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...

 

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...

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
