Posted May 24, 200618 yr comment_168616 Hey folks, can somebody help me out?Earlier today as I was working inside the wheel-wells replacing my bumper ends I noticed that someone (probably the crazy 2nd P/O) had completely, cleanly, "snipped" all of the wires from the yellow side-marker lights on the front-end of my car.Can somebody please find me the correct diagram for this and/or tell me where everything should connect to?...Oh, and it might be helpful to know what gauge wire to use. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20173-side-marker-wiring-argh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 24, 200618 yr comment_168641 Matt,Try here: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electrical.htmIt has the color wiring diagram and should sort you out. As far as guage goes, I would use what the originall harness has.

May 24, 200618 yr comment_168685 not sure on the 280Z but it's usually like this...Black is groundGreen w/ white stripe is parking lightsGreen/red is turn signal If there are three wires, one is ALWAYS a ground. One is parking light (turn on the parking light and find that wire. You get the idea.Wiring is pretty damn basic, even in a 76'. Just use the "process of elimination"Hope that helps,Dave.

May 25, 200618 yr Author comment_168725 Thanks for the help Dave, Zak.Part of my question also has to do with the function of those fender-signal lights... are they identical in function to the turn-signals that face front?I just want to make sure that when I get 'em wired up I know they're working correctly.

May 25, 200618 yr comment_168731 Part of my question also has to do with the function of those fender-signal lights... are they identical in function to the turn-signals that face front?No, they are the same as the parking lights. They do not flash with the turn signals. (At least, not as wired by the factory.)
