Everything Associated with parking lights wont work.... - Honda Prelude Forum

when i turn on my "parking lights" (small dot, first click) nothing turns on. yet, when i turn on the "lights" (large dot, second click) the headlights come on. NOTHING else comes on. The interior lights (speedo, tach, A/C panel, buttons to left of steering wheel) do not light up. I also have no tail lights. Pretty much nothing but headlights. It is very illegal and VERY unsafe. Is there like just one fuse associated with the parking lights and everything like that or does this sound like more than a fuse problem?

sounds like you hooked up the wrong wires

There is a fuse in the panel under the hood. Just check all those fuses with a fuse tester. Be sure to check both sides of the fuse.

What did you do?

well, i was checking wires for voltage and i thing one of the "wrong" wires connected with he ground wire....and started smoking....i said oops and didnt pay attention. I connected the two you told me to and i could hear the relay clicking on and off, but i plugged up one of the lights and nothing.....that may be because of the fuse?

Another thing it could be is the intergrated control unit. I burnt out my left turn signal once and turns out that was what the problem is. It's located behind the fuse panel that's in your car. Costs $235 new at a honda dealership. I got mine for $35 at a junkyard.

Also could be the headlight combo switch, happened in my old Prelude.

okay, i looked at the fuses, ALL OF THEM, and it turned out that the 20 (yellow one) under the hood was out, but it looked okay. i dropped the fuse by mistake and said "fvck it" and replaced it, then i heard the dinging noise cause the lights were on and the door was open

you claim to not care about your post count at all yet you make so many threads about petty things. if numerous electronic things stop working all at once its almost always a fuse. you can check the obvious things like fuses before making a thread.
