problems solved! the blinker assy is from a different year - only 3 wires ( power from flasher , left, right ) instead of 6 ( power from the flasher, power from the brakes, left front, right front, left rear, right rear ). the front and rears were connected together, power from the flasher connected then they'd run a separate wire to the back to power the brake lights. that line gets pretty warm when connected so i'll add an inline fuse to that for the moment and see if i can fix the mechanical issue on the correct year blinker assy i have. as for the lights issue - the white/red is connected directly to the battery with an in-line fuse - which was blown. thanks again everybody for your help on this one.

i'll have to clip some zip ties to track it, it goes into the wrapped bundle of wires - its 14GA, so i don't think its for the high beam indicator.

escanlon, the red/white hot wire i mentioned is in addition to the red/white return from the highbeams ( that one is connected ). so i have a red/white 14GA hot wire that was not previously connected to anything. thing is i don't see any additional red/white wires anywhere in the schematic. ( there are at least a half dozen unconnected wires under my dash..... )

well, there's also a red/black taped off in the bundle as well..... this going to take a bit of figuring.

i had to replace the blinker side of the switch (A), it was mechanically sloppy, so i swapped it out with another (B - year unknown) which worked OK for a while then the left signal wouldn't work. pulled it and it turned out to be mechanically sloppy and i couldn't figure out a way to correct it. i took switch A and fixed it and now i'm in the process of putting it back in when all the problems began. and i just found a thick gauge hot wire (red/white) taped off in the wire bundle, but according to the schematic that should just lead to the headlights and shouldn't have any voltage.... and again i thank everyone for their help on this one, its very confusing. A B

sorry, i got 14GA, which is same diameter as the white/red line - 3.4mm

yes, i will connect it to the white/red line that connects to the back of the ammeter - using this schematic

the wiring looks to be a bit of a kluge... picked up some 16GA wire, and i'll hook it to the fuse box.

thanks for all the input! switch does work, there's just no juice in the white/red wire. it looks like the switch is from a later model car, ( mine is VIN 5535 ), so i found the correct schematic - and yes it should wire to the ammeter and fuse box! no idea what that black wire is, but its connected directly to the white/red, so its not a ground!

OK, here's a tricky one, i have a 70 240Z, i may or may not have the correct headlight switch ( see attached ) but i have not headlights now, but if i connect the white/red to the green/yellow next to it the head lights work. my question is, what should the white/red wire connect to? (my schematic doesn't show a white/red wire to the headlight switch )

voltage jumps from 14.5v to 19v when running, looks like my voltage needs to be regulated! i've also uploaded an image of my 1970 240Z VIN 5535 but it doesn't appear on my posts?

i'll check that - think the voltmeter is ok.

i've been trying to sort out my blinker/light switch assembly wiring and every time i check voltage on a hot wire its 18-19 volts - is this normal? ( i don't thinks so..... )

tracked it down, but thanks!

just had the same problem, got a hold of some m2-0.5 x 6 socket head screws off of ebay, shortened it to about 4mm length - much easier to get a hex key into the socket than using a screw driver.

hey, whats the difference between bp6es and bpr6es? pepboys gave me bpr6es......

just order them from your nissand dealer - insert and wiper body, all original style for $15!

my reset knob doesn't work - turn it and it moves the number drums slightly - could it be the set screw missing?

ordered them from local dealer, we'll see what arrives mid-week. a shame you cant just get the insert.....

i'd like to keep the cool metal frame that holds a triangular rib on the top of the wiper, to keep it original. so i just need the rubber wiper with the triangle shaped rib on top.

i tried that, but the newer blades i have, have 2 slots on the side, need just one. blades popped right out when i turned the wipers on.

btw, i've got several sets of wiper arms if you haven't gotten a hold of some.

does anybody know where to get wipers for the cool early style wire arms? current blades have 2 side slots ( which i've got jury-rigged ) but i'm looking for blades with single slot and a triangular top piece that will fit into the old style frame. any help would be appreciated!
