parking lights are out, - Honda Prelude Forum

My parking lights and guage lights went out and my digital guages don't dim. I checked all the fuses none are out! Which fuse controls the parking lights? If it is not the fuse what can it be? What are the lighting relays? Could it be them? Or could it be the switch?

Which parking lights are you talking about? There are the corner lights and the bumper lights that come on. Does your horn and cruise control work?

every light that turns on with the parking lights are out. everything else works fine.

Awhile ago I had a fuse blow and my parking lights/horn/Cruise didn't work. It was a 15 amp fuse in the box under the hood. Did you check all those fuses as well? Not just the ones in the kick panel?

I check all under the hood and kick panel.

Interesting then. I don't know where to go. Maybe you have the Christmas Lights Syndrome??

hey thanks anyway. I have a feeling about those relays but I don't know how to test them.

Thanks

If its not a fuse, you need to start checking under the dash for a short, to start with. They can be a booger to track down. You need to check the circuit running to the fuse box too.

I figured it out it was a relay. I turned the switch on and unpluged the relays under the hood and the lights turned on. I pluged them back in and now it is fine.
