Hey Fellow Integra owners

It all started when i recieved my car back from an alarm install. I didn't notice anythingwhen i was taking the car home. at the time so i took the car and hope to replace the taillight gaskets. So i took the taillights out and let them dry overnight to get the moisture out. I finished replacing the taillight gasket. The next day i took the car around, when ever i signaled right and braked, the light would flicker hella fast. When i release it would stop. OK i thought i could fix it so i wasn't tripping cuz i thought it was the bulb. So i decided to do an Air/Fuel gauge. I pretty much did everything OK and wired the power to the fuse box. That night when i drove the car around. when i would brake the right signal would light up slightly and my pass brake light would dim. So i drove it around some more to figure it out. If i signaled without braking it would flicker hella fast and when i brake it would dim and not flicker at all.

I checked the fuse box for blown fuses , all the bulbs and made sure the grounds was ok ( like the tailight and the corner lights). I did notice though some either rust or greenish rust on one of the tailight harness but tried to scrap it off and still nothing.

A couple days before that my reverse lights went out too but found out its not the car but comming from the tranny ? i checked the wiring so everything pass the harness is ok on the car.

I checked under the fuse box to see if anything was wrong and i noticed this

i think the guy put a wire to the flashing lights part , can it be used ? and for my air fuel i used the Accesory one to power my gauge.


I really need my car to work soon for work so any tips would help ,

Thanks BomBoi

 

It sounds like the contact pad inside the bulb socket turned and is not making contact with the correct points on the bulbs. Check that out.

 

OK i'll give that a shot i just got out of work and will look at it soon

checked that out and its not it =/

 

you just basically stated where your problem started..... after you got the alarm installed. I'd have that checked out first since they may have wired something incorrectly.

 

Hrmmm, ok ill give that a shot , i also did the tail light gaskets too so i dunno

 

not tryin to be sarcastic, but I don't think the taillight gaskets ( those foam things ) have anything to do with how you're lights are operating....unless theres like a lot of moisture in and around the harness because its not sealing correctly.

 

try checking the wires on the tail light under the foam. mabey a wire got pinched when you tighten down the tail light to your car? if that's not it i would have the person that installed you alarm double check everything and make sure everything was connected properly and if any wires were accidentally cut or spliced in the process.

 

Hrmmm for some reason it works now, and i didn't even do anything to it . Well i guess ill leave it be til it messes up agian , lol thanks H T
