Eletronic problems-- VERY URGENT!!
Well, today I was changing my oil and I ran into a few problems.
1) My turn signals are messed up. My right one works ok, except it stays lit(on the guage cluster and in the tailights) when I turn the corner lights/headlights on. Also, sometimes it will work ok, but the rear license plate lights flash with it.
2) My left side, only the rear blinker works, but it does it in "hyper" mode. And the front corner light doesn't blink at all...only the rear tailight.
Anyway, I was working on trying get this somewhat straightened out, and I noticed that my "check engine" light was on. So I check the wires and found out that a couple of them had been disconnected somewhere along the line. So I re-wired it and the "check engine" light doesn't come on!
To make this short, while my friend was playing around with the right turn signal, he seemed to have blown a fuse. Now, the tach, speedo, gas gauge, temp guage, milage gauge etc.... DO NOT WORK. I checked all the fuses and replaced all the ones that seemed to relate to turn signals/gauge cluster etc....NOTHING worked.
What should I do? I need the car for work on Mon, so I'm hoping its a easy fix. I've had this happen once before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it.
HELP!
Thanks,
Spike
P.S. Sorry is this is somewhat confusing. I'm VERY tired and coming off a week full of 14 hour work days.

sounds like your front left bulb is just blown (for that single problem).
as for the stuff not working, that's either something not plugged in, or a fuse. Have you checked the fuses under the hood? They're on the passenger's side, right up against the firewall (in case you don't know). Check the relays too just in case.
The right side is a whole other matter.... you should really think about having it looked at by a professional if you're not good with electronics/wiring. There's something seriously wrong there.
hih

Hey WCS,
Ok. I'll replace all the bulbs so it can't be a bulb. Hopefully that will take care of the left side.
Right side...well, should I just take it in to Honda and have them look at it? Is there some nationwide shop I should take it to thats good with electronics?
Thanks!
