Ok, I researched these questions with no luck
Any help provided will b much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

#1 Will 14" hx wheels fit on an 01 EM2? I'm not sure what size the oem wheels are, this is my 1st car newer than 00 so I'm not as familiar with these as EG, EK, DC, etc

#2 When I was driving it home I lost some dash lights. My cluster lights and most of the dash lights just went out on me. I believe I also lost the tail lights. I've been told that this is a common problem with the EM2, and that there is a technical service bulliten on it...anyone know what might be causing it?
Btw, its not the fuse, I pulled the fuse under the hood and it blew 3 more as soon as I turned the lights on...I'm no electrical engineer, but I think I got a short any suggestions?

 

1. I have seen 14" wheels on an EM2, although they weren't Civic HX wheels. They were Integra Starburst wheels, seen here.



Both wheels (HX and Starburst) are 14x5.5" so I would imagine that the HX wheels will fit. I could be wrong, though. It happens.

2. Common? I dunno 'bout that one. I don't see much of it on here, at least.

A short would definitely be the prime suspect considering it keeps blowing the fuse. The fun part will be sourcing it.

Which number (or component) fuse does it keep blowing?? That could possibly help narrow the source.

 

its under the hood in the engine bay, i checked all the fuses under dash n they were fine
i forget exactly which fuse it is under the hood, but it had something to do with the dash/cluster...i will check it when i go out 2 it here in a couple min

thanks!

 

Most all 14's 4x100 will fit on a em2 i had about 4-5 sets of 14's on my car way too small for me.

 

i have a set of 15" slips, but they're in need of tires so i figured the hx's could b my winter wheels
we r still gettin snow here in pa so i thought i'd still use them
as long as they fit we r golden

now i jus gotta find that stupid wiring prob
i'm about 2 jus give it 2 a shop, but who knws how much they'll charge

 

Ya thats your best bet just bring it to a shop and let me determind whats the problem is.

 

yea, i think i'm jus gonna bite the bullet on that 1
didn't knw if any1 else out there had had that prob b4 n could help me in a pinch
i usually try n do as much of my own work as possible, but i'm no electrical engineer n w/out a multimeter finding that short mite b like lookin 4 a needle in a haystack unless its clearly cut n frayed
oh well
thanks 4 all the help guys, much appreciated
now if i can jus find a set of hx wheels that ppl dont want a $400 4, lol!
