Tail lights and fog lights won't come on? But they work when i press the break?
Its a 1996 honda accord. Well just today i took off of the bumper to re-adjust it. I took off the taillights and the inner taillights as well to polish them, also when i took off the taillights i also replaced the licence plate bulbs and took off and polished my rear corner bumper lights too. So everything was going fine but when i removed the bumper there was a lil black cable attatched to it. It was grounded behind the bumper. I disconnected it thinking it wudnt be no biggie to put back on. I polished the lights and udjusted the bumper. Well today when i put everything back together they all worked fine ( fog lights, Tailights, breaklights and rear bumper lights) … But then i remembered i left a screw un bolted to the bumper. So i removed the bumper once more to screw it back in but while iwas doing that the lil black cable ripped. I thought it was no biggie so i took a gold plated ring terminal i had laying around and connected it again. And now the fog and all the rear talights won't turn on. They turn on when i hit the breaks but thats it. I also tried to re wire my licence plate lights but was unsuccessful. Could i have shorted a all my wire? Or messed up something? Or was it that black lil ground cable that came off? Maybe i didn't put it back on right? Please help thats my daily and i need it to go to work. Thanks!
The lights are not grounded. So, hook another ground wire to them.
Why do they work when the brakes are on? Because, lacking a ground, the tail lights and brakes are in series. This applies partial voltage to both the tail lights and the brakes (both would be a lot dimmer than usual).
Fog lights
- 2004 Honda Pilot Cranks but won't start if I press the gas when starting it starts.Engine lights is off,? Maintenance required is on but when I reset the lights turned off and everything works for now? What would be the problem? 1. I'm thinking it is the Timing belts slips 2. Relay maybe lose 3. Crank position sensor lose What would be the reason trying to get opinion and will look into it whatever is the best possible problem.
