    Dashboard lights went out after spark from installing radio 2000 honda accord
    I installed a new radio in my 2000 accord, the antenna wire touched a metal part and sparked. Everything else is properly working but the dash board lights aren't working, and that is with or without the head lights on. All fuses are good, all the bulbs on the dash are also good. Don't know where to go from here, any help will be greatly appreciated.:confused:

    Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

    If the fuse tests bad with the voltmeter test or test light test, pull the fuse and do the ohms test. Some fuses will not have power to them with the key on if that system is power side controlled via a relay, difficult to explain but some fuses must use the ohms method with it pulled from the car. It's a good redundent test anyway.

    I seem to remember a headlight fuse was not powered until the headlights were turned on. Don't remember the car, Asian for sure.
