I drive a 92 Civic DX. So here's my problem...the other day I went to turn on my lights and only my head lights came on. My dash lights, parking lights, tail lights, and license plate lights didn't come on. So I checked my fuses and the 10 amp fuse was blown. So i replaced the fuse with another 10 amp fuse and it blew right away. I tried a 20 amp fuse and it blew the second I turned it on. I haven't messed with anything electrical lately and now i can't drive my car at night. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you have a wire pinched somewhere and its shorting straight to ground.

even if all you have done is change a bulb recently, go back and make sure the wires are still ok. make sure you don't have any wires hanging where there not supposed to(near your headlights), one may have been cut.

anyone got any advice on how to find the short/relay/fucked wire? My goddamn dog went in my shop and bit the marker bulb wiring on my old civic. And the first time I turned on the lights the fuse blew. I spent the better part of my saturday finding it. So you never know what could of happened
