What does the tail light relay look like in a 2000 honda passport? I am trying to trace a short somewhere on the tail light/ instrument panel light fuse.

The relay looks alright, unfortunately. Which means I have a short somewhere else. I'm pretty sure its not in the rear of the car and I'm afraid to try to open up the instrument panel to see if it is coming from there. Is there anywhere else that could be a source of the short? I am actually missing diode box 6. Could that be it?

Good point. I guess I better test it before jumping to any conclusions. Is there another relay I could put in its place to test if thats the problem?
