Guest zfan Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 Hey guys, Got a question for the wiring pros. Im currently installing a painless 12 circuit fuse box. Bad name for it, more like pain in the butt. Anyway does any one know what wires/color wires are the ignition acc. and main ignition wires? My car is a 1971 240z. The scematic I have is screwed up and have found varius screw ups already. By the way, has anyone else installed this box themselves? If so does anyone have a copy of the wiring set up? Thanks for any help you can give. Zfan/Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Hi, Zfan I just did the pain in the rs 12 fuse box and yes, what a pain. Mine is a 72 and the blue and red main from switch to panel and the black and white was the ignition and black and yellow the starter. I thingk the white and red is the acc. I worked on this for about two weeks. I hope this helps. Good luck Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Adam, by any chance did you keep a record of the wires that you hooked and to where. Reason Im asking is if you could can I get a copy of how you have it wired as Ive had nothing but problems with it. I called techline for painless and spoke to them for thirty minutes and seemed to have most everything straight from what the tech told me. He didnt seem to sharp though. Car will crank but no fire and horn doesnt work know but with hot wire from battery it does? and accessories are a little out of whack. My original fuse block was partially fried and no replacements are out there. I called Motorsport, British, and courtesy Nissan and all said they are not making anymore. MSA said they are working on a replacement but could be six months to a year. Oh boy! Any help would be appreciated. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 I had the same problem with no starting at first. I have two black and white wires. One of the wire is hot when you turn the key. Try switching the wires around. This worked for me. Good luck Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 For the horn there's a relay in the passenger side I believe...my problem was that the little metal arm on the steering column wasn't reaching all the way to the connector on the steering wheel. We should start an "electrical" forum.... I need help with my wipers too What I'm currently doing at home is to make the Chiltons and Haynes diagrams more readable. I scanned them in and am zooming in with Photoshop at like 6000% to clean them up. Adding colors too! Then I'm either gonna print out like 500 sheets and tape them together or take it to a printer and have them print me out a poster. (Like the one that comes with the factory manual sold at MSA, which is "no longer available"...so why advertise it?!) Owen Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 What's wrong with the wipers? I've got a handful of motors thanks to an E-Bay auction and a parts car if you need one Can't say they absolutely work but.... Have some rear view mirrors like that too all boxed up. Been hoarding and buying some parts from E-Bay for awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 DUDE! So that's where all the parts have been disappearing too! Nothing's is wrong with mine, I know they work(ed) just cant figure out how to hook them back up after installing the new wiring harness. I must've misplaced the INT relay.

Guest zfan Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Adam, where did you hook up white wire that goes from old fuse box to aameter+ and looks like to regulator as well? As far as ignition wires go Ive got the red/white wire going from ignition to ign. switch accessories. The Blue/red wire goes from ignition to Altenator Ignition B+. Black/white wire was connected at old fuse box is now hooked to Ignition switch B+. Ive got Fan, fuel pump, headlights, flashers, interior lights, trans selector plus hook up powered up. No brake lights, thats next! Well Any Ideas as to how far Im off would be appreciated. Well back to the wiring grind. Oh well could be worse as I am on my second motor in this thing but lets not even go there!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted May 25, 2001 Share Posted May 25, 2001 Check E-bay for fuse blocks. I've got a "spare" that might or might not fit yours but I'd prefer to hang onto it for now unless you really can't find one. I hope to NOT fry mine when startup time comes but ya' never know( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Adam, figured out wiring finally. Got everything working now, thanks for the tips/help. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Cool, glad to hear everything is working. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locutus Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 That is the same thing I am doing as well Owen. I am going to print them out on multiple sheets of paper and glue them together and get them laminated so I can use dry erase markers to follow a circuit and then erase when I am done.
