Hey, my friend has a 3rd gen maxima.
He wants to know if it is possible to rewire the rear turn signals with the brake lights so that the it will alternate (Turn Signal Flashes/then/Brake Light Flashes) when he turns on the turn signals. Basically to make the rear lights Domestic like some american cars that have the brake light flash as a turn signal. Is this possible to be done? If so or not does anyone have any suggestions??
thanks...

 

I posted this one or two days ago so next time search before you ask, but here it is:
it's not exactly what you want, but it makes the outer brake light blink as a blinker, if you want to know how to make it so that the outer brake light works as a blinker and the inner one is brake but alternates with the blinker, you could do all the stuff below, but also cut the ground wire going to the inner brake light and wire that into the power wire for the blinker and then they should blink alternately


Ok, I looked today and heres what to do...
To get it so that the outer light comes on with parking lights (dim) and blinks brighter when you turn on blinker and lower yellow blinker part doesn't do anything at all...
open up the taillight bulb holder assembly (open trunk and slide 2 latches up for each side)
This is a little hard to describe since 2 of the wires in there do different things but are the same color
follow the wires from before the harness to understand what I am talking about.
The wire for the blinker is pink before the harness and light green after it (and is pretty easy to locate since it goes to the blinker bulb).
The brake and parking lights are more of a problem because they are both green/yellow after the harness and both go into the 2 upper bulbs; follow the red/white (this is the one that has power when the brakes go on) wire through the harness and find which green wire it is and trace that one all the way to the outer bulb. The wire will split in two and there is a black connector that does this so that it goes to both upper bulbs. When I say harness side of a wire, that means on the side that is coming from the harness, but after the split.
Cut this wire about an inch or two from the bulb; also cut the wire that is going to the lower blinker bulb (solid light green) about the same length
Now, you will need to connect the solid green wire coming from the harness to the green/yellow wire that is going to the outer, upper bulb; you can connect it with butt connectors, wire nuts, whatever. If the wires are not long enough to touch, just add a length of wire in between them.
Now, your parking light portion of the outer bulb still is intact and makes the dim light when you turn them on, but now the blinker wire controls the brighter part of that bulb. You will be left with the green/yellow wire that used to be going to the outer, upper bulb but is now coming from the harness and has one open end. Just cap off this end because it will still have power when you put on the brakes so if it's just laying around, it could potentially cause a short. I would recommend putting it in a wirenut and taping it with electrical tape, but anyway you want to do it is fine.
Now, close up everything (making sure the brake wire is properly sealed) and try it out.
Repeat on the other side

if you have any questions, let me know; I don't think it should be that hard
note: I didn't actually try this on my car, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work. These wire colors are from my 93SE, but should be exactly the same on all 3rd gen maximas
