How do you find a short circuit that blows the fuse causing the instrument panel tail lights and license plate lights to go out on a 1995 Honda Civic EX?

I am guessing that you have an aftermarket stereo, check the illumination circuit power wire in the stereo wire harness, it may be grounding against metal inside the dash. Most new stereos have their own lighting system and do not require the additional feed, most times it is left hanging. Locate it and insulate the bare end.

What would cause the dash broad lights to come on and off but only the dash broad lights?
Answer 1 - Instrument Lights Operate IntermittentlyWithout doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one here can be certain of the specific location and cause of your problem. However, based on your question, I suspect that the cause is a loose connection in the circuit providing power to the instrument lights, or on the instrument panel circuit board itself.It is possible also, that the instrument panel dimmer switch is wearing out.Answer 2 -The dash dimmer switch or the headlight switch is the most likely problem.
