Hey my names shane, I'm new to the site obviousely. I own a 98 integra ls, and my first integra, which I've always wanted. Currently I only have three mods: Intake, full exhaust, and rear coil overs bought the car that way. I'll have pix posted some time soon.



Any way since Ive had the car I have been noticing small yet very important parts going bad and my recent one has been my tailights and cluster gauge not lighting up. I have done just about everything you can think of that would be the problem except checking if the wiring is done correctly, however, I am a newb and have little experience Im not gonna screw with things. So far I've checked the fuses and even replaced them. nothing!!! I then replaced the headlight switch because a few people have told me its what caused their cars lights and cluster lights not to work, (side note: its not all my lights in my tail lights that don't light up just the night lights that come on when the switch is turned on). My headlights work just fine also. I'm getting very frustrated with this problem because my work requires me to drive at night and I cant drive my car any other time at night. So If any one has any info it would be appreciated thanx.

Are the bulbs just bad?

 

[L_Acura_S]

No I replaced them too. I'm stumpted

 

[L_Acura_S]

would anyone be willing to take a pic of what the wiring should look like?

Yeah, wish i could be more of assistance, but i know pretty much nothing about cars besides replacing the bulbs. Was the car inspected when you bought it? (depending on where you live i don't know if you need it to be inspected.)

the only time thats every happened to me is when my headunits wiring was touching. it blew a fuse, which made my gauge lights and tailights go out. so make sure your headunit, especially if its an aftermarket one, wiring is all good.

Ok thanx

wiring should be good if the car has gagues and what not. but even that is straight forward install. check the fuses

Welcome to CI! What intake, exhaust, and coilovers do you have? There must be a fuse preventing the lights from working.

i think it' a rusty connector somwhere. i had a similar problem like that before.

 

[L_Acura_S]

any other fuses that can cause that to happen. and I dont have a pic of a diagram i used one off the internet. And I didnt put tthe parts on the car so i check it out as well. Could it also be a relay.

 

[L_Acura_S]

ok so i took a pictures of my fuses the wiring under the dash, and the wiring thats comes from the plugs that hook into the headlight switch. Plz lemme know if they dont look right

 

[cooki3monstr]

we cant really tell if your fuses are good or bad by taking a picture of them. the only way to really tell is to take them out...

refer back to that diagram, and pull the "Tail Light, Instrument Light, License" Fuse out, and see if its fried.

 

[L_Acura_S]

thats not why i took them i was wondering if you see them bein in the correct order with the correct amp.
sorry for the crappy pic. Also my car has three rows how can that be right it only has two?

Its a fuse. I think its the 10A "tail light, instrument light, license light" fuse. This happened to me after a headunit install on the road at night :shock:. lol. But yea its a fuse. Go back and check your remote wire, that was my culprit.
