I have a 1993 Honda accord two door and my tail lights and instrument panel lights don't work. I have checked everything but ive found a fuse for lights under hood keeps blowing and im not sure where to look to fix the fuse problem my husband doesn't know how to fix cars its up to me. need help locating where to look next

 

Which under-hood fuse number keeps blowing? The under-hood fuse box cover should show the fuse numbers.

If the fuse that keeps blowing is related to the "small lights", then there is a short in the circuit. A short is an accidental connection of a wire to ground or to another wire or the short can be a component contacts are shorted.

 

Is it the under-hood Fuse Number 23, a 15A fuse?

 

its the 15 a fuse

 

on the pic u posted its the small light under hood but it says 15a but its in the spot on your pic as 23

 

where do I look on wiring for short I haven't seen any loose wires that would've grounded out

 

That fuse feeds power (+) to the dash lights, taillights, and other small lights when the combination switch (headlight/parking light) is turned on.

The following is a quick test to narrow down a little bit the area where a short may be occurring.

1. At the under-dash interior fuse box, locate the 18P gray electrical connector (Connector C751). Unplugged this connector. (You may have to remove the plastic kick panel cover to access the connector.)
2. Replace the blown under-hood Fuse No. 23 (15A). Turn on the headlights or parking lights. Does the fuse still blow? -- You may need to pick up some extra 15A fuses.

If it doesn't blow, we can rule out the wiring going to the taillights. The short may be then be located somewhere along the circuit for the dimmer control, illumination for the cigarette lighter illumination, sunroof (if equipped), cruise control, heater control panel, hazard switch, glove box, etc.
