I need help with a SHORT
How's it going everybody, I have a 93 honda civic Cx and I ve never had any problems til now. I keep changing the 10a fuse for the back lights and the fuse keeps blowing up, so i'm guessing I have a short. Can anybody tell me what color is the power wire that goes to the back lights. I have a wiring diagram, but I dont know how to read it.

The radio, dimmer switch, gauge cluster, climate controll and parking lights all run off of that fuse, as well as the rear tails. Does the fuse blow when you press the brakes onwhen you put the parking lights on?
Did you mess with any of them? Install a new headunit without grounding it properly?

I did install some offbrand twitters in the side speakers and yeah I do see the black wire. Sould I have any power going to the back since the fuse is out.

Yeah, it s the parking lights, license light, and the gauge cluster. Everytime I change the fuse and turn on the switch, it'll just blow up.

I'm not 100% sure about electrical stuff but I'm assuming since the fuse is blown that there should either be no power or not enough power to light them. I'm leaning with no power though.
I would definitely check the ground on the radio, if that's what you messed with putting the tweeters in.
