Fuse 16 keeps blowing when ignition is turned on (fuse for headlights), 1996 honda accord.

You need a new headlight switch most likely have the dealer confirm this before replacing any parts.

there is one inside the car. 3 possible places; under the glove box, under the steering wheel or if you open the driver side door the corner of the dashboard usually triangular piece of plastic to remove

According to the diagram the only thing that is on that fuse is trailer wiring.

sounds like a short
look at wires under dash
then look at te wires coming through the fire wall
check lighter too it might have a coin stuck in it as it will cause a short too

put a bigger one in and look for the melted wire that way

None of the answers I received from this site worked...What the solution was and what the problem is. When a Honda Accord has full airbag deployment you must first clear all codes from the computer by unhooking the positive cable from the battery for awhile(counting to ten won't due) I left it disconnected for about 40-45 minutes. Then replace the fuel pump fuse and it was all good....for now

Hi Matt

Follow the( + ) positive lead from the battery, to the starter, check the connections, if all OK, get someone to turn the ignition key to start, and give the starter a tap, on the selenoid, with a small hammer or a metal socket extension.

Good Luck !

Let me know the outcome !

Also a FixYa rating would be nice !

you more than likely have a shorted wire in the headlight harness... you will have to check the wiring from the headlight bulbs to see if it has been pinched up against a sharp metal edge causing a grounded wire, or maybe the harness was crushed by an improper headlight installation.

If you have installed an aftermarket radio then you might have a short in the wiring . Take the radio out and make sure all wiring is insulated and installed correctly

Check the wiring in the front and back to lights for shorts to ground, if nothing is found replace the turn signal switch, be careful to disarm the airbag before doing any work on the column as the steering wheel must be pulled to replace the turn switch.
