luckysoob Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I searched the forum and only could come up with people having corrosive grounds. Is there anything else that is a common problem that would cause all this. All fuses are fine. 280z by the way. thanks for the help, I will be diving into a wiring diagram soon.

jerryb Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The column switch? One click the parking lights, two clicks parking lights and headlights. But that doesnt explain the brake lights. .......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartz Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i'd say it has something to do with the wiring under the steering column. i've been working at almost the same issue for the last couple days, and it all goes back to the wiring underneath that column. in my 76, all of my wires were shown as stock, but it looked as if someone was messing with them because connections were becoming loose, warn, and overall sloppy... i now have all my lights operating properly, but i still have to tackle the turn signal assembly.

Pharaohabq Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah, it could be the multi switch. it's not uncommon. but you should check your fusible links before tearing into you switch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jintei Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 im in the same situation here, only the front light's work since last week, fuses are ok... And i replaced the light switch 2 years ago... Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Check your rheostat (sp) under the dash if your car is equiped with one. It should be located under the dash to the right of the steering wheel. It allows you to dim your dash lights, it should have a knob on it that you twist to make the lights brighter and dimmer. Also rebuild the combo switch, take it apart very carefully sand down the contacts etc and put it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUZN Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 One time the Switch actually shorted to itself on mine. Due to moister. I opened up the colom and just had to pry loose those little fingers that contact the points to make lights go on. brakes not working though... odd... but not unusual to have corroded back sockets or loose springs in those sockets.
