Posted May 28, 20177 yr comment_521894 Hi to all - lost lights without blowing a fuse. No longer have dash, tail, parking / driving (side and front), licence plate lights. Headlights, signals, brake and interior lights all work. Any suggestions on what to check - thanks in advance, Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57814-72-240z-light-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 28, 20177 yr comment_521896 How do you know you didn't blow the fuse? Did you check it with a meter? Do you have the correct bulbs in for the side markers, turn signals and tail lights? Inspect for corrosion at the side markers. That will come into play later.

May 28, 20177 yr Author comment_521898 Thanks - everything has been working fine for the past few years. Correct bulbs in lights. Have not checked with meter but will do that. I'll also check the side markers a bit better. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57814-72-240z-light-problems/#findComment-521898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 28, 20177 yr comment_521900 Also, check the 6 wire connector under the dash, specifically at the green/white and green/blue wires. Those are the ones that the parking light switch connects. The reason why I asked about the bulbs is that it is easy to replace the stock bulbs with 1156 and 1157 bulbs. While those bulbs will work in the sockets, they draw more current than the 67 and 1073 bulbs specified by Nissan. The extra current can cause heating at connectors with that one (and the fuse box) being the most vulnerable. The heating can cause damage without blowing the fuse.

May 29, 20177 yr Author comment_521911 Thanks again - I'll have a look at each bulb when I check for corrosion. I didn't know to check the 6 wire connector and will do that first. Will post when it's figured out - thanks again! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57814-72-240z-light-problems/#findComment-521911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
