Monday night I took the family for a ride in our 94 Accord LX because
it was about to turn 200k miles. Very ironically, at 199,997 the
instrument panel fuse blew and we didn't get to watch it flip all
those 9's to 0's. I easily replaced the fuse and thought all was good.
Then this morning it blew again. It seems to blow when I turn the head
lights on and off and/or flip the brights on and off. This is strange
beacuse the headlights are on a completely different circuit.

Has anyone out there had a similar problem? Is the problem worse than
an old cheap replacement fuse? Do you think I might have a short
somewhere? Could this be indicative of needing a new alternator?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan
