Need help with Intermittent stop and corner lights - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

TIGGZ_S13 · 05-02-2018, 11:27 AM

The car has no corners or stop lamps (most of the time) when Im driving and hit a pot hole or a bump all of a sudden they work but the problem is intermittent. Is there something I can check directly that would be the most common problem? Or where can I start? Pls Help

look for loose connections or bare wires...start at the light and fuse boxes and work your way through! I would suggest get a multimeter and use that to help check the wires as you go!

Mine do that. Its the aged connectors where the bulb touched the electrical metal: its all coroded. Take the bulb out and clean the little metal connectors.

otherwise its wires somewhere, frayed. Maybe under the driver side fender where they tend to get #@(*#@'d by the lowered car tires rubbing the harness.
