Hi guys,

So I have a 1998 Accord EX. About a week ago I noticed the dash lights weren't turning on, and then the local police informed me that my tail lights weren't working either. I went home and checked the fuses. In the passenger side fuse box (cant remember the name of the fuse right now), a fuse was blown. Replaced it again, POP. Looked at all visible wires I could, cant find short. Might be unrelated but the day before the lights stopped working, I smelt a burnt smell. I pulled over to look for problem, couldn't find one, and then the smell went away so I assumed it was from a person I was following.

I have an aftermarket radio installed by the previous owner. Also could be unrelated, but the lights on the face go on and off randomly. It has always done that though.

Please help!

 

It's a shorted light bulb.
Disconnect all the tail lamp bulbs at the plugs/clips and turn the lights on. Replace the fuse and begin connecting the clips one at a time until the fuse blows. Then you'll know which bulb shorted. Remember the third brake light bulb, I bet that's the one that failed.

 

okay thanks I will try this immediately!

 

Did you ever get this problem resolved. I am going through the same thing.

 

I'm having the same problem did you get this resolved?
