ggzilla Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Why is it not correct? "1980-1986 Nissan 720 Repair Manual - Haynes" -- that covers 1985. Quote Link to comment
Grit Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Why is it not correct? "1980-1986 Nissan 720 Repair Manual - Haynes" -- that covers 1985. I personally have little faith in the Haynes manual. Its probably just my lack of automotive experience but I feel like I've come across a lot of discrepancies also. I have the 85 factory service manual. Are there any rules or reasons why I shouldn't scan the wiring diagram for him/her? If there is no reason not to I MIGHT get around to scanning it.

koukimonsta Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 please do scan if possibly/legal. for example i am completely confused about my fuse box. it is by my left knee when driving and is a horizontal row of about 15. and they are all in order 10/15/20. color coded. i am assuming this is not factory and it was a previous owner... also the plugs shown for many of the behind the dash items(cluster, turn signal/lights, etc.) are completely incorrect. wrong shape wrong number of pins etc. and my truck has been screwed with by previous owners so i am trying to really fix this.

The '85 had a 15 fuse box sitting horizontal by left knee. The fuses are from left to right... 10, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 10, blank, 20, 10, 15, 15, 10, 10. The wire harness or dash may have been swapped. Are the gauges round or square? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 FSM may not help with the Fuse Box much (usually it just has schematics) The 1985 Owner's Manual has detailed information on the fuse box and fuse locations/amperages within the box. Quote Link to comment
koukimonsta Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 thanks, i have solved the fuse box issue. but now i need a manual so i can try and get these headlights working! going to look for a chiltons(does it exist?) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yes, only my Chilton doesn't have wiring diagrams. The older Clymer's did, newer ones don't The Nissan factory service manual will be available at your regional library too Quote Link to comment
Grit Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Here are the power and headlight diagrams. Power/Fuse Diagram Headlight Diagram Quote Link to comment
koukimonsta Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 great thanks!! now can anyone link the pages that identify wire color codes(ry, rb...etc) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 round gauges. and i have 2 empty spots on the far bottom corners for other oem options(correct?) thanks for fuse info. i will put them in that order so i have [proper amperage. The two places at the front, closest to the front of the vehicle are the two 10 amp fuses for the headlights. No fuses here= no headlights. The single missing fuse in my previous post is for optional air conditioning. Quote Link to comment
Grit Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 great thanks!! now can anyone link the pages that identify wire color codes(ry, rb...etc) B = Black R = Red G = Green W = White L = Blue Y = Yellow P = pink Br = Brown (Some Brown wires actually look red, especially the ones coming out of the positive battery auxiliary) Lg = Light Green Or = Orange Pu = purple Gr = Gray Sb = Sky Blue Colors with two capital letters indicate a multicolored wire. The first capital letter is the primary color of the wire and the second capital letter is the color of the stripe. EXAMPLE: "RL" = Red with a blue stripe EXAMPLE: "BrY" = Brown with a yellow stripe Quote Link to comment
koukimonsta Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Perfect thank you. IRS the few of ones like L for blue I didn't understand Quote Link to comment
Eman777 Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I am seeking guidance on the process of upgrading my current fuse box to a larger unit, which would allow for the incorporation of additional accessories. I am interested in understanding the wiring diagram of the original fuse box and the steps involved in transferring these connections to the new fuse box. The newly acquired fuse box features negative (neg) and positive (pos) terminals. This raises the query of whether the white and red wire located atop the existing fuse box, labeled as "battery," remain essential. The wires situated at the upper section of the fuse box are identified as ignition, accessory, battery, and headlights. I am uncertain about the appropriate approach for transferring these wires to the new fuse box. Should these wires be connected to the negative or positive terminals of the new unit? I would greatly appreciate your guidance in clarifying these aspects. Quote Link to comment
