R34 Left Brake And Hi-Stop Lights Not Working

I've just noticed last night that my left brake light and my hi-stop light has both stopped working, now I'm left with just my right one.

The left rear park light (is that what it's called?) is still working, just not lighting now with I hit the brakes.

Since it was getting dark already I didn't have too much time to have a real good look.

But I did check both the fuse boxes in the engine bay and by the accelerator, and both the fuses that related to the tail lights looked good (I only check under a torch, not with a multimeter).

And I pulled the left lights out and again did a visual check on the bulb, it looked good.

So now I m stumped, I will check the wiring/plugs after work today, but since the park light is working, I doubt anything is wrong with the plug.

And it's odd that both the left and hi-stop both stopped working.

The only thing I can think of is that the wiring has shorted/burnt etc.

Just hoping someone here may have some ideas, and can point me in a direction to look solve this.

Thanks

Ironically the same thing has just happened to me too. I noticed it about 30min ago when the Mrs was in the car... I havn't done anything to the car lately to 'cause' it too, so it's a bit weird.

I'm hoping it's something easy too. If I sort it out, I'll post back with what was my issue.

I just had a play with mine now and got it working...it was just a blown bulb (T10 wedge) luckily I had some spare led ones and they worked like a charm.

Ant, I'm assuming yours will be the same problem.

Obviously you have to get to the tail lights (remove the carpet in the boot, undo 5 screws on the right side and she should just pull out and 4 screws on the left...)

quite often they dont look blown, but if you hold it up to a light and flick it you may see the filament shake around

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
