Hello my name is Hartley i ma from South Australia And i am currently in Year 11 working 2 jobs and Studding a Crt 2 in Auto motive Trade and servicing through TAFE 

I have just Purchased a 1989 Nissan Silvia with a 1.8 CA18DE, for $5300. Since purchase we have found out that there is problems with wiring on the night of the purchase we noticed that there were many switches underneath the searing wheal right near the fuses. With all our checks and looks we believe that due to the Doors dropping it has short circuited something but we are not sure Looking for Help.

Welcome Hartley.

:welcome:

I think you're going to need to be more specific with the problems and your suspicions. Eg, why did the doors drop? What do the switches look like? What are the actual problems experienced?

Yea i think you may be correct, There is a Viper security system inside. But i dont think the alarm is the problem. I will have a look and try disconnected everything that  is not necessary.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
