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 >.<

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
