Default Found the short. (Re: instrument and marker lights stay on, even with fuse pulled !! short?where?)

Hi guys,

I found the short, in a very odd place.
I DID suspect it could be something to do with my radio, which I had been
fiddling with for a long time, because my right speaker would cut out
intermittently (one of the million other weird problems, I keep having with
my car.This one was a issue known to happen in 91 civics due to cold solder
joints, I learned)

So the short is when the loose radio lights illumination (+) wire touches
the radio battery backup (+) wire. (They are next to each other and to the
right speaker (+) wire)
Weird huh. I guess the illumination wire is part of the marker lights
circuit, while the battey backup wire is from the always-on ciggarette
lighter circuit.

Whatever. Honda sux. So much time wasted and so much hassle
