lighting problem please help.

i have a 01 ex coupe the other day my wife was driving the car and it made a clicking noise. and the gauge light shut off all you see is what gear it is in. it also made my back driving lights shut off so at night noone can see me unless i apply my brakes. i check all my fuses they all seem to be fine. can anyone help me with this problem. or what may be the problem? thank you.

Re: lighting problem please help.

I know jack **** about wiring bro...But I posted that up so you could see what fuse to check under the hood, I remembered putting up a picture as to it's location in that thread. I'd check that first, seeing as it's easier then tearing apart your whole insall looking for bad caps

Re: lighting problem please help.

What brand headunit ??

Most illumination leads are Orange or Orange/White stripe. (not all)

Do not replace the fuse again until they are taken loose.
