civicwagovan Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 hi im new the forums, i have been having trouble with my rear lights and wiper. I had a burned out bulb on the right side (so i thought), so i replaced all ten of them but my right rear side still does not work except for the brake light. The wiper does not work either, nor does the liscence plate lights. When i took off the cover to replace the light everything was covered in mud?? any suggestions would be helpful I Own a 88 honda civic wagon 4wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 did you check your fuses? it might just be a blown fuse or something. not sure what to tell you about the mud though. keep us posted, we'll figure this problem out shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 10 bulbs in one tail? That's a lot of bulbs...I can see hmmm, brake/running light, running light, a running light for the side, signal, reverse...that's 5 where do the other 5 come in? hmmm, well if it's not a fuse, maybe you should check the sockets. One day, I was replacing the clear bulbs in my front signals with ambers, and wondered why it only signaled, the running light wouldn't come on. So I looked at the socket, and saw that the metal connector for the running light was bent flat, while the signal connector was raised a little. So I raised the metal connector a bit with a screwdriver and VIOLA! it worked. If that's not it, there's prolly a short/break somewhere and you'll have to fish that out with a volt meter or something...that I'm not sure how to do.
