Default A Few problems with my accord

i got a 1997 LX 4 cyl. Accord and i got a few problems

1. Temp gauge reads all the way in the red and past it, no matter if engine is cold or hot, when i was driving my a.c worked then it just stoped and then i saw my temp gauge do that.. could this be a b.c of my Thermostat.

2. If my a/c still doesnt work after that what should i look for? i recharged it before and had it working great and it just stoped like i said.

3. My small light fuse keeps blowing so my back lights and clusters lights will not work. I change fuses but it blows everytime i turn my head lights on. I replaced the light switch but still does it, i unplugged all 3 plugs on top of my cluster and the switch that u can turn the **** to put how bright ur cluster goes and it still blows the small light fuse.

other then that the car runs awesome, ran it for 1568 miles (from va beach to austin tx) ran great never over heated.

thanks for all help and suggestions

Check the temp guage sending unit. I'm not eactly sure where it is on your motor but on my H22 its on the passenger side of the block with one wire coming off of it.

I busted mine off on accident and they are very sensitive. Looks like a small O2 sensor sticking out of the block.

In regards to your A/C i would get a leak test before I wasted anymore money of recharging it.
