My power windows dont work and the person I bought the car from said it was probubly a fuse because they went out at the same time. I have looked in the manual and I there isnt a fuse that is for the power windows. The person that sold me my car also had put in a new radio, and took it out and put in the original radio/tape before he sold it to me. The cigarette lighter and tape player dont work at all, and the antenna isnt connected, so the radio is hardly functional. Could the wiring to the windows have something to do with the radio? Like does the wiring for the power windows go through that general area? Also, someone mentioned that the windows may work on some kind…

First off i drive a 1985 300zx with 140,000 miles on it. I had a problem a couple weeks ago where my car would bog out when i gave it gas. I brought it to my mechanics and they hooked up a fuel pressure tester to find there was low fuel pressure. They put a new fuel pressure regulator in and it seemed to work for a day or so. A couple days after i had what seemed to be the same problem but it was stalling out at idol which had never happened before. I belive this issue could be something to do with the spark now and the spark plug amplifier was very hot and is starting to melt and crack. If anyone could help me on what they think it might be i would appreciate it greatly…

Hey guys, I had my 1973 240z repainted about a month ago, and I am having an electrical problem. It seems like there is some spot that is drawing current from the car on and off. When driving I can look at my ammeter and usually it is a little bit past half way, but now after paint, it is about 3/4 of the way to the right. Everynow and then, it will go back in the other direction about 1/8 of the way over to the left, it will cause my headlights to flicker dim. When that happens, everything seems to have power sucked from it, the blower motor slows down, and my lights will go dim. My question is there a place that i can check that maybe the guy at the body shop might…

I'm wondering what might be going on, as I have no clue. My Z had been sitting for about a month and over the pass week I had to jump it a couple times and it seemed as though the battery was not holding a good charge. Yesterday, just to make sure, I charged it up, drove the car for about an hour and this morning went out to start it and got no power - not ever guage lights. I then proceeded to go and get a new battery - but after putting the new battery in, the same thing happens. I've checked the most obvious things - the cables are connected to the right terminals ( and both cables are fairly new as well), the starter is also fairly new. Any ideas on where I should loo…

Will a 1975 Datsun 280z Tachometer work just fine in a 1971 Datusn 240z? Mine isn't reading correctly, and is getting stuck so I am in the market for one that works. My tach, the yellow line starts at 6.5k with red line starting at 7k. This one, the yellow line starts at 6k with red line starting at 6.5k both showing a max of 8k. I hope that this one works. I like that this ones yellow line starts out at 6k as the peak HP ends at 5.6k.

Im back to messing around on the Z after taking a leave for a bit. New home and kid have swayed me far away from the luxury of wrenching anytime I want. Starting back on the car now tho. One thing I cant figure out is why my battery keeps loosing charge. Only thing I could really think of, and is on my mind, is the horn button pad from my aftermarket wheel, the little pressure extension on the backside of the attachment is not touching, I need to bend it out more I guess. This is from the GT wheel motorsport Z sells. Anyhow, dont see how that would drain my battery so fast if at all. I loose charge every couple days and Im kind of lost atm due to being away from th…

Hey folks, Here's the idea: I picked up a new aftermarket fuse bus and would like to connect it to a reliable ignition switched source. I'll be connecting accessorries such as the rad. fan, stereo and other items to it that only need to be used when the motor / ignition is on. What's a high-load source I can tap into? I'm not too experienced with auto electrics(know basics) and don't want to hose anything. I've already made my heater blower quit working(fuses are good) by connecting the radiator fan into the harness(still haven't fixed this...not sure where to start) and don't want to do more damage.

Had removed one of the taillight bulb sockets from the socket holder and removed the bulb. The bulb was lite when I took it out. When I replaced the bulb I had turned it 180 degrees and it lite up twice as bright as it was originally. Because of the two offset pins on the side of the bulb it will only go in one way, the least bright way. Why brighter one way than the other? Do I need new bulbs? Thanks.

$50 for a used unknown to be working 1980zx with E12-80 module distributor. Pulled from a wrecked ride. If it doesn't work are they cheap to fix? Or $70 for a 1981-1983 N/A Distributor with E12-92 module that looks brand new and works and then $50 for the E12-80 module. Plus can this combo even work?

Give me some thoughts on this little situation. My headlights worked. I swear !I even passed inspection this time last year. When I turn combination switch to first position park lights come on, o.k. so thats good. Twist a notch further the park lights stay on, but no headlights . thats odd! Pull back on turn signal , no brights either. this is not good Fuses looked o.k. replaced them anyway. Still no headlights. removed drivers side light check for power - nothing all three contacts register Zilch! . Fuseable links have continuity to both sides? Hazards work, and the turn signals work HMMM.. Combination switch again? or high low beam turn signal? O.K. I'm baffled . Help…
