Lights Lights And No Action :(

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

i'd say the fog lights were wired in a bit dodgey. probably a loose connection on the relay (if one was used).

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.
