None of the climate control buttons (temp up/down, mode, fan, etc) light up when I turn the lights on (a couple of the gauges also don't light, but those globes are easier to find). I am assuming the bulbs are burned out because everything else functions, but being in the US even the Nissan dealer can't tell me what the proper globe part number is to buy replacements.They gave me the part number from a 90 300zx, but it would be a special order without any proof they will be the right size.

If someone can tell me the proper part number for the globes, or possibly a suggestion of what else might cause them all to fail at once I would appreciate it. The part number the dealer gave me was 27613-01p10. A google search only lists the 300zx as a fit for that part number, which makes me question if it will work in a Skyline. Thanks in advance.

well here is the fast diagram, the bulb part number for my VIN is 28529-05U00.

Having said that, it seems unlikely they have all gone at once for no other reason. I've not had that unit in the car for a while but I assume the lights are meant to come on when the headlights do?

If so, which other lights do or don't light up when the headlights do? Dash? Radio? Other dash buttons? It seems more likely a fuse is blown or there is a wiring issue.

I don't have it handy at the moment, but from memory the dash/switch lights come from the taillight fuse because they come on at the same time. From there, there are about a billion joins in the loom and one of those may have failed. They also join through either a pink or green common joiner near the fuse box so something may be missing there as well. either way, you could probably tap into something like the dash's lights and run a wire to the climate control unit if that is the issue.

They're called a T3.

I went to LED's, colour choices and brighter illumination, easily sourced on the net.

Cheap, usually come in a set of 6 so you'll have a few left over.

I went for blue colour thinking it would match the original but no they're too dull.

In Aus we have a forum member who sells all sizes of LEDs but I guess you'd find a source closer to home.

Thanks for all the replies. Turns out a 92 Subaru SVX uses the same bulbs and my dad has one of those as a parts car. That will tide me over until I find better ones online.

As far as all of them going out at once, they have been dead since I bought the car so they very well could have died one at a time and the previous owner just never replaced them.

Edit: Just to add some additional info. All 6 bulbs really were bad. Also 1 of the 3 gauges in the middle cluster and about half the bulbs around the dash are also burned out. Also 1 from the primary gauge cluster. Apparently the previous owner didn't care about interior lights.

One more question. The bulbs around the dashboard (headlight switch, rear defrost, etc) look similar to the T3s in the climate control, but with a much longer "neck". Any ideas what those are? I am not finding any T3s that match. Thanks again.

Here's what I'm gonna be using for my climate control lights.

And those long neck bulbs are 3mm bulbs. So here's what Imma buy. (Bulk sale but cheaper then buying separate )

Just need to remove the old bulb and wire these the same way. Pretty simple. You will love going to LED over regular stock bulbs. So much brighter and cleaner looking.

P.S.

Forgot to add I'm in America so not sure what shipping might be for you or what you may have that's closer lol

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
