Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2008Fuse blowing on lighting circuit
The fuse protecting the circuit on the tail lights and dashboard lights keeps blowing. This has happened 5 times now. When I replace the fuse it either blows again straightaway or soon after I drive the car again. The car is a UK spec 2001 1.8 VTEC Sport. Any clues as to the likely cause ?

Start by checking the bulb sockets and grounding of the sockets. > The fuse protecting the circuit on the tail lights and dashboard > lights keeps blowing. This has happened 5 times now.

Maybe you've pinched a wire and it needs a good shake to short to ground? 'Curly' > The fuse protecting the circuit on the tail lights and dashboard > lights keeps blowing.

Packed them with grease and never had the problem again. > The fuse protecting the circuit on the tail lights and dashboard > lights keeps blowing. This has happened 5 times now.
