k, on my 71 240Z, only one headlight works (left). the other doesn't. so i went to where the bad light connects to the plug that goes into the wiring harness and disconnected it, then removed the whole light from the bucket. i then went to the other headlight, and disconnected it. I plugged the other light in its place, and it didn't work. so i figured the light was bad. but i was bored last night, and connected a 9 volt battery to the connector on the light, and it lit up (although pretty dim). is this just the flasher filament working? also, i noticed the light had some broken glass in it, and there was a chip on the INSIDE of the lens. am i mistaken, or do i need a ne…

my 71 240Z has no tail/brake lights or turn signals. i know the lights themselves aren't to blame, cuz when i turn the hazard lights on, the turn signals and the brake lights work. the reverse lights work as well. could the problem be @ the combination switch? the turn signals don't work when I use that.

Once again, In my efforts to customize my 74 I am looking for the unobtainable...Does anyone have any idea where I can find European style headlights, taillights and turn signals....There is a company called"Crystal" that I've seen on ebay that even had blue parking lights built into the headlight assembly and I know that MSA used to carry sosme but i just don't know where to turn...Also, I keep hearing about Japanese style lights but I have no idea what they look like..Do they use xenon type bulbs..? Please help.. Thanks in advance

Just the other day I attempted to change the backlight bulb on my 240. Either the installer was in the movie "Who shrunk the kids" or I just have fat fingers. Any advice on how to replace that minature bulb? Thanks in advance..

Does anyone know what the ignition interlock does on a 74 260? The car seems to be starting without this box being connected. Any Idea what this is and what it does. How about running without it? Louie.

I've got a 74 260 with all kinds of problems. A few years back I had a 73 240 and the only problem I had was a bad alternator. I have not started on my other 74 so I am not sure if it has any electrical issues. Is this one area of weakness for Nissan? We shouldn't discount it as an age issue because I have two older cars without electrical problems. Louie

Most of the wiring problems are being located but we still have trouble with the signal lights. Four way(emergency) flashers work but the only way we can get the turn signals to work is to send a direct hot wire to the flasher and disconnect the emergency flasher switch. Lots of spare parts were included with my car so we are trying everything. Any ideas? Louie.

Ok I have a 1973 240Z with an L28 in it I was driving down the road when it died and smoke came from the engine compartment. What I think happened is my altinator when bad and It then fried 2-3 wires the red and white one and a solid white one Both very big wires. So this is what I have done so far obviously I have a new altinator (is the voltage Reg in it??) and I have pulled the Dash out because It burn in places all the way to my Votage gage in the dash. So here is the ??? what should I do 1. take the whole wireing harness out and run those 2 wires new (would not cost to much but would be a bit or work.) 2. Get a whole Wireing harness and put it in.(this seems like…
