why does my Honda Civic 9th Generation (2012-2015) keep blowing fuses for the headlights

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical shock.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the headlights are off.

2. Replace Blown Fuses

• Remove the blown headlight fuse from the fuse box.
• Install a new fuse of the same amperage (check owner’s manual for specifications).

3. Inspect and Repair Wiring

• Tools Required: Wire strippers, electrical tape, multimeter.
• Carefully examine the headlight wiring harness for any signs of wear or damage.
• Repair any damaged wires by splicing in new wire sections if necessary.
• Use electrical tape to secure any repairs and prevent future exposure.

4. Replace Headlight Bulbs (if necessary)

• Remove the headlight assembly by unscrewing the retaining screws.
• Disconnect the harness from the back of the headlight bulb.
• Remove the old bulb and install the new bulb, ensuring it is securely in place.
• Reconnect the harness and reassemble the headlight assembly.

5. Test Headlight Relay

• Locate the headlight relay in the fuse box.
• Remove the relay and test it with a multimeter for continuity.
• Replace the relay if it shows signs of failure.
