. You will probably want to hook them into the YELLOW ACCESSORY. Just make sure your wires a neat and cleanly tucked away. Also you might want to consider putting an in line fuse (fusable link) to the 12V power supply of each component installed for extra safety.

Chris thats great! What's your source? Can I get one for my car? ??

I ordered a helm manual, but they said it would take like 3 weeks to get here
