so i have a 97 2.2 CL. my break lamp warning light is on. the wierd thing is, when i replaced the bulbs, the old ones appeard to be fine. 1 break lamp will work, if i take the bulb out of the working side, the other side will start to work. My turned signals are also dead, my hazard lights are working just fine. If anybody's got any ideas...

check your fuses

jackedmscl

i checked the fuses in the engine compartment and the driver side kick plate man, they're all good

bkmc24

hmmm are all the fixtures wired well and no like wires hangin out and stuff?

bkmc24

and did you buy the right bulbs and put the right ones in the right holes?

jackedmscl

yeah they look in good shape, i tested the wires and they break lamp wire gets power, itss just fucked like i said earlier, the turn signal wire is dead though

bkmc24

maybe since your wires dead, power is surging everywhere else and its fucking shit up, other than something like that ive got no clue

jackedmscl

yeah the bulbs work man, just as long as only 1 is in at a time, if both are in, only 1 side will light up, but both sides will work if only 1 is in (if u change which side its in) ie. the drivers side work works if thier is ONLY a bulb in the drivers sdie, and the pasenger side works only if thier is a bulb in the pasenger side

bkmc24

hmm well someone else may know but i dont lol sorry

jackedmscl

shit, i really dont want to take it to acura haha. i dont feel like payin some dude 300 bucks an hr to diagnose this. do u know if thier is another fuse box somwhere?

bkmc24

well theres only two i know of engine and passenger floorboard im thinking its your wiring but hey idk maybe you can take it to like napa or advance and have them look at it

jackedmscl

could be, i guess tommorow i'll trace the wires outta the break light switch n see if i can find if its the wires

jackedmscl

okay so i fixed the break thing, it was a bad connection on one of the feeds. Now for the turn signals. The flasher is working (i suppose since the hazard light works). Since my fuses are good, could the relay for the turn signals have gone back?

ajtcl

you may have a bad multi-combo switch. Are you hard on your turn signal switch. You may still need to take it to ACURA. Replacing that swtch requires that you remove the steering wheel. Check it out. Good luck.

jackedmscl

i dont think i am, it looks in good shape, but i'll try shorting the wire and bypassin the switch to see if thats my prob, thanks for the idea

jackedmscl

so i tested the turn signal switch with a continuity tester and that looks good. Is there a relay that switches turn signals/hazard lights that might be broken somewhere? i'm like 2 min from just calling acura and getting this outta my hands.
