i just recently bought a honda accord 1997. My dash board back light turned off when i turned on my brights now they wont go back on. i then mins. later got pulled over because my back break lights werent working. any advice would be helpful

 

check fuses. sounds like either the fuse was too small or someone rigged the wiring.

i would buy a Haynes manual for the car then go over the wiring diagrams and verify if anyone has rewired parts of the car.
