No Dash/Cluster Lights, Front Corner Lights and Tail Lights
alright. ive already searched and read through all the threads with people having the same problem. but this one has got me really stumped.
i have a '99 integra. when this first happened, my radio was kinda popping out so i pushed it back. then turned on the lights and the dash lights went out. i checked the fuse and it was blown. i replaced it with another 7.5 fuse. turned on the light, same thing happened again. the fuse blew again. this time i up'd to a 10 fuse. turned on the lights again...they stayed on for a few seconds and then went out again. but this time the fuse didnt blow. the dash/cluster lights, front corner lights, and tag/tail lights are all out. i checked the wiring behind the radio, made sure everything isnt taking anything, but the lights still wont turn on. checked all the bulbs and they are still good. if there is a short somewhere, i have no idea where it would be...
if i cant figure it out, im probably gonna take it to Honda and have them take a look at it. i cant drive my car at night at all...sucks. does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem? lmk...thanks.

I just finished fixing this problem. There is a wire behind you radio that is either disconnected or cut.

the only wire behind the radio that is cut is the orange wire. but it isnt touching any open metal. would having this wire cut be the cause of the lights not turning on?

Re: No Dash/Cluster Lights, Front Corner Lights and Tail Lights
anyways, well i finally fixed my lighting issue today. found out that there wasnt any power going to the fuse box. i traced the wire from the fuse box back to the harness and found the RED/BLACK wire had fried up at one of the connecting terminals. i wired up a new one back from the fuse box to the terminal and i have all my lights back. taped everything back up and made sure there wasnt a short anywhere.
lesson learned is that NEVER USE A HIGHER AMP FUSE THAN WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE...

Dame sucks. I had the same problem. Took it to my wiring guy and he changed out a wire that was burnt out behind the cluster. Easy fix took him 5mins.
