I have a 96 accord and my fuse for the tail lights continues to blow when I turn on the lights. My signal and brake lights work fine. Please help, this is giving me a headache thanks. fuse is 15

 

I had this problem when I bought this car.
It is very hard (read impossible) to figure out.
A few other guys have also had this problem.
There are a few good intending, smart fellows on this board which will direct you to spend hours and hours tracing circuits to find and correct the problem.
I feel I have the best way to fix it.
It is simple, will take you 10 mins to complete.

Here is the thread I started on this problem.
I also had no dash lights sounds like you just have no taillights.

You will need to run just 1 new wire to correct your problem.

Here is the breakdown


Run a wire from your fusebox in the drivers footwell to the trunk.
cut the red wire with a black stripe you can find that wire behind the taillight bulb access panel on the drivers side.
Connect the wire you ran to that red/black wire
presto - working taillights.

Cost = very little.

If you have a 96 then you also have the taillights on the trunk lid to power up as well.
The last page of the link I gave you explains how I did that.

 

My dash lights are also out.

 

Check the bulbs, they are a dual filament bulb....so if the running light filament is gounding in one of them...bam, fuse goes. Cheap and easy check.

 

thanks poorman212I'll give that a try.

 

I had this same problem...This is how I fixed it
