73_240z Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 my dashboard lights arent working. My dad and i checked all the connections and were all getting power. Is there an easy way to fix? Any help is appreciated. Thank you Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Oh man.. I have a few lights out in my dash, and I have just given up.. aside from removing the dash (or a fair amount of 'stuf' under it) I can't get to most of the lights. Trust me, it's a PITA!

73_240z Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Thanks for your help. I'll just go over to autozone and find some lights to put in front of it. Im sure they got something over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Oh, come on! It's not THAT bad. If no lights at all are working, you might start by looking at what's common to everything. The dimmer switch, the headlight switch itself, fuse, etc. Take your multimeter and a copy of the wiring diagram and work your way backwards until you find where the interruption is. It's not THAT complicated a circuit, and it would look 10x better than cobbling something together. The first thing I'd look at, if I were you, would be the headlight switch. They're known to break the solder on the joints after 30+ years. Mine did. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
