To help change the fuse, did it blow, if not press the horn did it blow if not, press the brake same again if it blows with out touching anything it's a dead short. If it's when you operate something that's the faulty circut then you know what way to look. If it was the horn circuit try disconnecting the horn brake lights disconnect the lamp.

You have a short circuit along the wiring... good luck trying to trace where that wire with worn out sheathing ~ usually at pinch points

2005 Honda Odyssey brake horn fuse keeps blowing, stuck in park

Why do fuse's keep blowing ? A short circuit to (ground) somewhere . Do you know how to use a wiring diagram an a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test electrical circuit's ? Brake ? brake light's ? You can't get it out of park because of the shift lock solenoid ( shifter interlock system ) This is a safety system that won't let gear selector to move from park unless driver is pushing the brake pedal . The fuse blowing - no power to brake light switch , computer see's no signal so it won't energize the shift lock solenoid .

I have a 1990 chevy cheyenne c2500. my brake lights,parking lights and blinkers arent working and when i try to replace the fuse,it blows immediatly. what could the problem be?

What is the amp rating on the fuse that keeps blowing? I looked at wiring for stop lamps, 15 amp fuse. Unplug connector for stop lamp switch, see if the fuse still blows? Also see if anything at connector looks burned or melted.

You could have problem with fuse box, itself. Look at back side of fuse box, see if anything looks burned or melted.

2000 Honda Odyssey. The passenger side headlamp burned out and I replaced it, no issues two days ago. Battery was cranking slowly and terminals were corroded so I cleaned them. Last night in 15 degree...

The driver's Multiplex Control System is a small computer that controls (among many other things) the dash lights brightness, ignition key interlock, shift interlock, and has a tie in to the brake light system and horn relay. It may be that this small computer malfunctioned and started the whole problem chain.

However, I note from the factory shop manual that if polarity is reversed on the shift interlock--it can be damaged. Reverse polarity will ruin the diode inside the shift interlock. This could have happened when you jumped the battery--a brief period of getting the cables and terminals mixed up could have done it.

Checking the shift lock solenoid can be done by removing the steering column upper cover. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid connector (2 terminals). Using long jumper wires, apply battery voltage to terminal 1 (yellow wire side) of the solenoid and ground terminal 2 (green wire side). Check that the shift lever can now be moved out of Park. NOTE: applying voltage in the opposite direction of that above will damage the diode in the solenoid and will probably ruin it. Remove your jumpers and shift back to park and check that the solenoid locks. If the solenoid does not work properly, it will need to be replaced. This involves removing the end of the transmission shift cable and is a complex job. Remember, no power to the solenoid equals a locked solenoid--it takes power to unlock it.

The Multiplex Control Unit has a self diagnostic feature which checks the computer itself and inputs to the computer. The computer check is called mode 1 and the input test is mode 2. The diagnostic trouble codes are outputted to the ignition key light and beeper.

To test, first confirm that all fuses are good, especially fuse 9 (10A) in the driver's under dash fuse box (left kick panel) and fuse 13 (7.5A) in the passenger's under dash fuse box (right kick panel). Then use a jumper wire (a wire with small alligator clips on each end works best) to jump the two leads of the multiplex test connector. (This is a light green 2 terminal connector dangling from the same wire bundle as the brake pedal switch connector.) Buckle the driver's seat belt (avoids nuisance beeps). Now turn the ignition switch to on. After about 5 seconds, the ignition key light should come on and the beeper should beep for 2 seconds then stop for .2 sec. then beep once for .2 seconds. This indicates that the system is in diagnostic mode 1.

If no diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) are present, the key light and beeper will not blink/beep again. If there are codes: about one second after entering mode 1, the key light and beeper will indicate the DTC and repeat it every 3 seconds. If there are more than one, the system will indicate them in ascending order. The codes will be a light flash and beep so you will have to count the flashes/beeps to keep track. The codes range from 1 to 6. Code 3 (three flashes/beeps) indicates a problem with the multiplex control unit itself. Write back here for other codes or for questions about mode 2.

I don't have an owners manual and I need a fuse diagram for my 2002 jeep liberty

There is normally a diagram printed onto the the inside of the fuse case.
