Hello Posted on Apr 17, 2012

How can I figure out why fuse 15A keeps blowing? My dashboard lights don't work nor do the back lights. My breaks and signals work but at night when I turn the car on the regular lights in the back don't turn on nor the dashboard. I tried changing the fuse but once I turn on the lights it blows the fuse right away. I tried to check the only circuit my boyfriend was working on and it still won't work. Please help !

There is a shorted wire somewhere in that circuit. Check to see if any wires are pinched under a bracket or brace where he was working. I have seen it where it was a light bulb the was bad. Need someone familiar with a volt/ohm meter to help trace problem. Good Luck. You did not state where he had been working.

you have a short somewhere in the lighting system. have a look around where you removed the wiring for the spot lights and see if there is any wires exposed if so tape them up and check if it blows again. as far as the reverse light is concerned you may have a fulty reverse switch.

SOURCE: 1989 honda accord headlight fuse blows as soon as replaced

you more than likely have a shorted wire in the headlight harness... you will have to check the wiring from the headlight bulbs to see if it has been pinched up against a sharp metal edge causing a grounded wire, or maybe the harness was crushed by an improper headlight installation.

SOURCE: 2004 Honda Accord Radio fuse blows

There was a recall for the 03-04 Accord radio. It had faulty circuitry that caused the screen to go dim. Check with Honda to see if they'll still honor the recall.

My dashboard light isn't working but my turn signal light, emergency break light and all other warning lights work, just not the backlight so I can see the speed i am travelling in the dark.

Did you try turning the wheel/knob next to the head light switch? It's the dimmer for your interior lights. Sometimes that happens and some ppl don't know about it. Not sure how familiar you are with it so thought I'd throw that out there.

Signal lights don't work

Soudn like a problem with the turn signal FLASHER go to bad. Check location under the drivers side of the dashboard, look for a round silver disc that has prongs on the back .It is attached to the fuse panel and it is directly above the brake pedal mounted to the right of the steering column.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
