From what research i have gathered i've concluded it might be the "SRS" unit??? how do i fix everyything? i put in a new fuse for the taillights and it does not work, instead the fuse blows...CAN ANYONE HELP!?!?!?!?!

 

SRS only relates to airbags. Hence "Safety Restraint system" which is what it stands for. It's not your SRS unit.

 

then whats my problem? am i pinching a wire somewhere???

 

SRS is actually supplemental restraint system...

and it sounds like something is shorted out. Take off your steering column covers and look around there for something out of the ordinary. Are there any problems with the car running?

 

Remove your tail light connectors, if the fuse does not blow then the problem is in the tail light assy. You must have some info since you came up with a list of item affected by this fuse, you will have to disconnect them one at a time till your short goes away.

 

I had the same problem about a month ago. I had it repaired under warranty. I will call the dealer on Monday and find out what they did to fix it.

 

did you check the fuses first? always do the simplest things first before digging into bigger things.

 

Talked to the service manager. He said that there is one fuse that controls all the things you are having problems with. Change it out and problem solved. He also said this is a very common problem in Preludes.
Good Luck

??

That makes zero sense. He said he is blowing the cabin fuse immediately after replacing it which means a short exists in that circuit. How the hell is replacing a fuse that is closer to the battery going to help? It is obviously NOT blown since it is supplying power to the cabin fuse box, right? Now if you're shorting out both your cabin and hood fuses than you have a bigger problem....


1) Get your hands on a multimeter or something that can check continuity.
2) Pull the fuse that keeps blowing on you.
3) Go through and systematially remove one of the affected lights and check for continuity between the ground and the power. Do the same for the horn and the cruise control circuits. You can also test for DC power between the ground wire and another point on the chassis to see if there is a live wire from another circuit , that you not even be thinking of, grounding out.
4) When you find continuity, youve found your problem area. With that fuse pulled out there should be zero continuity between power and ground.

And dont stop even if you find one problem. You may have a short somwhere in the middle affecting more than one light, etc.

May as well check all of your fuses too....you could have an unnoticed problem causing the problem you do notice.
