Backlight & Instrument light fuse problem!

I keep replacing my fuse for the back/instrument light, but it keeps burning out. What can be the problem? I replaced them with a 10a, 25a, 15a fuses and they all burnt out. Is there some kind of common electrical problem that i can fix?

Oh yeah i have a Civic 94 LX

If you keep blowing fuses chances are you may have a short. Pull the cluster and check the bulbs.

My friend John had all sorts of problems with fuses blowing. Upon investigation it was just a short in the system. Check it out real good.

Re: (dc231)

you are not helping by putting a higher rating of fuse, if you put a big enough fuse in it, sure it would blow, it just allowing whatever in the system to fry up.

yeah, pull it out and check for short or bad contact points
