sorry, i'm new to this forum, but i was wondering if someone could help.

first i have 04 honda accord sedan

i was trying to install a neon light in my glove box. i took out the bulb and tried wiring the light to it... but i lost grip and it shorted. i figured i blew a fuse somewhere, but i can't find it. the headlights turn on but all the instrumental dimming features do not work with the headlights, nor does the lights flash when i turn on/off my alarm.

any ideas? thanks...

 

Well hopefully you learned your lesson on ricing out your car.... Check all your fuses it is for sure one of those. Just remember one more thing SAY NO TO RICE

 

there's three fuse box in 6th gen accord, i think at least you could do is find all the location of the box.

yep, it's in your manual

 

Yes: SAY NO TO RICE (not the kind that we eat) lol
Now try to start your engine?
Now try to shift from “P” to “D”
You can’t right? Good
This means you blew your Driver’s Side Fuse #9 go replace that with 7.5A fuse (function of this fuse is Instrument Panel, Back-Up Lights)

When you count your fuse count from the bottom:
13 11
12 10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1

After you blow this fuse, you may also get Check Engine warning, you know that you didn’t do anything wrong so simply remove negative cable from the battery and wait few second and reconnect.

Now don’t try to install that neon lights, you may give it to me

uj what do you want with that ol neon light anyway?? dont do it just throw it away and never speak of it again!

 

No I was just kidding; I don’t like all those lights, in my car

 

i have a manual. and that fuse wasn't blown. i replaced it because thats the one i thought it was too... but i didn't alleviate the problem. any other suggestions?

 

get a fuse tester. just because the fuse looks ok. does not mean its ok.
check underhood fuse boxes too.
