tail lights out need help
 
So today i noticed My tail lights were out. so i checked the fuse it was blown. put a new one in. tails worked then realized they were out again. put another in and it blew the tail fuse and the running light fuse. any idea what's going on?

You have a short somewhere. It could be anything from a bad system to a wire grounding out somewhere its not suposed to be. Its not recomended but you could try a fuse with a slightley higher amprege.

If you drive an Integra, it seems to be a common problem. I believe the cluster lights go out as well to let you know the brake lights arn't working.

Funny thing that this came up. Had the same problem when I had my Integra. Taillights would go out, along with the gauge cluster, since I'm guessing they were on the same fuse. When I put my taillights back in one day, I put the wires on the wrong side of the rubber gasket that was there, and the protective coating wore through and touched the metal and always grounded itself out, good thing for fuses or I would have had a more serious problem :lol: I fixed the problem and got a new harness and never had an issue again.

Thanks for your help guys but My break lights and turn singles work its just the tail light and running lights that arent working. im thinking maybe something got wet and keeps blowing the fuse but i could be wrong.
