Default K20 Crx Headlights Won't Come On

The headlights, turnsignals, and wipers don't work on my crx. I just got it running with a K20 and hybrid harness. The 4 way flashers and brake lights work fine. There is a 10 pin under dash connector with a green plug that doesn't seem to plug in anywhere but both connectors from the steering column are connected. I already checked the under dash fuses. Any ideas? Thanks

Do you remember which under hood fuse it was? I'll get a pic of the connector probably tomorrow. I made a build thread for my carb'd Ls1 Miata and got tired of all the haters so that's what deterred me from making one for the rex. Maybe I'll put up pics though when everything is done. Thanks for the help

The fuse cover has a diagram of what every fuse does.

You can swap a k but you can't check a fuse?

Also, you might wanna look into why the fuse blew in the first place if that does turn out to be the problem.

Before I made this thread I went through and checked every single fuse in the under dash and under hood fuse boxes. Yes the box has a vague diagram that outlines the basic functions of each fuse but some fuses control things other then what they're marked s doing. As an example if I recall correctly the #14 under dash "10a alternator solenoid valve" fuse has some control over an ecu function. I checked the fuse marked "lights" again in the under hood box but it's still good.

Did you just look at the fuse, or did you pull it out and examine it?

Also, you have to give more information on the car, obviously it's not stock.
No one can help you because no one knows what you've done to your car.

Did you re wire the headlights during the swap? did you do a tuck? in what way have you modified the harness or any electrical in the car.

When I say check a fuse I mean remove it, hook one end up to negative, attach a test light from the other end to positive and see if power goes through it (test light illuminates). I did this with every fuse. All the wiring is stock except for the hybrid harness. I haven't done a wire tuck yet

Pic of your under dash fuse box and "green plug that doesn't seem to plug in anywhere"?

It's most likely that plug. Most of everything HAS to be plugged up somewhere.

Did you check the back of the fuse box? There are plugs that go back there aswell.
