Hey

ive installed led tail lights into my r34 today [ bday present from my gf ] but only the brake light works when i step the brake, the rest of the time they stay off, ive opened the fuse box and replaced the fuse but it keeps blowing. right now all my dash lights dont work along with my park lights.

has anyone else had this problem? i have put the stock 10 in but that blew so i tried 15 but it didnt last a second kept trying to the 25 and that last a second then it just blew. these tail lights are new and if i cant get them working tonight ill take it back to the store tomorrow

can someone please leave some input on how to resolve this or if your a auto sparky thats free on this crappy friday night i could really use your help

Thanks

lol @ the 25amp fuse. i hope it didnt melt the harness!

its blowing coz theres a short, a higher rated fuse wont help, and ur going from bulbs to leds so ur new tail lights will actually draw less current then your old ones. u'll never need anything higher then a 10amp

id help u out but im going to bed soon ive got work in the morning and ive still gotta find out if my car is a write off or repairable - yay for 3grand excess!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
