your tach light took a dump

 

its hard to say... try replacing the fuse again... it may look good, but could be blown

we put a new fuse in and it still did not work (not the tach but the tail and corner lights and what ever else goes through that fuse.
so any other things it could be???

 

Check all the light on that fuse... It could have shorted out didnt blow the fuse but all the bulbs..

 

Check the illumination wire for the deck. I just fixed that problem on mine, wasn't tape up.

And do a search next time, like I did, took 2 mins to find 15 threads about this subject.

Good luck.

i did not touch the deck?

all the sudden nothing

but sat night the tach light would come on and off

so that makes me think that all the lights on that fuse came on and then off... you know what i mean??

what did you search under???

 

ok did a search for "lights not working"
all the results with the same problem have NO answer

https://honda-tech.com/zero...59195
so what now???

 

this might help clear up some stuff

ok
i wedged the wire for the light on the tach in the fuse

now there is no power going through that fuse so the tach will not light up

so i put the tach in with a nother fuse and now the tach ligh works fine

but every thing going to what i belive is fuse #19 (taillights acc lights and corner lights) does not work

i replaced the fuse with a good working one and still nothing works

that leads me to belive that it is not the fuse

so does any one know what happened???

 

electric probs are the worst, someone help this guy!

My guess based on everything you said is this:

When you plugged the wire into the fuse, you tagged it into side of the fuse that gets the incomming power, not the pin that the fuse protects. What most likely happened is you either blew the fuse that feeds the fuse you were using (which would most likely be in the fusebox under the hood) or you burned up your illumination wire and/or the headlight switch control. First thing you need to do is check all the fuses under the hood and check the other fuses in the fuse box under the dash to make sure there isnt' another fuse that blew.

Check under your hood like already mentioned. You have two fuse boxes. Use a multimeter to check for voltage.

 

finally somthing new i will get on that thanks!!

 

What type of tach are you wiring up? Is it after market or a new gauge cluster?

What im thinking you did (like mentioned) was put it in the wrong part of the fuse. So check under your hood. What i did when i had a aftermarket gauge was wire the it up to the illumination wire. Like just tap into it. That way its still off the fuse.

I tried tapping into the fuse before but i never got it to work so i did it that way. Try that and see if everything works.

 

ok buddy
the tach works fine it is a autometer
i wedged it in with another fuse
OK so i am done with the tach
now every thing on the fuse #19 i think does not work

THIS NO LONGER HAS ANY THING TO DO WITH THE TACH!

but every thing on that fuse that still does not work
the tail, corner, ect.

 

it's not polite to get pissy with people who are trying to help you out. Now try this, according to the helms manual here are some things that may help you out. Under the hood there is another fuse box try checking fuse #40 that is what protects you lights, however it protects all you lights including head lights but you never mentioned them not working so that may not be the cause. Also your light switch is a multi-switch of sorts (controls many things) get a multimeter and check that you have 12 volts getting to it and then turn on the parking lights and see if you have 12 volts coming out. goes in but not out bad switch. if it's not getting there check to see if you have continuity from the underhood fuse box to the switch those wires can and do cook, they don't like working after a good cook off. Also just for the hell of it check #41 it protects more then your lights but it is in the circut. hope that helps

 

does the turn signal have nething to do with the corners?? and my brake lights also work so, could this be the light switch??

we are gonna try this
yea the signal light up and the brakes also work

 

does your cigarette lighter and clock work? If so you have really got something crazy going on, or I am just over thinking. pretty much from start to finish it's battery, wire, fuse 41, wire, fuse 40, wire, combination light switch, wire, fuse 19, wire, cigarette lighter and clock, more wire, and then it grounds out. please let me know or I'll tear my car apart also.
