A fuse issue?

My dashboard lights on my 2001 Accord suddenly went dark along with my rear lights. I changed out the 7.5 amp fuse #9 on the driver side door fuse panel and still no lights. Am I missing something here? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Is this a 4 or 6 cylinder?
Coupe or sedan?

One other question, DX, LX, or EX trim? The tail light circuit differs for EX trim.

On the driver's side fuse box, also check fuse no. 6 (15A).

On the passenger side fuse box, check fuse no. 10 (10A for sedan).

Ok, the LX trim doesn't have a tail light relay in the circuit like the EX. Check the fuses I listed above.

Thank you. I will check these two fusus out tomorrow am. Hopefully I will find a culprit. I'll let you know tomorrow how I fared. Thanks so much for your help.

No problem. I had to ask a few questions, as Honda made the circuits a little different for EX and use a different amperage no. 10 fuse for coupe vs. sedan.

I checked out both fuses that you suggested this am and the 10A on passenger side was burnt out. Installed new fuse and all is well. Thanks a ton for your help.
