2001 Honda Civic Problems

[Mchnhead2k5]

So my girlfriend's civic coupe has a couple of problems.

1. The gauge needles don't light up when she turns on her parking lights.
2. The parking lights don't light up BUT the back up lights, brake lights, and side marker lights all do light up.

If it's a fuse which fuse is it for the civic, if not could there be a short somewhere in the wiring under the dash?

Thanks in advance.

Fuse, happened to me a couple of times. If the gauge light don't work then the tail lights don't work when you turn on the headlights.

FUSE

Or all the bulbs are blown

all of the bulbs being blown would be kinda rare

i put in new bulbs for the parking lights. When I look at the fuse diagram it doesn't say instrument panel or tail light fuse, which one is it? Why do Honda's not label their Tail fuses?

if its not under the steering wheel, check to see if its under the hood..

Yeah the two main fuse boxes are under the steering wheel and under the hood. After looking at the fuse manual there is not a fuse listed as the tail or instrument fuse. Which number is the fuse?

they have it wired like that so you know when to fix the fuse or taillight bulb, because you will never notice that your taillight bulbs are out, most cars are like that especially imports.. first person to notice is always the police...lol

check all of the fuses if you have to...

[Mchnhead2k5]

all the fuses. that's gonna suck. especially if I have to bend backwards over the drivers seat to see the fuses.

[JITB]

hey its either that or let honda do it...

trouble shoot it, change the fuse, then bulbs if that fails move to SC and dont worry about it any more

after searching on HondaTech I found it was the 15A Small Lighting Fuse under the Hood.

Good job. I would've told you but my 02' Civic ain't home. My dad left it at my uncle's house.

I blow that fuse at least once every 2 months.
