    91 Accord lighting issue

    I have a 91 Accord LX and can not figure out as to why the parking lights, tail lights, and dash lights do not work. New bulbs all around, just replaced the headlight switch, and pulled and checked each fuse to see if that could be the issue. Everything seems fine, but no lights.

    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Anyone have experience with electrical systems?

    All of the fuses have been checked, under the hood as well as under the dash. The tail light and brake light is the same bulb, it's a dual filiment and the brake light works.

    seperate fuses for each are you sure you checked both? otherwise my gues would be a wiring issue,are there any harness; in the trunk around the lid hinge area that may be loose and getting pinched when opened?

    You need to look at your fusebox under steering wheel. You will find out . Don't even bother looking at rear lights in the trunk because that is not the problem.

    Solved the issue. Under the fuse panel under the hood had 4 loose connections. Repaired them and everything now works.

    Thanks to everyone that chimed in
