Help! Fuse keeps blowing.
My brother has a 1997 Integra LS. For some reason he hit a bump a couple of days ago and the fuse kept blowing since on the instrument panel, tail light, and license plate light. This is the 10A fuse located on #12 in the interior fuse box.
I checked all the bulbs and found out one of them was blown. I replaced it and rechecked. Everything was fine for 1 day and the fuse started blowing again. I just checked all the bulbs and connections today. Everything seems to be in good shape. I was hoping somebody here had the same problem and can give me some input on where to start troubleshooting. Thanks.

it's most likely a ground issue..
when you hit that bump it probably shook the wiring in the rear, thus shaking a ground....
check your grounding in instrument panel, tail light, and license plate light area, i'm pretty sure this is the case
hoped that helped :thumbup:

Check all the wiring behind the deck (stereo) I have had this happen and it pissed me off for a good 2 weeks straight
Turns out there is some sharp metal supports behind where the CD player / radio is and one of the wires was rubbing up against it and wore off all of the rubber insulation. And every time I hit a bump or shap turn the wire would touch the metal piece and short out the fuse. I suggest you do that because I had the exact same thing happening to me and it drove me nuts I still to thins day cant believe that I ended up finding it there.
