dat240zg Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Guys, Thanks to Nissan for giving us one of the more confusing bit of electrical wiring thingies....I'm almost done with re-wiring the Z and just have the combo switch to go. I've done all of the searching, including the FAQ on the Painless to Combo switch, but the problem is, all of my wires are different colors than the one in the FAQ as well as any other pic/schematic that I've seen. In fact, it's different than the other switch that I have, which is also different from the ones that I've found here!!!! SO......anyone else want to volunteer a combo switch schematic that I could use? I saw an older post about someone that was swapping in the combo switch from an early 90's DSM. Anyone know if this ever happened? That would be a slick piece! If you have pics or advice, I'm open to both. Thanks again!

COZY Z COLE Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I don't know if this helps but my info is that starting with the 72 240Z some/all, intermittent wipers were added which changed the wiring, connectors, and hardware/mounting of the combo switch. If you have a 70 240Z you need the early combo switch and wiring. Fig. 2 shows the 70 combo wiring.http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1d/1d/80/0900823d801d1d80.jsp LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Look at the stickies in this section, ignition & electrical. There isn't a pretty schematic but there is a diagram that covers the wires in the combo switch and which wires they couple with in the painless kit. Its about in the middle of the page... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=94822 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks to both of you. Looks like the Autozone link is going to help me. I had looked at the FAQ and seen the diagrams, but for whatever reason, even the number of wires that I have coming from my switch is different, not just the colors. Thanks again.

BillZ260 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I hope the autozone diagrams help out. Basically I ended up taking some diagrams that Painless emailed me and a multimeter and flipped switches and tested leads for about 3 hours and wrote down all the results.

Phantom Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 You can go on-line with Courtesy Nissan in Irving, Texas and obtain a CD version of the Factory Service Manual for your car or go to: Nissan Service Publications 20770 Westwood Drive Cleveland, Ohio 44136 Attn: Photo Copy (440) 572-7280 And get a hard copy reproduction of the FSM. With the extensive work your doing to the car it might be good to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
