hi,

just bought a 90 integra RS and was going to install a radio. however after installing the radio, it did not power on. 2 days later my dashboard lights went out and now my tail lights dont work. the manual talks about locating a blown fuse. i located the fuse box but cannot tell which fuse is which. does anyone have a diagram for the fuse box or any suggestion on how to fix this?

My guess is that your fuse is definently blown. The same thing happened to me...I wired my indiglo guages to my parking light switch, and one of the wires came loose and BAM! dash lights, corner lights, and tailights out!!

Sounds like yours was cause by your stereo being wired wrong. The factory stereo in the that year teg has lights that come on with the parking lights. My guess is that when you wired your radio negative wire you hooked it up to the wire that turns the lights on on the deck. Take a volt meter to the wire you hooked it up to and check to make sure that it is negative when the lights are off, and when theyre on...if not...thats your problem. Fix it, and the fuse, and you should be in business.

As for the diagram you can find it in any repair manual try your library if you dont wanna invest in one

Let me know how this turns out for ya.

geoff,

thanks for the tip. i located the fuse box and after checking all the fuse i found that 3 had blown. the radio, rearlights and dashboard fuse. all i had to do was replace them and all was well. as for the diagram, i found it behind the cover of the fuse box.

many thanx
