HELP! parking lights dont work but signal does.93 ex
ok so today i installed my jdm sidemarkers. i spliced the red wire and black wire on the corner sockets and connected on my sidemarkers. well for some reason at first i connected them properly but the sidemarkers only stayed on but wouldnt blink. then i went to the store and came back and my parking lights wouldnt work but they would still blink when i signal or use the hazard lights. could it be a fuse popped because i didnt tape the connection of the wires? i used plain old speaker wires. since then i disconnected the sidemarkers and just connected the corners like how they were from the factory. they still dont work but there is power going to the corner lights because it works when i signal. if it a fuse or somethhing else i can check? btw car is a 93 civic ex. check the fuse box and under the steering column but not sure which fuse to replace. thanks any help will help. if you had this problem before help me out. thanks guys.. please dont say search because i did and i cant find one that matches my problem..

Re: (cambosoup)
sounds like you blew the fuse for tail/ instrument lights. Its in the under dash fuse box. Not sure what number it is just pull each one and check it. Oh do yourself a favor get someone that knows how to do auto wiring correctly and not your buddy that uses electrical tape to cover up the splice.

Re: (cambosoup)
prolly just a fuse bro. There should be a graph of your fuse locations in your Honda Manual.
Otherwise its just a bad connection from your E-light switch to your bulb itself.
