72240Z

Thank you for the responses. I have passed on the information to my brother and suggested he join the forum also. Devin

My 72 240z is leaving in about 2 weeks to go live with my brother in Norway for the forseeable future. I've spent the last 2 years getting it prepped for this, and thought we had found a way around Eroupean laws as an imported vehicle. Evidently that is allowed for show only and must have amber turn signals to be legal on the road. I found at the beginning of this process somebody who was reproducing them, but cannot find the site now. I would prefer an original set but at this point I need something that will be legal. Help! Devin

Finally got it all figured out I think. Including all of the above I had somehow managed to connect the ground side of the blower motor to constant ground, not through the switch. Turns put there is a deceptive wire in the right place. Devin

The thing that bugs me is that all this worked fine before I took it apart and was very careful to only use the factory wires for the radio install. Now I've wasted my entire day chasing my tail on irelivant stuff that should have been out to better use.

Well my last test for the day I found where ground was coming into the switch and jumped from there to where it goes out to the blower. I turned the key on and the blower didn't run but after a few seconds the fuse popped. I'm done for the day but still looking for ideas Thanks Devin

Dome fuse was popped... Map light now works but blower is still on any time the ignition is on. I have continuity from the black wire coming off the switch to the ground connector at the blower

And the blower motor won't turn off! I'm so sick of fighting this dash!

Agg still fighting it. The lead for the map light is supposed to be constant hot isn't it?

The inline fuse took care of the problem. I just assumed it wasn't factory. Devin

After what seemed an endless search I found an inline fuse that I presume was not factory installed and it was blown. Blower now works. On to other problems

I'm not sure what I did but I have my heater control assembly apart to install an aftermarket stereo and when I went to put it all back together I found that my blower motor won't work. I can't find any power going through the switch itself so I'm guessing that it controls the ground side. When I check at the motor only getting .15 volt at the red wire. I must have disconnected something but can't find it for the life of me. Any ideas? Thanks, Devin

Did a search prior to posting. Evidently didn't look in the right place or use the proper terms. Thank you for the link. Devin

My rear defroster in my 72 doesn't work. I understand this is a common problem with the lines breaking down in the glass over the years. I've checked mine, and have 12v at the connectors but no continuity through the circuit in the glass. Is there a way to repair this or am I looking at new glass? It has not been a problem for me, but I'm preparing to send the car to Norway where it gets a bit cold! Devin

I was searching for one a while back for my 72 and never did find one. Fortunately I'm not in need at this time, but I'm shipping the car overseas to my brother and he wanted all that kind of stuff replaced. I'd still be up for a group buy if somebody would make one available. I'm not on here a whole lot but would appreciate an email if that happens. hotrod64chevy@yahoo.com Thanks, Devin

I'd like to hear how the install goes on the one from Black Dragon. I've been out of the Z world for a number of years so good sources are unknown to me. I'd still prefer OEM so if somebody has an NOS piece feel free to contact me. Devin
