Default 96 Civic coupe - Parking lights fuse keeps blowing

96 civic coupe b series

Hey ht i have a problem with my fuse shorting out for my parking lights, corner light, and license plate fuse for some reason as soon as i turn on the switch the fuse goes out. I dont know whats causing this but i really need it fixed so i can drive at night or else my tail lights wont work so someone please help it would be appreciated thanks. Also more info its supposed to be a 7.5 fuse and ive put a 20 fuse when i tried it if i need a 7.5 then ill go buy one but idk if thats whats causing it or not.

Don't install a higher amp fuse. It's a fire hazard and may lead to expensive wire damage.

If you hope to get useful replies, then provide all relevant information about your car and engine:

No but it can cause additional damage.

Did you do any wiring work lately?

7.5A dash fuse 32 is blowing, right?

Fuse 32?

If you unplug the connector to the taillights in the rear, does the fuse stop blowing?
