Front marker light/parking light out...help

[NormRD]

The driver side yellow parking light plus the driver side white driving light are both out on my car. I don't think they both went out at the same time. Is there a fuse or something that i can change? If so which fuse? Or any ideas how to fix this?

Did you try changing the bulbs? That's the most likely cause of the problem.

Haven't done that yet, was just surprised since both seemed to go out at the same time. thought it could be something more. Will check them after work.

i'm also betting fuse since they both went out at the same time. there are 3 fuse boxes in the nsx, one driver side interior side pannel clutch side, another in the engine compartment, and I cant remember where the third is. I am pretty sure the fuses for headlights, etc. are in the engine compartment fuse box. the owners manual will say for sure. if you dont have an owners manual let me know and I will look in mine, although I have a '98 and am not sure of YTY changes on electrical systems. also, the inside cover of the fuse box will be labeled.

If you could let me know which fuse to look at that would be great. I have checked looked in the under hood fuse box but it had no label. Will check in the engine compartment one too.

First caveat, I am sure there have been changes from '92 to '98, but I looked in my manual so here goes anyway.

I have 3 fuse boxes:
· Engine Compartment – near air cleaner housing
· Under Hood – passenger side toward the front of car
· Interior – driver side under dash near clutch

If your problem existed on a ’98, it would either be fuse #19 and #21 Under Hood -or- #3 and #5 Interior.

With all that said, the lights that went out on your NSX are run by different fuses on the ’98, which assuming NO CHANGES between ’92 and ’98 would make me think your problem couldn’t be a fuse – what are the odds of 2 fuses blowing at the same time? However, it is likely that in ’92 the 2 lights are run by the same fuse, you will just have to look.

The only other thing I can think of is a plug came loose behind your light assembly and this plug powers both lights? You said they are on the same side, so this is possible, but you will just have to look.

I hope that helps.

For grins, I decided to take a look at the electrical diagram of your NSX.

Both Front Position Lights are on fuse No. 38 (15 amp). So, if only one is out, it is not the fuse.

The Side Marker lights connect directly to the Side Marker Flasher Circuit of the Indicator Control Unit. Again, if one lamp is out, the Control Unit is OK.

Since both lamps are on separate cable assemblies, it appears that you need to change your bulbs.

Be sure to use a protective cloth with your screwdriver when removing the Side Marker Light or you'll scratch the paint.
