R32 Gtr Electrical Problem Please Help

[krayzie32]

Heres the deal my car has been in storage for more than a year...

Recently got it ready for the 21st anniversay cruise...

Went to drive it home from Storage and notice no Lights everywhere!!!!

I mean everywhere...

Such as no headlights, dash lights, reverse lights, brake lights aircon lights, radio lights, Also windows wipers/windows/and mirrors arent working im sure its something simple as its very rare for every fuse to just go...

Also the only thing that actually works on the dash is the fuel guage...

Speedo & revs dont work, indicators dont work hazards dont work, high beams dont work etc etc etc

Checked every fuse/connector plug in/behind dash under dash in bay...

All ok...

Maybe someone knows abit more...

Tomorrow will be attacking every connector with electrical contact cleaner...

Will see if that helps at all...

Thing is Car turns on and runs perfectly fine other wise...

Maybe its on central point...

Does anyone have a manual with the lighting wiring diagram...

Thung is all the lights flash when alarm/immobiliser is activated or deactivated...

if the alrm makes the lights work then i would be looking for a fuse or link somewhere. check em all. all the dash lights and switch lights will be fused with park lights. headlights will be another circuit. hopefully its simple but i have fixed a few harnesses before where the mice or rats have been gnawing on the insulation. that cant be tasty but they love it. if so the wires could have blown the fuse from that. make sure the fuses for these circuits have power at the fuse also dont just check the fuses

Is there a link for all the lights & everything electrical, that has nothing to do with engine/fuel side of things...

No headlights, parkers, high beams, reverse, park, brakes, reading, door, cigarette lighter, roof, or boot lights work.

No power windows, electric mirrors,

no centre guages, a/c lights, radio,

no dash lights/speedo/rpm meters, engine light, revs, water/oil temp...

Nothing at all,

turn on/off the alarm all seems ok...

Maybe alarm???

I have a similar problem with my GTR as it only gets driven a couple of times a year.

On investigation it appears as though the alarm has its own back up battery which the alarm manufacturer recommends changing on a yearly basis (I have had the car now for 4 years and have not changed it) so I am going to first find and then replace this battery.

The fact that all of the lights work when your alarm turns on/off I would suggest that you may have a similar problem.

Piss off spammer...

Anyways, i found it to be a combination of weak battery & bad alternator,

everythings fine when getting jump started...

But when leads are removed, batterys no longer getting charged and battery slowly discharges wjile running...

So unfortunately have to miss out on tomorrows cruise...

which is sad as im sure i would have won a prize...

get a new battery or recharge the battery, the alternator might still be ok but the system needs a minimum of 9 volts to work correctly.
