ModernS30 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ok, I have been searching, I cannot seem to find anything. They were working. The car is a 77 280z with the external voltage regulated alternator. Then I did a 280zxt alternator swap, I followed the wiring done here, http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html, the alternator is working, charging and everything. Now, my tail lights, brake lights, hazard lights, side markers, and dash lights do not work. They all worked before. I tried putting the wiring back with the external regulator (still running the zxt alternator). This didn't work. I have been looking and looking. I daily this car and not having tail/brake lights, BAD! If you have any idea what could be wrong please help me. I'm not very good with wiring but I did it as the thread said. Thanks, Kinser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Problem seems to have come back. Don't know what it is. Obviously a short/loose wire somewhere. Could it be the new alternator? I know the alternator is good. Its just maybe its causing some sort of conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stravi757 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Mine does the same thing, I used to just hit my dash and they would turn back on, but now I just wiggle my light switch and they turn back on every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something really trippy happened. My fuel/voltage gauge backlight used to NEVER work. Today, driving home, before I left my work parking lot the lights came back on. Not only that, on the way home from work, the fuel/voltage gauge light started working. I obviously have a short somewhere. I am going to have to pull my dash sometime soon.
