Onion Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I had an issue with my turn signal connector under the dash in my 1973 240Z where the connector cracked, the wires shorted, and it melted a bit. I rewired everything, and it all worked. However, I didn't have a crimp tool on hand so I did my crimps on the non insulated connectors just by folding the metal pieces over the wire and giving it a tight squeeze. This worked temporarily but proved to be not be very effective after some wires came loose. I dismantled everything, found the proper tool for the job, and did it again. Now all four of my hazards don't work and my rear left turn signal doesn't work. I checked the fuses, and they're all good. What do you guys recommend? I'm pretty lost when it comes to electrical work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Check your hazard switch and double check your work . You can take the switch apart , check and clean all contacts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Unplugged it all and put it all back together the same way, maybe something was not connecting well, but my rear left now works again. Hazards are still a no-go, but I'm gonna clean off the switch now. Thanks Domzs. Edit: Still no hazards.

Domzs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Swap your turn signal flasher and hazard flasher and recheck . If that doesn't work , test hazard switch per FSM . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 And don't forget to check all your grounds...they are often the issue when the lights are working sporadically. Most (if not all) of the ground points for the rear lights are in the rear hatch, behind the taillight cover panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
