Any help would be grealy appreciated.
let me know if it works.
Hello, I had the same problem on my 95' with the tail lights not coming on with the headlights or shutting off when driving (great no one could see me from behind). It's the turnsignal-headlight switch. I fixed this easly
in 30 minutes. Underneath the steering wheel remove the 4 screws that hold the bottom half of the steering wheel bezel. Once you have those off you can lift the top half of the bezel a bit to get to the two screws that hold the switch in place. Remove switch and take inside your home / or shop. There is a plastic plate that covers the where the
contacts are. That plate is about a 1 1/2" roughly square. I forget if it has screws or not , unscrew and or pry to pop that piece of plastic off. You will now see 4 or five contact legs. One for the headlamps 1 for taillamps and 2 turnsiganl contact legs. From turning headlights on/off alot they get unsprung a bit and will make little contact with the other mating surface. I used a small screw driver
to bend them towards the inside of the switch so they could make good contact. Take the switch in your hand and turn it on , you will see a one or two legs that have lost some off the orginal bend to make contact (thats the brake lights, use a small screw driver or you thumb to bend then inwards a bit to match the other legs. You could also use a very small pair of needle nose to bend the legs downword towards the other mating surface. My tail lights worked after this fix and i haven't had a problem in the year that i did this fix. good luck it works! Take your time to understand where and how the contact legs go to make a connection.
Those switches are too darn expensive but that is the problem

Also you could try to spray with a contact cleaner like some one else on this
board suggested,

I also have a problem with the keyless entry system that might be related to the door light, if i lock my doors there is a 10 minute wait and then the alarm goes off without provocation?!? Is this a relay problem or a ECU or something. I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff.
Hope to hear from you soon. :confuse:

I've a 1999 model on which the battery will go dead if not driven for a day or so. What circuits/systems connected full-time to the battery might be causing this?
I've done a resistance test on the alternator output terminal, reading 640 ohms one direction, nothing the other direction [flipping the ohmmeter leads]. This tells me that the diodes in the alternator should be okay.
A caveat is that the vehicle is a wreck rebuild, with the passenger side and rear having been involved. Also, the "room lights" [Nissan's parlance] would always stay on unless turned off at the lamp itself. **BUT**...I removed the Room Lamp fuse, to no effect. :confuse:
I'm recharging the battery as of this post, and will do a current-draw test, and then begin pulling fuses to see if the current so noted, decreases.
Any help is certainly appreciated.
if you can that will be grate

I’ve been looking for an answer to this problem for over a year. From the various posts across the internet, I see that this is not uncommon, but have never seen an actual answer to resolve the problem .
The ISSUE, the dash/instrument panel lights will intermittently turn off on one side of the dash or the other, or both (Tach, etc. OR Speed, etc., or both), other lights in the car are unaffected. They will resume functioning in an arbitrary manner, with no repair. Turning lights ON or OFF, turning the car ON or OFF, hitting bumps, temperature, duration of drive time, weather, or towing a trailer seem to be unrelated - having no effect on precipitating or resolving the light failure. Lights may remain OFF for seconds, or minutes, or days at a time (making night-time driving problematic when the speedometer is out.) The instruments themselves work fine, the only problem is the lighting.
ANYBODY have a clue ???
Thanks.
111,000 miles fully overhauled a year ago :confuse: Recently I´ve been experiencing car trouble (stalling) only that it has gotten steadily worse and the last time it died on me and it didn´t start untill it had cooled off for about 30 minutes.............when coils short out how does one go about testing it?
It really is mind boggling otherwise it was running great!!!
any ideas please.
Again, blinker stops blinking when brakes are applied, then blinker comes on solid when brake is applied regardless if blinker is activated.
Please help lol
Good luck, David
any ideas? I have no idea where to start
any help would be appreciated
