Tail lights, ambient lights, climate control lights
Hi guys I bought a used 2017 Acura MDX SH-AWD a few months ago. Im having a problem with some of the lighting. My tail lights, ambient lights, climate control lights, PRND lights are out and some of the settings for my windshield wipers don’t work. I know there’s a short because the fuse keeps blowing out. It’s the fuse for “small light” in the fuse box under the hood. Any help would be much appreciated.

If it's still under warranty (assuming that it is since its a 2017) then why bother. Just take it in to the dealer and let them deal with it.

Where was the accident? Front left would be my guess? Shorts behind the MICU perhaps

The hit was in the front but more in the passenger side. They were all working when I first got it and all of a sudden they stopped working. Was thinking maybe someone else had the same issue.

Since it’s been in an accident I’d lean toward an intermittent short in the parking light circuit. I would start my search in the front corner where the most damage was. Look under hood/pull that headlight to look for a damaged wire harness. The harness could move around when you hit bumps and an exposed wire could short to ground which would blow the fuse.
