'71 240Z- HELP!!!

I disconnected the relay box (right next to you left knee) that has three green wires going into it and now I cannot remember what order they land on the terminals.

there are three total: (1) green/black stripe;(1)green/red stripe and (1) green only.

Anyone know the proper order? what the heck does this box do anyway?

Possibly related: my stop lights do not light up nor do the rear hazard flashers work. Is this related?

AHHHHHHHH !@!@ can't pass inspection

The only thing I see in the electrical diagram with that color combo is the horn relay. Not sure which way it is mounted so that I would know which way the wires are connected but the G/R shows in the center with the G on the right and G/B on the left. Guess you could hook up the G/R in the center position and try the others one way then the other till the horn works.

Doubt it is related to your taillight problem, but it sounds like that might possibly be a ground problem at the rear if the front signals work when you use the flashers.

My Z was produced on 12/71, and the single relay just above the hood latch is identified with the letters H, B, and S at the plug-in points.

H = solid green wire

B = green wire with a red stripe

S = green wire with a black stripe

Well, that settles that.... was going to go out and look under the dash of mine but hated to pull all the parts out of the way to get under there....

Hmm, looks like I had the order right too.... what a guess huh?

You don't mention if you are having trouble with the turn signals at the rear also.

The turn signals, the stop lights and the hazard lights all use the same element in the rear bulbs. Depending on what circuit is live is what you will get at the back.

Is your Hazard Flasher in place and working? If it isn't, you have an open circuit there that may be the problem.

thanks for all the help.....yes rear turn signals are working. rear reverse lights are working.rear hazard flashers and brake lights do not work when activated. I just replaced the stop switch and it still does not work.

any suggestions?thoughts?

[EScanlon]

Two places those wire pairs come together; the hazard switch and the combination switch.

Check those two out.

Enrique and everyone-

problem solved; there was quick disconnect that was disconnected intow places. One next to the hazard switch thus completeing the rear taillight circuit and one behind the stereo that was disconnected which engaged the rear stop lights.

thanks to all for your help this room is the best!!!
