[Red-Blue wire grounding? Need help with routing.]

Thank you for your patience NewZed. 

 

The Fusebox indeed does point to Domelamp, Intrument panel and ? Luz? 

 

I assume it might be bypassing the ignition as the circuit is powered even though the ignition keys are not in.

 

I'll wait for the weather to get worse so I'll put the car in winter storage, should give me the time then to start backtracking wires and pull panels.

Great! Thanks NewZed. I would thus assume I'm looking for that switch being then shorting. Remove wires, check with meter? The blower motor seems to be working fine. 

 

To make sure I'm looking at the right thing, if there would be an issue, my reverse light would NOT come on if there is an issue. 

The reason I'm asking is, that as I read the chart, it's a red - red/black going to that switch. 

 

Currently (what I've noticed is) Gauge lights not working (gauges work just fine) Dome light not working, map light not working and glove box light not working. Everything else seems to be working just fine. Cannot be sure about the rear window defrost as the contacts are corroded, never tried that one yet.

[Easiest way to track down a busted rear defrost?]

Same issue here. Apparently it used to work on previous owner, but the contacts are clearly corroded came off with a light tug. What is the best way to fix this? I would assume taking a soldering iron to it might not be the way to go. A conductive glue of sorts?

Hi all,

 

My first post on this forum... I recently purchased my dream car, a -70 240Z, US import. Very happy with it, but recently I noticed no lights on the gauges and the internal lights would not turn on. Checked the fuse box ( it's the MSA? more modern box ) and found the blown fuse. As I try to replace it, it burn instantly. Checked with meter and seems red(blue) wire is grounding. Now as I start to search for the wire that might be grounding, I was hoping someone could help explain where it's routed through? 

 

I would assume it comes from behind the center console, somewhere visits the gauges? continues behind the glove box, on the floor next to the door and up the passenger side column. Then on the ceiling to the ceiling lamp. Did I get it right? It's just that seems a bit of a daunting task hunting for the wire. 

 

It's the gauges with out light, otherwise work fine, then ceiling lamp, map light, glove box light that are out. At least have not noticed anything else. 

 

All support appreciated.
