S14 Marker Lights (next to the head light) and side markers not working - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hi guys,

Normally I don't make threads like this, but this has me stumped and searching (both zilvia and google) hasn't turned up anything that seemed like a solution to my problem.

I go to turn my marker lights on, only one side (passenger side) works. I go to turn my head lights on, same thing. Both of my turn signals work (left and right side.)

If it helps at all, I've switched my stock S14 front bumper out for a Navan Bumper.

It appears that my driver's side fender harness may or may not have been damaged (hood cable is fucked up, and if I pull just right on the harness the AC fan comes on)...

I'm under the impression that all 4 marker lights are on the same circuit. Is this true? Is there a chance that both the left and right sides are on series circuits (both markers on either side are in series) which would lead to one bulb burning out causing the other not to work?

My apologies if this is a common problem, I am still new to the world of S14's.

Nopes, they are parallel and not in series if thats what you're asking. Follow the wires and see where they split off, see if you have power at that point.

all 4 are in individual circuits. You have a break somewhere or your bulb it out.
