Hey everybody, Rockr69 here with yet another type of fusible link conversion. The donor car is an 86 Maxima (trying to keep it in the family) I found while cruising my local pull and save. I know its not a maxi fuse type of box, but it works for me and I got a bunch of extra links while i was there. Not that i think I should need them, but who knows? Any way here are the pics. What I really like about this conversion is that it ended up looking bone stock!

any ideas why my car keeps drying out batteries? I was having charging issues a few weeks back where the battery kept drying out. I replaced the battery cuz it was old anyway & today the new 1 is dry. It's only at the most 3 weeks old so I'm thinking it's the car.

I have searched all over for the blower motor to switch wiring harness jumper . My manuals do not cover it or any thing Ive come across . I've replaced the entire loom , rebuilt the combination switch (signal & wiper), added headlight relay, electric cooling fan & relay , etc. The problem is the used loom is missing the jumper (6 blade to 6 blade + ?) from motor to switch. I would really appreciate a diagram , picture , or schematic that details it out for me ! Thanks in advance for your time. Tom

I own a 1983 280ZX, non turbo. I removed my AFM and found a stray wire. I traced it back to a little cylinder mounted beside my ignition coil. The left side of the cylinder has a wire that enters the harness beside the ignition coil leads. The end of the wire is a female that needs a flat prong to connect. Any idea what the cylinder is and where the wire is supposed to attach?

So, I am heading down the highway on the way home from work, exit the off ramp as per usual and at the stop light, I notice smoke coming from the hole for the turn signal. Holy :tapemouth ! (I think to myself in an oh-so-calm manner...) So I cut the lights and it does not seem to go away, so naturally I blow on it. Am I attempting to start the fire or stop it??:stupid: After a bit and a lot of watching, said smoke goes away. I watched this damn thing more than the road I think, it never reappeared. A few miles from home, I key on the parking lights, still nothing. Ok, try the headlamps. Still no smoke. I get home find the nearest phillips and remove the plastic upper …

While driving my car the other night (73 240) the connector for the ignition wire coming off the solenoid disconnected (it's in bad shape). Anyway, the car died, I found the prob, reconnected it & it started back up fine. My problem now is the lights went all wierd. 1st all exterior lights worked & all but the temp/oil gauge inside. I turned the lights off then on again & it started working again. Then within a matter of minutes ALL exterior lighting went out. Also all of the gauges except the speedo & volt/fuel are now out. The T/S & hazzards also. What is goin on? I thought it might be the combo switch & went to swap it with another I have but, i…

Well, I was driving on the freeway, and it was VERY VERY HOT OUTSIDE. I decided to turn my car around and head home for the day. I was sitting at a stoplight and when i took off, my car made a HUGE backfire and all of a sudden all my gauges except for my MPH gauge went out. I looked at the fuse box and the third down from the left top was blown. I put a new 20 amp in there and turned the car back to on, and then bam it went out again! What's going on here guys? Did a wire blow up and now i got a short? Please help me!

HI, my name is Ryan and I'm working with a friend on a couple of 1972 240z's. These cars are awesome and fun to work on. The problem we're having with one is that we can get it to start fine, but in order to keep it running we have to hold the key just past the on position. Not engaging the starter, in between the on and start position. As soon as we let the key go and it goes back to the on position the engine dies. We already tried switching out the key switches on the steering column and that didn't work. Also checked fuses but may just try replacing some, just in case. Any help would be great. Thanks Ryan

O.K. I've read dozens of threads on blower motor problems . They seem to deal mostly with 240 's . I have a ' 75 280 and the fan will turn if I apply an external power source. Will not turn with the switch My console wiring is a bit of a mess dry rotted connecters.. and a few cut wires. I was wondering if the blower motor was suppsed to have an inline fuse holder under the console like the earlier models? I have looked over the wiring diagram for the 280Z and I cannot see a fuse holder , assume it would be shown. Um I also have the little rotary control over my right knee for the air conditioning, once again I have no wiring for this.. are these units linked and that…
