hey everyone,

just a bit of concern here, last nite i was dropping a friend off at home, anyway once i dropped him off i noticed like a zap from where my head unit should be (i havent put it in yet) and then all the lights on my dash switched off, my boost guage light switched off also.

the headlights were still in working order and the guages were still working, but they would not light up..

any ideas what could have happened? i'd appreciate any feedback..

BTW. its a series 2 r33

You probably have a live feed for the head unit illumination floating around in the space. It's zapped itself to earth and frazzled the fuse.

well there is currant running through the wires because i can hear it winding as i accelarate.. i changed the fuse..

my clock now lights up again which didnt before hand..

however, my parkers are not working or lighting up now..

would i better better off taking it to an auto elec?

99% sure it would be a fuse.

check ur fuse box undnerneath ur steering wheel.

check alll the fuses, not just the relevent ones

sounds stupid

but somethign similar happened to my friend, he had a professional check the relevent fuses and found no problems. i had a look. randomly pulled out the "engine" fuse (this is in a 93 corolla) and sure enough the fuse was broken and a easy fix

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
