Hey all new owner here from the states. 

Just received my RS FOUR S last week. Went to replace some interior bulbs with LEDs this morning and after changing the first map light bulb I lost all lights to the map lights in front of the rear view mirror, middle dome light, rear trunk light and also the ring light around the ignition. They do not work manually, when the keyless entry is used or when you open the door.

 

Everything else is still functioning like the head lights, fog lights, cluster, radio etc.

I tried replacing the LEDs with the original bulbs but no luck.

 

I replaced every fuse in the under dash fuse box to be safe, most looked original but none busted. While changing the fuses I noticed the TCM box was loose and could wiggle it around. Not sure if it's related or I just shorted something out while replacing the bulbs. I foolishly did not disconnect the battery prior.

 

At a loss here, couldn't find any similar cases to mine. I will try to check for continuity tomorrow as a last resort.

 

Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you're not good with a multimeter, take it to an auto-electrician. There's no way that we're going to be able to guess what you've done wrong from the other end of the inter-pipes, and it's going to take diagnosis effort to find out.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
