DatsunKing1 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm sure this problem has happened before, I tried searching but it didn't come up with anything. My taillights, sidemarkers, and dash lights are out and won't come on. The headlights and brake lights work, and all the fuses are good. The Relay clicks (I'm not sure if that means it's good though) I was running some tests with a voltmeter, and it said that one of the lines was grounding out? I've read somewhere that it can also be a switch? I need help, I'm without a daily driver! -Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice280zxt Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 you have a bare wire some where. I had a zx that did the same thing It was in the back portion of the car in the cargo area. Time to get striping your interior and look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlerMonkey Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 It's usually the result of a bare wire after a radio install since there at least 4 bulbs and harnessing related the the factory radio and many are just taped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunKing1 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'll check it this saturday I guess, Thanks for your help!! I have a notion its the rear side marker lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice280zxt Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 mine was a exposed wire from not running interior and making junkyard runs putting stuff in the hatch. I guess interior is important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunKing1 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 It just makes me mad, I'm stuck driving a Chevy Corsica instead of my Z, and I can't fix this problem until this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
award280 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I had the same problem twice. Each time it was my combination switch. (the headlight, turn signal switch) All the power for the headlights is going through that switch and it fries easily. Check that and I'm sure that you will find a charred connector.

bmarchuk Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 yeah, what award280 said ... also replace the fuse just to confirm its good, sometimes the fuses blow or wear out on the tips and you cant see the break because its not in the middle...
