having a wiring problem, i think, pulled into cici's pizza to grab a bite earlier tonight, had my food, came out, turned on my lights and i had no instrument or taillights, they worked fine before i went in.. put in a new fuse and it poped as soon as i turned the lights on again.. has anyone had a problem like this? if so does anyone have any good ways of diagnosing the problem? thanks!

 

That's what happens when you go to cici's pizza.... Fuse's pop as a warning to your stomach :-P

But no really... I am kinda wondering the same thing. I bought my ef with the blinkers not working, and all it was, was the fuse. So I am looked around the sockets and didn't see any exposed wire or anything like that.

 

hey i got the same issue. everytime i put a fuse for my heater it keeps poppin and i dont know why it does that it use to work fine can someone help us out

 

You have a wire grounding out somewhere. You'll have to trace your wiring to find where it is grounding.

The best place to start is any recent wiring 'improvements' you've made.

 

its crazy because i havent even done any wiring its just started out of no where

 

I just put a bigger fuse and it works

 

i tried a 30 amp fuse and it blows that like nothing i aint got no heater working

 

Then there's probably exposed wire

 

so do you think it a wire that gots to do with the heater, because thats the only fuse that blows all other fuse are good

 

Just check all the wires that go to the heater and make sure none are exposed.even anything touches exposed wire it will blow your fuse

 

Don't do this.

 

Lol i mean if you messed wit the wired and added somethin put a bigger fuse

 

If you add something else into the wiring circuit, you're increasing the load on the current wires. So unless you up the gauge of the existing wires, don't put a larger fuse in the standard circuit or you'll fry the wires before you blow the fuse.

 

right.. well ill start the search for a bad wire.. crap

 

oh dang i put bigger fuse for everything, imma look through my wires tomorrow to see if anything is causing me to ground

 

*waits for "my civic caught fire and i don't know why" thread*

 

check your tail and brake light bulbs, sometimes when they get old the two knubs on the bulbs themselves fuse together and ground out.
