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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
