I have a 1991 Civic CX Hatchback. I keep blowing the main light relay under the good. No headlights, taillights, park lights or dashlights but still manage to have brake lights. The lights are still factory, no upgrades. Anyone know where the best place to look or any possible common issues that might cause this. i dont know much about troubleshooting electrical and i cant afford a shop to do it. Any help would be appreciated

 

I have came to find out the wipers dont work either :S

 

i had that happen to me in my ef and it was a open wire

 

sry mine was an open wire for the tail lights, and the brakes lights will still work cuz they r on a diff setup

 

Would that still effect the headlights and park lights? i dont know if the wipers not working is related or not

 

yea i would check ur wire up front cuz i think ur headlight and parking light run together so if there is a short sum where it prob goin to be up there

 

sounds like one of the grounds is shorting out near the lights just check for any open wire near the lights or taillights, are the blinkers also going out? i had this issue with my car and it was one of the grounded blocks on the side of the engine bay upfront, and an open wire on one of the headlights

 

Blinkers and brake lights both work. ill check the grounds and wiring up front first and let you know

 

turns out the short is somewhere between the wiper motor and the relay. apparently the wipers and lights are tied into the same circuit lol
