Car ran for about 50 miles then the tach jumped around and the car died will not restart. Put a rebuilt 79 electronic distributor in with a new E-1280 module. Wirring is correct. I even went as far as to energize the coil with 12 volts from the battery still no spark? Curious as to the relay on the firewall? Should i have to do anything with that doing this conversion? Car is a 73 240Z. Any help greatly appreciated :rambo:

I keep blowing 20amp fuses in the fuse box. when I blow a fuse the turn signals on the dash don't work, temp/oil guage, and the horn does't work. I went through 2 fuses today, definitely a problem. What should I do to fix the problem. DeeDee

Anyone know the circuitry for the electric door locks. I can't find anything on the circuit diagrams I have been able to locate. This for 81-83 280zx. it appears that there is some kind of latchup relay in the dash someplace cause the switch on driver door pulses current out through two differrent wires depending on lock/unlock. passenger door seems to reverse current when it lock/unlock but only two wires going there. Trying to put electric lock on a 81 w/parts from 83 junker. got the door switches and they work as I hooked them up to my working 83 as a test but not sure of the connecting wiring needed.

Howdy. My alt has an internal short, showing battery voltage across the fusible link connectors (link removed), and so I got a new one after a test showed that the internal diode was bad. Connected the new alternator up as in the pic. Again, it showed the same internal short across the fusible link. ARGH. help? Is it possible that the condenser is at fault and how/where do I get a new one if it is? Thanks!

Did a recent conversion as per this forum on a 72 240Z. Ordered a rebuilt 79ZX Distributor with a E12-80 module wired everything up car ran great tach worked. Ran about 50 miles as i was driving the car the tach started jumping around the car sputtered and died and will not restart? Check all connection everything is tight also check power to the coil it has power on both the positive and negative side of the coil and does not flash with a test light uipon cranking of the engine? Do these E12-80 module have a tendancy to fail? Am i overlooking something? :surprised Any help would be great. Thanks

I don’t have a hazard switch/cant find one…and the turn signal power runs though the hazard. So I connected the 2 center green wires in the wiring diagram for the turn signals. Now the turn signals work correctly when I click left or right but when it’s in the center both flash (on the turn signal flasher…. NOT the hazard flasher…I have 2 different flashers so I can heard the difference) It shouldn’t be too hard but what do I need to do to prevent it from flashing when centered? (IE how dose the hazard switch allow power to go to the left and right but not when centered when hazard switch is off?)

Is it possible to use a 72 wiring harness in a 71 240z with little to no problems? I recently got my 71 and the wiring is a MESS... so i went to the junkyard and got a complete unmolested harness from a 72 complete with fusebox. I only got the rear harness and the dash harness though.

Hey Guys, I'm confused about my turn signal lights. The front and rear turn signal lights (both left and right) will illuminate when I actuate the turn signal lever but they won't flash.....the left pair when the lever is down and the right pair when it is up.... However, all will flash as normal when I activate the hazard warning switch. So I would think this proves the wiring to be OK. I have replaced the turn signal flasher. I have also removed the turn signal switch and cleaned it several times with contact cleaner. Prior to this cleaning effort the turn right hand turn signal lights wouldn't even come on.. So.....I'm guessing that I may have some corroded wiring …

Hey guys. Due to me not being able to handle this stuff for a while, I'm not going to be the contact for the alternator adapters. Please forward any further orders to David Irwin - Zs-ondabrain. Thanks for all your support.

I am having a heck of a time getting my fuse box and center dash wiring sorted, does anyone have a photo of where the Series 1 fuse box wiring harness is routed, and also where the defroster switch plugs into on the harness. My car is a 3 of 70 production. Thanks, Eric
