Guest cincispeedemon Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Ok, heres the deal. My headlights and brake lights work. my tailights and parking lights don't. My turn signals and hazards come and go...I think that may just be a relay. My main concern is the tail lights because I can't drive it right now. It's an 82 280zx non-turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Can we assume that you checked the fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 yeah... first thing check the fuse I've had this problem in every Z I've had it usually ends up being a short in either the light dimmer pot switch, or the light combo switch. In my 240 I solved this problem by simply bypassing the light dimmer switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRJoe Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Be sure you've got a good ground, you'd be suprised how many problems can be traced to a bad ground. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cincispeedemon Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 sorry about that, I checked the fuse, haven't had a chance to check grounds. If the combo switch was bad would my headlights still work? Dimmer switch?? would that affect my taillights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I'm not sure what the switch looks like on the ZX, but on the Z the headlight switch itself will get full of crap and not work correctly. You are having the same problems mine had right before it started on fire . I would take it apart and clean the stuff out of it. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vashonz Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I've heard that the curcuit taillights are run through the hazard light, I dont have a wiring diagram here, so you might check that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
