Well my car wouldnt start last night so had to take the wifeys. But when i got home i started checking my fuses. My small light fuse(under the hood thats what it's labled) and door security (under hood)fuses were blown. I replaced the security fuse and the car starts. But everytime I turn on the headlights the small light fuse blows. I have checked all my aftermarket wiring and find nothing a miss any ideas?

also is there a downloadable manual somewhere i have checked the stores and nada. I need to fix my gas tank and have no idea where to start taking it down

Ok so when I turn on my lights my small light fuse blows. And when I activate my alarm and lock the doors(the factory alarm chirp) it blows the security fuse. What the hell gives guys any ideas? A bad relay or something?

I had this issue with the small light/radio fuses blowing, I believe it was an exposed wire from my headunit that was grounding out

on1wheel01

but my radio keeps working. and what gives with the security system. once it blows the car will not start i checked all the wires behind the radio but ill go check again

on1wheel01

ok well no open wires behind the radio. No open wires anywhere. I also unhooked my 4 channel amp and nada. I also tried switching out the lighting relay cuz I had a spare from the junk yard and also nada. Jeez this is gonna get old quick any ideas guys?

I had this for about a month, probably 5 years ago, I can't remember what the issue was though...

lol well i hope it stops as I have no clue why it started. For about a week my cars been sluggish to start in the mornins when it was 15 outside. Today i bought a new batt so that should stop that problem. I dont think it has anything to do with my system as i checked all my wires. But I am gonna take out my system as I just put it up for sale im tired of crap breaking cuz of it

Shouldn't have anything to do with it, but that's the thing with systems, they only encourage electrical gremlins to get worse

yeppers that's true. Well hopefully somebody will chime in on somewhere to start looking since i dont have a wiring scheme im lost.

on1wheel01

Nobody? Man i really dont wanna put this thing in the shop and get raped

on1wheel01

Well I took out every bit of my system and put back to factory and that was not the problem. Also the rear window defroster mechanism box i touched it to metal and it sparked and smoked a bit if this normal or is something a miss there>?

Ok after brain storming with my buddy(who is a honda guru) I remembered the visors have llights that come on when u open them but only when the lights are on. Ends up the wire that gives them power had come out of the protective cover. All is good now. Thanks Chris for throwin some ideas out
