Default Electrical gremlins

Heyy guys, have a few issues w/ my 05 type s:

Rear lights are out but brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights work
Climate control temperature gradient, fan speed does not light up either..


Which lights are supposed to turn on when the headlights are flipped on??


I've checked all the fuses and im pretty sure bulbs aren't out


is there a specific fuse i should replace?

CEL lights are only for engine sensors.......


I would check the grounds in the rear for your taillights. As for your climate control which bulbs? Or is the whole thing out?

Dave, Where's your sense of humor?...We all make useless posts from time to time...don't take it so seriously. By the way, where have you been?...it's been like a whole 3 days since you've quoted one of my posts!...losing your touch or becoming apathetic?...which is it?

BTW: Humor is a good way to ease tension...when problems arise with our cars, what does it cause?...often times stress, and tension...the title of this thread is "electrical gremlins" and in the movie "gremlins" there is a little creature named gizmo...so I figured I put that on here for a laugh...so really, my post was not useless, in the tech aspect yes, but in other aspects, no...and on these forums, when people post useless things, i'd much rather it be something clever, humorous, or at least relevant...rather than bump bump bump like the typical person does. So ease up...I mean I know the internet is serious business and all...and I know that you have NEVER EVER posted any useless things on here EVER so after all, you should definitely be the one telling me not to do such things.

^^ Wow stop being such a leg-humper dude.

Do your headlights work? If your tail light bulbs and climate control don't light up, you probably burnt out the fuse for your headlights. Check the under hood fuse box (and relays) as well as the under-dash fuse box for this exact fuse.

I guess you must not pick up on things very well...I was clearly being sarcastic...I can't beleive it's not obvious enough for you.

Is there water floating in you tailights ?

Some RSX's have water infiltration in the tailights, water touches the bulb burns it out
and the fuse also.

Maybe the wiring came loose or became faulty. W/e it is I hope you get it fixed, goodluck!


As for WDG_729_ITR, since you have been a member of H-T, you have been making useless/pointless posts. You also continue to double even triple post. You are either one very immature **** or you have no life and spend every waking moment randomly posting in as many H-T threads as you can in one day. QUIT!!!!
