The other day my instrument lights went out and I couldnt see how fast i was going and my gas/rpm/oil thingy. it was pitch black and i was guessing on my speed. well finally checked my fuse for the instrument lighting and it was blown. so i replaced it with a new one, it worked for like half the day then at night, it blew out again. i replaced it like 3 times, and now im thinking about taking it into the honda shop. want i want, is does anyone has a idea what it could be, like wirings and etc. if so i would appreciate inputs. thanx

It's most obviously a short somewhere, good luck finding it. Have you been messing around with your electrical system lately?

As he started to say, have you changed anything lately? Installed a CD player, speakers, anything having to do with electricity or moving anything around that WAS connected to power? If you have... you messed something up and I suggest you take a look at it before you go messing up other stuff too :bloated:

you prolly got the power lead on the deck to touch the metal brackets under the neath shorting out your systems, tape up your electrical connections.

Honda dealers can kiss my arse then...my wirings are okay, but ill double check them tomorrow, all of them are taped or either sealed by connectors. i dunno whats the problem though, damn sucks, replacing fuses every other day. but ill see. oh some honda workers are kewl, like ricky, works there and probably can hook me up somehow. ill let all you know how it went..

yeah, they'll charge you $75 just to look for it. What a waste.
BTW, don't keep replacing fuses if you don't know what's wrong with it yet. You're gonna end up hurting something. There's a reason there's a fuse in there.

try unhooking the wire that goes to the CD players "light" input, if the problem doesn't go a way ....... then try the const 12V,switched 12V and gnd. Reattach each one if the symptoms do not go away when you disconnect it. That should tell you where to start looking. My guess would be that one of your power wires is hooked to the light switch power.
