Hey Guys

I have a weird issue with my lights.

Car has fog lights installed, and when i turn my headlights on the rear lights dont work and the dash lights dont work but the front lights work fine.

Then when i turn on the fog lights the rear and dash lights turn on.

At times i can start hitting the dash and the lights will turn on without having fog lights on.

any one got any ideas ????

a fuse maybe,

im thinking its a loose wire or connection :S :S

The dash lights have been changed to emitt a bluish glow. (as seen in my avatar)

Any help would be good

Nissan's (Navara and Patrols were what I worked on) over time tend to wear out the brass contacts in the light switches. Its a matter of pulling the switch apart and having a look at it - if you know what your doing usually you can fix it. These contacts make contact on and off which will do what your describing.

Either Borrow a new switch and see what it does, or if your keen pull apart your old one and see if you can see burnt marks on the contacts - use a bit of wet and dry sand paper to clean the points... and NEVER bend them too far otherwise you fark the switch.

Cheers

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
