Recently my 10 amp gauge cluster light/rear lights/corner lights fuse blows out evry time i turn on the headlights. I dont get it. Out of nowhere. What should i look for? ANyone have a good wiring digram i could follow?

 

It's shorted somewhere. Check ALL your wiring.Good luck finding it. Sorry I couldn't help more

 

Could someone post a diagram i could follow. I AM STUMPED!!!!!!

 

well it's gotta be somewhere in the headlight switch or the wiring (to headlights, tail lights, turn signals) any front end damage or rear end damage lately, that's the first place i'd look.... check wires to fuse box make sure there all tight and properly seated, make sure there's no exposed wire near metal parts, grommits ect.....but yea it's in the headlight circuit somewhere or parking light circuit, start there.... as for a diagram.......... sorry.

 

Ive visually checked everything, it looks ok. If i just knew which wires to check i could find the shorted one.

 

maybe theres some water in a bulb socket somewhere in the headlights/bumperlights/corners.

 

i have a 91 hatch Std and the exact same thing happened to me it was because my radio wasnt wired correctly , check your radio connection did u just put a head unit in?

 

easy answer,,, Go in back of ur deck.. red/black wire.. .. tape that up.. Did you replace ur stereo recently or cut the wires back there? That could be the prob... so check the wire i just said. usually that is the prob.. good luck

 

I JUST installed a stereo. You guys are awesome, gonna check the wiring real quick, BRB

 

I looked at the stereo wiring, its clean, but the fuse didnt blow when i diconected the stereo harness. That red/black wire u guys are talking about, i assumed it was ground cause resistance from that wire to chassis was 0, so i guess ill just ground it to the chassis and tape that bad boy up. Wtf is that wire all about anyway?

 

THe same thing had happened to me awhile back. Kept on blowing fuse like there was no tomorrow. But it ended up being the stereo wiring being loose and grounding itself. It melted my wires from the CD deck to my guage cluster.

I had to rewire/replace the ones melted together. It sucked hardcore.

Hope that helps.

 

I think i fixed it guys. Disconnected the red/black wire, taped it up, grounded the stereo to the chassis, replaced the fuse and it didnt blow this time. whew, lets hope it holds. Thanx for the help, I love Honda-tech, u ladies are the best!!

 

HAHAHAH i knew it.. that is a dimmer/illumniation wire for the deck


orange on the deck harness. but not necessary

 

Fixed the same problem on my friends 99 Accord the other day. LOL
