dhp123166 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I have a '76 280z. The ignition relay has been bypassed (I think) to an aftermarket relay under the hood. It starts and runs fine. When keyed off the dash instrumentation stays on. The left turn signal lamp indicator does not work. I jury rigged something where if the headlight fusible link is detached, the dash instrumentation shuts off. I am thinking the ignition relay is bad since it controls other functions as well as starting/ stopping. Finding one might be a problem, I searched other posts and found the numbers but I called Nissan and they show it as an "Inhibitor Switch' for $28.47... Probably the wrong one... Like I said it is somewhat minor because I have worked around it for so long, but it would be nice to fix... Thanks. Edited March 6, 2009 by dhp123166 left out info...

dhp123166 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 After trying to track one down from Nissan a cursory search found me on a site called "Z Specialties Inc." They have the Ignition relay upgrade for $54.95. I'm gonne replace it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Wasn't the problem, now looking for something else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp123166 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Found problem. Fixed problem. Created other problem. Will fix new problem. It's not really a problem because I created it by having too many after market electrical guages cut into the stock lighting harness so one of my headlights is dim. I'll make right what I did and the problem should be resolved. My harnesses were fine until I started f***ing with them!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naviathan Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Problems never fix themselves. Might want to continue looking things over just incase it creeps up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
