No parking lights... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I seem to have lost my tail lights and marker lights. My turn signals still work. My brake lights still work. My reverse lights still work. My headlights still work.

I don't know when this happened since I don't drive at night a lot in this vehicle ('92 240SX SE), but I noticed it last night. The fuse was blown so I replaced it and turned on the lights and it immediatley blew the fuse, so I obviously have a short somewhere. I pulled all the lights and looked at the wires coming from each, with no luck in finding anything obvious.

Is there anywhere on these cars that this is a regular problem/hot spot?

Could the short be in my gauge cluster since the lights are out in it too?

Any help in pinpointing the problem will be greatly appreciated.
