Like the owner's manual says it does. Or are they supposed to? Not a huge deal, but it would be convenient... It turns on and off in the conventional manner. Before I start investing any time in this, are 280Z dome lights intended to stay on for a bit once the car is shut off/door opened etc.?

Hi guys, I went through the wiring diagram a few times and need your input. a. 1976 280z - I studied the wiring diagram for 1976 and it looks like a lot of wires' colors are wrong coded. I am trying to determine what the cut wire is in Picture1. I am assuming this 6 wire plug is for the whole engine harness? On my car's diagram I can't find the Green with Red stripe wire (BE-94). b. My water temp/oil pressure/voltage gauges don't work. The water temp gauge goes to maximum indicator position. The FSM suggests ignition relay, voltage regulator and bridging the thermal transmitter's yellow wire to see if the gauge's needle fluctuates. I checked the continuity off the t…

Ok I have my fathers 1983 280zx and need to get the turn signals to work now I have changed the Relay on the drivers side. And went all through the car tracing wires from the back. They all look good. Now the hazards work but I can't get the turn signals to work. Please help I don't know what to do. My husband thinks it is funny when I am working on cars but I want to do it my self. He sits with me and rally just watches. Now I will be getting in the repair manual tomorrow but not sure it will cover this repair.:stupid:

So wiring with ez harness, I have a hot running to the green blue wire on the combo switch when switched it puts power to my green white wire which runs threw its stock locations IE the gauge's and then is spliced into the running lights. Note it is spliced into the red blue wire also running to the gauge's. I have a hot at the green blue wire when I turn on the circuit the fuse blows. So I took the dimmer switch out of the equation and still fuse blows as soon as I turn on the circuit. Headlights work however the dash lights and the running lights do not come on. Now I have in the past had the running lights working with a different wiring configuration however no dash l…

Hi I have a 72 zed (very much a project) and an 84 Nissan 720 pickup 2.4 L engine. Neither are my daily driver. The alternator in the truck went a few years ago, and I purchased a new one. When I was putting it in, I being stupid at the time did not disconnect the battery and got a huge spark touching the alternator to a live wire. I figured I may have fried it. After I put the alternator in, my battery warning light came on dimly and constant. So out of frustration, I took the alternator out of the zcar and it fit. Although the light came on dim as well. I eventually stuck the new alternator into the 240z and it seems to be ok. I am actually quite surprised by this. I a…

I just bought an alternator for the 75 280Z. I got the Alt for a 82ZXT internally regulated of course 60AMP. I am not in need of it yet but have noticed a flux in voltage when driving so I am preping for when it does go out. My question for this thread is. 1. Is there a way to ugrade the insides of the Alternator to get a max output of voltage. I do have an Alt shop close by but he's not the best guy to talk with. I also don't want to spend the 100 or so for the other guys super AMP alternator.

Does anyone use a light/combo switch on their 76 from a 77 Datsun? I found a seller, but he is not sure if it will fit mine. What bugs me most with these electrical Datsun deals is how fast the company was changing connectors. And, will the plastic top/bottom steering column covers for the switch from '77 fit my '76 280z? Thank you! Den

Hi all, I am about to swap an '83zx engine and 5 speed into the 240z (will swap my SU setup to the L28) and was wondering if anybody has used this connector/plug to do the conversion to the '83 electronic ignition. It seems like a very clean and simple way to go. The other question is "can I buy this outright from one of our vendors"? I would rather buy it than bid on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150244546727&rd=1 Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Tim
