My small light fuse which is a 15amp fuse keeps popping on me. i have checked all the other fuses replaced a few shady ones I Checked all the wiring underneath and repaired some of the connections that were bad. I am totally stumped. Everything was working just fine the other day and now its all messed up/ What else could be wrong?? Should i try replacing the light relay, or just give up and take the car in to the shop. Please help asap because I cant drive at night.

 

try putting a bigger fuse

 

does the fuse pop at certain times? we need more info then that, try to tell us when it pops or if it just pops when turned on. Does it pop going up hills down hills in cold weather what? Also is this fuse hooked up to more than one thing? and check to see if that is the right size fuse? you could have a bad ground or a paracitical draw somewhere in that part of the electrical system.

Yeah, that's real safe....

You obviously have a short somewhere as I'm sure you're already aware...unfortunately you have to find it in order to solve the problem....listening to the above person will simply up the risk of a fire starting...

 

What year is your accord and if its an earlier year have you switched to halogen headlamps?

He has a 97 accord and he dosen't have halogen headlamps.

 

K... sometimes when people put halogens in older accords the circuit cannot handle the extra draw. Well, I'm back to the drawing board......

i dont think headlights and small lights would affect each other

 

What happens is when I turn my lights on ht fuse for the small lights(which runs the tail lights and dash lights pops) I allready took it to one shop and they told me they couldnt find or fix the problem looks like its off to honda for me.

 

I had this happen on a non-Honda car I used to own. A shop did an electrical trace for me and found a frayed wire that was making contact with metal.
