Interior Dash Lights And Parkers And Rear Parkers Not Working!


Recommended Posts

Today I thought I'd make a switch to something and in the middle of testing the switch and such something blew causing my Interior dash lights and parkers and rear parkers to stop working, now ive checked all the fuses and they all seem fine (checked all as i cant read japanese!) so I've stopped for the night as its too dark to carry on, im wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what i may have done and what i can do to fix it!?

Any oppinions are welcome :P

Thanks, Tim.

How did you check the fuses did you actually pull each individual one out, the fuse panels under the bonnet in the back of the boot and drivers under the dash? check the relays i found most lighting is in the back of the boot for fuses, and under the driver side panel, Double check those also in the switch what line did you hook it upto, sometimes the lines actually have fuses in the loops as well, Well aftermarket ones usually do, check for those, as well as did you pull the switch out as well and rewire everything back up?

Just some of the things it has to be a fuse or a burnt out wire in that loop for the lighting Have fun there a pain in the ass to find

Cheers

Where you installing a stereo or had one installed recently?

A common skyline problem which a lot of people have is hooking up with dimmer to the ground on the stereo because it's been misread :santa:

causes all the dash lights + tail lights to go off and blow a few, it's pretty funny, driving down the motorway at 100 clicks with no tail lights...

I had the same problem happen. I installed my stereo using the existing "ground" wire from the original head deck. This then blew the dash lights and rear tail lights. The fuse was actually in the boot for this circuit. Easy fixed just run a new proper ground wire.

This might help in future too... I can't find the one I did for the boot/under-bonnet panels but there would be some floating around.

None of these fuses appear to be the ones you're after, two more fuse/relay boxes to go :(

Thanks Marc that will help for future endevours, as for my problem it was a fuse in the boot >.< i totally forgot about the relays there........ silly me. Oh and for the record im an apprentice sparky so it was more a moment of weakness, i checked EVERYTHING bar the boot >.<

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
