  1. Thank you, however the brake lights are not always on. They do work properly.

     

    Normally, yes, the dirty contacts are the culprit.  However in the case of my car, it was a bad splice by the previous owner.

     

    There is something else wrong with the rear defogger, I try using the switch, but it still doesn't work.

  2. I was thinking that much.  I dont think the cruise will work even after that switch gets installed because the pressure activated switches on the clutch and brake peddle have nothing to butt up against when the peddles are all the way up.

     

    They just appear to be threaded holes.

     

     

    On the positive side i was working on my dim head light issue today (was pulled over thursday night on my way home from work) in pic one, in the upper right hand corner you see a red wire with a green/yellow stripe that leads into a red wire splice.  I found where that wire was located in the large harness in close to the same location in the same pic, then repaired it.  I now have "B*tchin' Betty" back (If that name is inappropriate, mods, please change it).   Makes me wonder what other things she says...

  3. First, thank you very much for the help you have given me and will attempt to give to me.

     

    I already took the cluster out and tested the inputs, everything is good at the wires in the harnesses.

     

    I have not gotten around to testing the connection at the rear defroster so i have not figured that out yet.

     

    I have an ohm meter that i use for testing.  I am fairly good with wires/electrical stuff.

  4. Like you said, the radio, cruise and climate control are out.

    I keep blowing fuses for the power mirrors so i need to find that short.

    I cannot switch from high to low beams in my car.

    The digital dash is out.  It lights up but i dont get any readings on it (MPH, tach, fuel, or temp).  I trouble shot that and found i am in need of a new cluster.

    My warning buzzer is on all the time.

    Rear window defog does not work.  It needs a new sensor on the hatch glass.

    Driver's side head light is super dim. (have not gotten around to checking as per xenons130.com)

    Also, my horn is out.

  5. I'm really short on funds as of now. got laid off in november and could not get unemployment. i just recently got a job and this is my daily driver for now.

  6. I bought an 83 280 zx 2+2 NA from a guy for 350$.  The body is in decent condition and the motor/trans work great.  However the interior is trash.

     

    The previous owner made a mess of the wires in the dash and i'm just trying to get this thing back up and working proper.

     

    I will upload some pics i took from under the steering wheel of loose connecters and broken wires.  I have looked at the Wire Diagram provided from xenon s130 and am un able to figure this mess out.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

  7. I'm pretty sure that most of you on here have already seen this, but I'm posting it again, with the hopes that it'll answer some of the questions regarding fitting the Mustang tail lights into the rear of a 240/260/280 (First Generation Style) Z.  Keep in mind, this install was done on an 82 280ZXT, which we already know has MUCH larger tail lights than the 240/260/280.  

     

    Also, keep in mind that the leader screen and trailer screen were in response to a few purists who said I'd be messing up "MY" car by doing this body modification.  Don't be offended, just "Get Over It"... It's MY car.

    You wouldn't happen to have a write up made for this would you?

     

    That would be swell.
