2000 Honda Civic no brake lights. Fuse blown
Randy’s question:
My 2000 Honda Civic has no brake lights. It keeps blowing the brake light fuse. I’ve changed the brake light switch and check all the bulbs and their sockets, and none are damaged or covered in water like some of my older cars used to do. What should I check next?
Answer:
well, you’ve covered the obvious bases to look for a problem. So I would hazard a guess that a wire somewhere is pinched and touching the frame of the car. The last civic I fixed like that had a pinched brake wire in the wiring harness behind the panel on the left side of the rear seat. So start by checking there, as the wiring harness is rather tight there on Civics and can wear through over time.
