Hello all,

Help Needed, when I press on the brake or turn the headlights on, the front/rear turn lights would light up along with the brake lights in the back... and when you turn the turn signal lights on without the brake pressed they work fine, but if you press the brake well they are blinking they will stay on solid and bolth turn lights in the cluster light up also...

Also, I was driving in the highway and I noticed that when it is on cruise if I turn the turn signals on the cruise control is deactivated !

I had a mechanic to take a look at it and he told me the fuse box needs to be replaced ! What is your idea?

By the way it is a civic 2009 LX-S sedan

Thanks

Any electrical work, or bulb modifications done to car ?? Body work at rear (or front) ??

I doubt it's a fusebox problem. More like a wiring problem in the rear of the car. I can't tell what exactly because I can't diagnose it myself firsthand.


Something easy like.....lost the ground circuit for the taillights.

Open the trunk lid, pull back the carpet trim from the rear area on the drivers side....and look in this area and see if this one bolt is loose:
