Tdatsun1971 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I have a 521 with a weird electrical problem. I have good Headlights tail, brake, & running lights. BUT when you use the turn signal either right or left all the lights blink????? Even both turn indicators in the dash both blink on and off. Is this a ground problem? I have looked at all the bulbs & replaced any with corrosion. Any help would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Could be a ground problem, or it could be a problem in the Hazard switch. It also could happen if someone added a trailer signal combiner and it's wired wrong. Quote Link to comment
Tdatsun1971 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 OK more fun stuff!!!!! When i step on the brakes the turn signal indicators in the dash come on? Both sides. And the front turn signals have a very low glow. both sides. Pulled front bulbs & cleaned. No change. Should the dash cluster have a ground wire on it? If so where would it hook to? From Chassis to ? what part of the metal on the cluster? If you can help with this PLEASE HELP. Also does anybody have a good color wiring Diagram for the rear lights????? And what bulbs to use? Im using 1157's thats what the truck had when i bought it. I want to rule out the rear lights as the culprit. Thanks again Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 http://www.olddatsuns.com/ will have the wiring diagrams. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 OK, that sounds like a ground at one of the bulbs is no longer connected, or even the wrong kind of bulb in a socket. Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yes, I do had to re solder the ground wires on the rear light sockets because of an issue just like this one. Quote Link to comment
Tdatsun1971 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Found the problem guys!!! I couldnt believe it. Well after many goings over the dash & rear light harnesss[which is a mess in its own right]. I decide to check the whole harness once again. From rear to front. Right behind the muffler their is a frame clip that holds the wiring. Well that clip was buried into the wires. OMG!!!!!!!!! Yea grounding out the power wires, not good. Cut wires put in temp wires to see if that was the problem. Yep all my lights now work. Now to make a new wiring harness next on the to do list. I would like to say thanks to Pacific Coast Datsun for the wiring Diagrams. My manual is not correct. Its helping me get it right. Again thanks to everyone that tried to help.
