Alrite..I turn the car on, press on the BRAKES and the corner lights go on and the clock dims and gauges light up.. i turn the lights on..the corner lights dont light up unless i press on the brakes,,,and the gauges dont go on..what is goin on?? somebody has to know..is it a fuse? a short?

 

my little brother has the same problem with his car since he did the swap from the cx gauges to the si set and we cant seem to find out what is causing the problem

 

its all wiring related and you should check all your fuses.
Something is crossed somewhere. wiring problems are the #1 cause of fires in cars so investigate it. use the CRX workshop manual and read up on wiring. And if a fuse keeps blowing, NEVER replace it with a direct wire, that will catch fire.
