I got a 96 honda accord Lx And it keeps blowing the parking lights fues as soon as i turn the lights on i try everything i can think of if there is If thereis anybody that can give me some ideas on what it could please hit me up and let me know

Papo783:

Knowing little else, I'm ASSUMING it blows fuses as soon as you turn on the parking/head lights. Likely a defective "combination" switch (the "stalk" switch, mounted on the steering column) else a wiring problem.

yes it does do that soon i turn the switch it blows it

Papo783:

While I cannot be perfectly certain, I'd bet you have a defective combination switch. Faulty/dirty (internal) contacts, causing a short, are likely the problem. Otherwise, you may have some kind of wiring issue with the parking lights themselves.

Take it to your Honda dealer or a reputable shop for problem analysis.

If the combination switch is defective, you're looking at about $55.42 for the part. I will not speculate about the labor cost.

Let us know as shorts can be a pain in the rear to diagnose and repair. I've had to rewire a car's running lights one and it wasn't fun.

Do you have a multimeter by any chance?

Do

Stevencrosbie and Papo783:

I will bet you, dollars to doughnuts, that the "combo" switch is the culprit.

All other things being equal, mechanical (moving) parts always fail first. Here, we have a mechanical device, actuated by the driver's hand/fingers, to produce an electrical result.

Some/many of the "combo" switches tend to be fragile, just outright failure prone, especially in (literally) the hands of a ham-fisted operator. Add to this the age of the car...and the likely countless (thousands) use events...

If you have a Fluke (or some decent) digital multi-meter, you can disconnect the "combo" switch terminals (at the column) to test against values given in the factory shop manual.

Steve, in perfect agreement with you, I HATE to diagnose electrical issues. IMO, unless it's a straightforward problem, they are a real PITA. On an ancient (1967) Ford F100 pickup my Dad once owned, I never could fix the damned, inoperative horn. After pulling half of my hair out, I gave up! I have encountered problems I think only GOD can fix!

I got a multimeter And a buddy use it and it told me that there is a wire touching some were
