panels won't light HELP!
 

i was trying to run constant power to my foglights thru the switch and made a few sparks. now my spedometer and panels dont light up any more. i have a 91 se and i dont know wat it is. i checked the fuses and it isnt any of those. any other ideas? someone said it might be a relay....wheres that? how do i check those. HELP! thanx!

where you been lately duud? hows the new max? sorry dont know much how to help you, id tell you to check the fuses but you already did.. hmm

Re: panels won't light HELP!
 

check your fuses?;)

Re: Re: panels won't light HELP!
 

do you tail lights come on..? not brake lights TAILLIGHTS lol

Re: Re: Re: panels won't light HELP!
 

they didnt, but then i replaced the fuse for it and now they work but the panels still dont light up. did i fry a wire or sumthing?

Re: Re: Re: Re: panels won't light HELP!
 

humm.... are you sure that the fuse held.. afer you replaced it..?
if there was a short in a dash wire or a tail wire that fuse would blow....

-to get some on to fix it its going to cost a ot of money becuae there going to spend like 2 hours trying to find the fuse.... labor charges suck...
-i have a short in my shifter somewere .. it blows out the dash/taillight fuse almost once a month... i just hold a lot of 10 Amp fuses ..lol

Right now my tail lights work but my panels still dont light up. i know i did sumthing when i was playing with the wires could it be that i unpluged some kind of main power source. i was working by the steering wheel so it must be sumthing around there...this sux!

hey man..same thing is going on with me.

I was installing a new cd player..i ended up crossing my illumination wire with some other wire..that knocked out the tail lamp fuse..i replaced the fuse and the the parking lights and stuff work fine..but my instrument lights still won't light up. If it's a relay prob then i have extra ones..but i'd like to pin point the problem.

if you find the solution please let me know..ill be very happy to solve this mystery.

thanks

humm..
 

ok for some reson you cut the power going to the dash.... try and return it to stock... see if it works.. if not... more thinking

i know how bad that sucks

ChrisCheezer - I love how the white Maxima sig pic is taken in the future. =]

(jk, I know it's the date format).

LOL !!!!
 

nice! the camra is broken .. but it takes good pics when it works.. the camra shope is going to flip when i bring it back for the 2nd time.... *3.1 megapixel....... if i paint that center piece for the tail lights body color do you think it would look good? and im going to put a GTR emblem under the door lock... if any one has a pic od the r34 form the back could you plz show me it..... im think about getting the R 32 tails too

Re: humm..
 

try changing what back to stock?

:confused:

you said you made a switch .... right??
 

remove the switch and return the wires to stock

Re: you said you made a switch .... right??
 

Everything is stock. i didnt change anything

is there a relay for it?

I STILL NEED HELP!!!!! PLEEZ :bawling:

now kids, remember to disconnect the battery before playing around with the wires un-kay.
(sorry, i don't have any real help for your problem, but hey, at least i bumped the thread up so you wouldn't have to do so by whining more.)

that's funny, when i first saw that pic a couple weeks ago i thought the exact same thing at first. lol.:laugh:

Get the blue Chilton book (Maxima 85-92), then study page 6-135 or 6-136 ("Interior illumination lights wiring schematic...").

P.S. There is no relay. It's just battery - fuse - switch - lights - ground. Actually, that's not quite right - there is the dimmer circuitry.

k i got the book i just got to study those pages...ill tell you guys what happens :(
