check the fuses under your dash!

If you look at the resourse sticky in the Civic section, it will have the diagram for you so u know exactly which fuse to check!

*edit.. heres the link

Ok, so i checked out the fusebox, cause the damn thing didnt have a diagram on the fusebox cover, i found the dashlight fuse, and it was busted. so i put in a new one and as soon as i turn on the parking lights it blows, i went thru 3 fuses. Does anyone out there know what my problem is? my taillight fuse was fine, not blown, but still dont work. thanks

check to see if water got in there and is still in there! try your bulbs start at the easy point first. you started at the fuse box, so now you now its somewhere in between the panel and the light? maybe the boot wasnt on correctly before? do you have a mulitmeter? if so start checking your plugs to ground if you ohms are less then one mega ohm/ or you have continuity then you prolly have a gound somewhere!!

This car did go thru a huge puddle and suck up water. I installed a new motor and everything went fine for a few weeks then all of the sudden no lights. has anybody heard anything about it maybe being a multiplex unit? thanks guys
