Default 97 hx coupe, taillights will not come on

Having an issue with my lights. The tail lights do not come on when i turn my hadlights on. Also, my running lights will no come on, or the side blinkers we installed will not come on. I bought a new headlights switch assemly from honda, but that did not fix the problem. All the fuses seem to be in good shape. Has anyone else had similiar problems?? This jus started messing up.

Have you tried a different fuse anyway?

Are you sure they're getting correct power to the light sockets?

Not really sure where to start, but the bump might help you.

If all the lights are having issues working I'd say you have a bad multi-function switch, but apparently you already replace that with a new one. Are you sure the fuses are good? Sure you didn't short out a wire somewhere? Sure the relays are all functioning properly?

Can someone give me an idea of which fuses to check? Anyone got a diagram or something and can circle the fuses to check.

Search for an online factory service manual or stop being cheap and buy the Hayne's manual from your local parts store. They have all the wiring diagrams in it.

Or just check the FAQ. There is a fuse diagram thread linked in there.

I just noticed that my reverse lights are on all the time too. Any known connection between the 2 problems?
