Im getting ready to buy a 92 prelude. The lights all work except when the car is running. The tail lights wont come on when you turn on the head lights and neither will the dash lights, and the reverse lights stay on all the time. Any suggestions?

A/T OR M/T?

sounds like a faulty or unplugged backup light switch

 

Its a M/T

 

the switch is on the top of the tranny, just underneath the distributor and the rad hose. its round with a rubber boot on top with to wires coming out and butt connectors on the end. I have heard of the "plunger" getting stuck, so you might see if thats the case. maybe you can free it up.

was your fuse blown?

 

Turns out for the tail lights that it was the fuse, thanks. I'm still trying to trouble shoot the reverse lights though. Thanks for the help ill update on the reverse lights
