Light problems!
-96 civic ex coupe
The cluster lights dont work but the fuse are good. HELP
When i turn on my left blinker, it blinks, but when i step on the brake, it cuts off?! Also as im holding the brake, the left blinker light on my cluster is dimly illuminated. HELP?!

Re: Light problems!
Did something blow it? If so, what blew it?
Then look for jacked wiring in the dash lights circuits---maybe an aftermarket stereo?
Then a bad dash light brightness controller---if it came down to this, I'd bypass it so the lights were on full brightness.

Wrong bulb may do it, a single filament bulb in a dual filament socket....
A missing ground for any of the exterior lights could do it.

Well, there's a few ideas to start with.
On the blinkers and brakes, I'd probably have a wiring diagram, a test light and jumper wires, and be checking grounds first.
