Hi, I grounded out the wires to the sensors and the gauges stay down. I'm told there is a fuse for these two gauges. where is it? all fuses in the fusebox are OK . car is not a butcher job. it is a 63,000 mile original which has been sitting since the 80s. I drive it every day now with a set of mechanical gauges, but if I can get these two gauges working EVERYTHING will work on the car. Thanks for the help! Dave

OK my tach,fuel gauge,temp and oil preasure as well as the choke light have stopped working a few times in the last couple days. Then they just start working again, wow its the magic Z. In any case this magic is not quite as entertaining as it is a pain in the butt. Any ideas what it could be, the car is a 1974 260z. Thanks Glenn

Car is a 240Z - 10/70 build date (Series 1) What is the circuit marked "common" on the lower right of the fuse block (shown with white arrow in photo) for? Does a fuse belong in this slot?? If so, what amperage?

Folks, Car is 1972 240Z with stock alternator and voltage regulator (mechanical). Yesterday morning I knew the only hope I had of finding a parking spot was in the semi-reserved faculty lot on the top of a ghastly, horribly obsolete, parking garage. Since this involved four complete circumnavigations of the active parking areas with 100s of stressed -out hormonally charged neophyte drivers, I decided to turn on my headlights for safety. It worked, and worked well as when I returned to my car 11 hours later it was dent-free. Not enough juice left in the battery to light up the LED dome light, but at least it didn't get a dent. Got a jump and headed home. As expected, th…

My 280Z has a D6F4-01 distributor. The three leads at the end of it's harness are all the same color of blue, but I at least have them marked as to where they go from when I tore the engine out (they go to the terminal block near the front of the left fender well). My problem is the female half of a bullet connector that leads to a small condenser (which is close to the terminal block for the three blue distributor wires) that I marked "Dist" at the time I pulled the engine. I need to know where the other half of this wire would connect to the distributor.

I have a '70 model, blt. 6/70. The The temp/oil pressure gauge went bad recently. I am having trouble finding a good oil pressure gauge that reads up to 140, like the one in the car now. I have found a known good gauge, but the pressure only goes up to 90 (later model). If I install the later gauge, will it read accurately? If anybody has a good one that read up to 140, let me know. Marty

Ok, so my console has been out for a while while I worked over the carpet and installed a new stereo. So, I have everything ready to go back in and I noticed these single wires with bullet connectors and I cannot remember where some of them go. Here is what I've got: A couple of the wires are solid black. There is a black with a red stripe. There is a Green with yellow stripe. What I do know is that the Green/Yellow stripe wire is for the Ashtray and is probably paired with one of the black wires for a ground. I've got nothing for the other black wire and the black with red stripe wire. I have looked over the wiring until my eyes have crossed. Any clues would be ap…

I'm going to have to take out my ignition tumbler? and have a locksmith rebuild. Key turns to on but won't go over to spin starter. Also turns off after I jump starter with screwdriver. Bought a push button starter switch for now($5 bucks). Does it matter which wire goes to which on solenoid because button switch has no + or -. Hate to burn up something. Thanks.

So I got my Z running after sitting for a while and lately I've noticed at night that when I turn the headlights on, they slowly go dim until I rev the car up. The car has an older battery in it that will hold a charge enough to start it for about a week, could this be the answer to my problem or could it be the voltage regulator? I know it has a good alternator on it too. Also, my turn signals wont work at low idle, only when I rev up slightly they will work. Any ideas of what that could be? Are these problems from the same source? Thanks guys!

I'm a brand new owner, just purchased a 1972 240Z, original motor but seller had replaced distributor, alternator and changed 4-speed to 5-speed all from a 1981 280Z. My tach is not working and I was wondering if any of the 280 replacement parts are to blame and what can I do to get the tach working.

I am trying to go back to a stock coil and resistor set-up on my 73. A previous owner balled-up the wiring for these - looks like he used a piece of an old table lamp power cord to hook things up. I was hoping that someone could snap a picture of their stock set-up so that I know what the wiring ought to like like. Can anyone help?
