R32 Gtr No Dash + Tail Lights

[Ten Four]

As per title, brakes headlights etc all work.

Checked fuses, all seem fine, checked bulbs, again all seem fine.

What is this mysterious dimmer switch everyone is talking about and will it fix my problem?

[timr32gts]

that one! haha

[whitenight27]

there should be a switch on ur dash some were near the steering wheel. it will have a little glob shape on it.

it will roll up and down to make the dash lights brighter.

if its just ur dash thats not working it should fix it

[Ten Four]

Yeah, THAT fuse.

I don't know how to fix it... Farken infuriating cause I just need that done to go over the pits.

Pic of switch?

4:50, his tail lights are so working

James, are you sure you checked all the fuses? I'm sure this thing has to be a fuse.

[Ten Four]

Ain't fuses. Just replaced the tail light one with a brand newy - checked all others = seem ok.

Some R32's don't have a dimmer..Mine doesn't, but according to the wiring diagram there may have been an option..

I don't have a dimmer switch in my GT-R nor did my old 92' GTS-t, but a mates 93' GTS-t has it. Like Heller44 said it might be a factory option.

[NA_Goodness]

I reckon it'd be the plug behind the switch if I was to hazard a guess...

It'll be the light switch itself. Ive just repaired my switch as I was having exactly the same problem! No dash or parkers but had headlights and brake lights...

The little plastic spring loaded triggers in the switch that move the metal contacts wear down giving you the problem youre have right now.

You need to disassemble the switch and replace the worn spring loaded trigger so it once again contacts the metal switch.

Think of the bushes in an alternator, same concept.

There is a thread with pics if you do a Google search, think its on another Skyline forum.

I think he had his foot on the brake.

It was the switch that was causing the problem, the switchs themselves are heaps shit, worst quality to be honest... it burnt my wiring too which was expected, so what i did was went to the wreckers and pulled wiring off a N14 pulsar which connected straight up. obviously had different colours but u do the obvious and take notice what wire goes where before u cut the burnt harness.

Heres a few pictures of the switch for anyone for the future.

Heres the burnt Wiring and Switch photos

And a Computerised Version listing of R32 Parts.

Hope that helps. Got any questions then give a buzz.
