Did you check to see if someone has switched the light to "on at all times" rather than "on when doors are open" :D

na, i check that..lol

now the switch is off..

but wen set to turn wen doors open, the light will stay on evan wen everything is close, plus the door light on the dash stays on too!!

so pretty much every time i drive now the dash door light is on...

i no..lol

its got one wire coming out of the door switch..i think it was just red..

it was stil plug in and looked fine..from wat i can..is there a door module, or something lik that in r33's???

my alarm is connect the the interior light..could it be a short, or a lose wire??

i gota look from my alarm mod. and wer those wires connect to..

sounds very much like a door switch issue

check both of them

when they are open they complete the circuit by using the body of the car for the earth

it could also be in the light assembly

its hard to diagnose it with out looking at the car

but its not a real complex system so just go through it slowly and you'll find it eventually

still on..cant seem to find my alarm wiring harness..

i no its connected to the door sensor switch..

coz wen i un-armd the alarm..for the 30 secs the interior light comes on..

den after 30 secs..it switch off..and the imbolizr..turns back on too..

so i think its shorting out der wer the ..

lose wire or something..

anyone ever had problem with the door switch before?

or got an idea wer to start lookin for this wiring?

i think the problem has somethin to do wit my boot light!!!!

would that keep the door light on???

becoz, i was drivin last nit, wen i notice a bit light comin out of my boot, coz i could c light coming from the air vents, that go into the boot, under the rear window..

so i had to take the bulb out to turn it off..

any ideas..

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
