Hey guys, bit of an odd one - The tail lights in my r34 won't turn off - NOT the brake lights, i've had the rubber stopper problem in the past, the brake lights function perfectly fine. 

I've checked all over the internet and it seems like a really uncommon problem - wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot it -i'm thinking potentially it has something to do with my headlight stalk? But in all my years of owning these cars i've never had this problem.

Would love any ideas on things to try - I cant really drive the car if I have to disconnect the battery every time I park it.

Cheers,

Do you have the wiring diagram? If not, get it.


You got a link to one mate? I've just had a look, and even unplugged the headlight switch and they're still on.

Only diagram I could find online seemed to be pointing to a tail lamp relay which I don't believe actually exist lol

Sounds like you might have a short circuit somewhere (short to power) 

i havent had a 34 before but some of my other cars mainly subaru had a seperate switch that activates the parkers (tails) when the car was off. 

edit: have you checked the foglight switch???

Hey @OSH1FT how did you go with fixing the issue?

I’ve just come across the same thing with my 34. Tail lights are on, along with my dash lights and the headlight warning beeper. Headlights are operating fine.

 

 

 

Did you find the issue for yours?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
