Default 2000 Si electrical problems

I have a 2000 civic si and it keepsblowing my tail light fuses and it just started blowing my turn signal fuses also. I changed the fuses and i saw a bright flash underneath the dash by the pedals. Didnt know if this was a common problem or if anyone has ran into the same problem. I really need some help thanks

No bright flashes from beneath your dash is not common. You have a short somewhere. You'll have to track it down. Probably where ever you saw that flash from.

Sounds like you have a bare wire either touching another bare wire or shorting out into metal. Probably in the area of the flash. Flashlight and back pain time!

Wet or otherwise corroded tail light wiring harness (at the tail-light itself)

i talked to a few people and they said it was the fuses blowing at the same time which caused the flash...so i will check the tailight harness that could be it
