Peejn8r Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just got a 1978 280z and the turn signals don't presently work. Didn't dig in yet but the guy I got it from said that they are wired off the 4 ways. Is this going to be harder to fix than I thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Probably not but you're gonna have to follow the wiring to figure out what was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The stock turn signals work through the hazard light switch if it's corroded, broke, or disconnected they won't work. It shouldn't be hard at all xenons30.com has wiring diagrams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates_ Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hopefully everything else works like your dash lights, head lights and tail lights, cause that is much more of a pain to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peejn8r Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 dash lights, head lights, brake lights, marker lights all work. When i move try to use the turn signals nothing happens.

19762802+2 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Do they not work on the dash? Are you getting them to work outside the car? I know that for a while I thought my left side wasn't working but Outside the car it was and all that was wrong was that the bulb had fallen out of the back of the Tach. Also another thing to try is make sure you have the right style lights in the bulb holders. Mine had issues because I put the wrong ones in and it melted a bit of plastic around the contacts.

MidnightRider Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Just a quick tip, when I first got my Z it had all sorts of problems like this. 85%+ of the problems were fixed by sanding down the contacts on the fuse box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
