98 Electrical issue
I have a 98 Honda Accord that was wrecked about 3 weeks ago. By insurance standards it would have been totalled however with a couple parts form the junk yard it is running like it was pre accident for under 2400$. Car hit a curb doing about 20mph. Extensive underbody damage, tweaked the body it is now kinked up by the moonrook so it doesnt open anymore. The door frame is a little out of wack but with a little force the door shuts. Fender caved in, bumper was broken. All fixed car looks like it did when it was brand new.
So here is the issue, I brought up the accident because I figured it may have something to do with it, Two days ago the dash lights(illumination of speedo,rpm,fuel,clock,and radio) flickered on and off a few times. THen they cut out and haven't come back on since.
Then today the same thing happened but with the taillights. Flickered a couple times then cut out. Brake lights and Reverse lights work
I checked all fuses in the three main fuse blocks(Engine Compartment,Drivers side and passenger side dash) ALl of the fuses lit up with my test light, I played with the relays underhood by swapping them all around until I was satisfied that they were all working.
Is there a fuse block I am missing? I didn't notcie any fuse locations specifically labeled for dash or taillights. Although a couple I did check were combination fuses(Illumination + Reverse lights) All of the other dash lights(example: abs, srs, door ajar, electronic mileage gauge)work
DO you guys know the specific fuses that would be effected? I have minor knowledge in this area and anywhere I seem to look keeps bringing me back to the ICU, however the only related issue is the dash lights.
I could really use some help before I have to spend a fortune at a shop for electrical diagnostics(that or I am just overlooking something)
