Ok so i've read through some old posts and here is what I think may be important to note with regard to my brake lights. To begin with I've checked all fuses and I'll double check them again soon but I replaced 1 blown one. This has not got the brake lights working. The flashers work fine and the parkers light up on both sides, I've just double checked that all wires are connected at the back of the car because I've been installing a stereo recently and think i may have disturbed something while doing this. It's just the actual depress of the pedal that gives no results all other lights on the car work. Im out of ideas unless it's the actual switch at the brake pedal.…

Why is it that we never hear about ---I was cleaning the connectors on my 30 + year old wiring harness------We hear--- this doesn't work --.If you can touch a factory connector ,unplug it in and out again and again,shine is fine.The wire won't fail it will be at a connection point.How many times have you overlooked the opportunity during a rebuild?

First off I have searched and read as many posts as I can about cleaning the connectors on the turn signal switch but no answers to which I'm looking for. My right blinker works fine (lights up on dash/front signal light/back signal light) but my left blinker only works on the rear signal light. When the blinker is in the left position I can hear the flasher working but the light on the dash and the front signal light does not work (doesn't even come on solid). When I flip the hazard switch all of the lights work (and flash) on the dash, front signals, and back signals. Anybody have any clue?

Looking for help with my 5/71's dash lights. Since i've owned the car, going on three years the lights never worked. When switched on the running lights will come on but not the gauge lights. There is power at the lead RED/Blue to the rheostat. But when I tried to probe the leads I broke the lead that went to two Red/Blue wires, which are reading ground. This lead should turn into Red/yellow for the gauge lights. But I never got power at the Red/yellow terminals. When power was induced to the two Red/Blue terminal leading out of the rheostat the logic probes circuit breaker cut in. Does any one have any idea as to what the hell is going on with my lights. Has any one had…

this problem comes in and out but I keep losing constant current through my car. The volt gauge shows zero with the car in off or the accessories position and my stereo wont turn on without the car on. Anybody have some suggestions? I have recently changed the alternator (2 weeks ago) so I don't think that is the problem. Thanks

Whats the best source for a voltage regulator for a 72 240? I see Victoria British has them for $24.95, but in my search of prior posts I read they sent a wrong one. Just last month VB sent me a different part than I ordered. Besides, I can't believe they are the least expensive. Is there some other merchant I should be giving my business to?

Does anyone have any idea as to why my amp meter fluctuates and all the lights brighten and then dim repeatedly when at idle and then it dissapears when I raise the engine rpm? My first guess is a combination of alternator and voltage regulator. Am I on the right track? Please help me!!!

could you guys please help. iv'e lined up the timing marks and installed the dist at tdc. it sparks and times properly. the only way to get it to run is to turn the dist 1/4 turn--and then it runs cruddy. when at tdc and aligned the points are completely closed because it is on the flat part of the dist rotor-am i missing something other than sleep. thanks .steve:ermm: :ermm: sawilliamsmontreal@hotmail.com

This is my first question as I learn about this new toy of mine. '81 280ZX 2+2. After buying it, driving it home, and around for three weeks, suddenly she went all black when turning the key from ON to START. Everything electrical goes dead. Several friends said look at the starter. Pulling it is no big deal, and I found out it wasn't coming all the way out, and was grinding the teeth on the starter pretty bad, so I bought a completely new one, solenoid included. But, the problem still is the same. Let's see what ideas are out there. Even though I have worked on million dollar high speed machinery, older car restoration and repair is very new to me. I will probab…
