No corner lights.

Ihave an 04 vic and my corner lights are not working. The turn lights work front and back. I check the fuses and 1 15amp fuse was blown ( small lights) under the engin bay so I replaced it with a 15 amp fuse. When I turned my lights back on it poped again. I poped 3 more so I took it to honda dealer and they said thay cant look at it for at least 2 weeks From now so does any one have a clue on what this could be.

yes you have a short to ground somewhere. There is too much current flowing through that circuit thus blowing the fuse in order to prevent wires from burning up. the added current comes from the power in that circuit going straight to ground before any of the load, and there is no resistance in that path, thus increasing the current flow over the rated fuse.

What you can do is find someone on here who can send you the diagram of the wiring (specific locations) of that circuit, and you can start tracing the wiring though that circuit to try and find where the short is. Usually it will be a wire pinched to the frame, or a broken wire touching ground, etc...

if you have a Voltmeter, you can use this to aid in helping you locate the short.
