Hi folks,

Needs a heads up on my dashboard and rear lights not working (headlights and interior lights are working).

- Dimmer is not the problem

- I've checked the fuses under the bonnet near the battery, according to http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthr...2370&page=2 there is an 10A-TAIL L fuse which I can't find in my R32

- I've looked at this http://usagtr.googlepages.com/R32_fuse_box_eng.pdf to check the TAIL LIGHT FUSE and there is no problem

- I've checked the other fuses and they appear to be alright

I'm pretty sure that I need to find the 10A-TAIL L fuse to fix the problem but where is it in the R32?

Many thanks.

hey mate had the same issue not too long ago.. unfortunately this is going to suck for you.. first pull out under dash and check all wires are not dodgey.. mine was a mess and was shorting out my fuses infact turns out my problem was the harness.. i pulled the dash out and my clip was melted.. had to re-wire and resolder the replacement with a new light switch and all was good.. if this is what is happening to yours then you will notice the dash light not working and the rear taillights not working but my brake lights worked.. (they run of the same line mate). hope this helps... cheers..

sorry but i find it unlikely about tail and dash lights running from same power supply as brake lights if thats what you meant. never seen it before and would give no visibilty as night if there was a problem on either circuit.

The dash lights and tail lights run on the same circuit in an R31 skyline. If your tail lights are out, you can't see your dash lights. Not sure on the R32 though.

I've just bought an R32 and I don't have any dash lights. The inner two tail lights are working but the outside ones are off (i'm not sure if they're meant to be on with an R32). Brake lights are working.

Hopefully I can find the problem...

Hey I just got my dash lights working! It was the dimmer switch. I pulled the dimmer switch out and bypassed it by connecting the two wires together. Everything is working sweet now!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
