Hi,
I don't remember if I posted this before, and I can't search to find out.
I can't get a haynes manual just yet, so I was wondering if someone could tell me the color of the wires going into the:

front parking lamp (l/R)
front turn signal (l/r)
front headlights (l/r)

this is for both the HID maxima's and the halogen maxima's.
Thanks.

I'm running out of fuses.

Seth

 

OK,
I got a scematic thanks.
Here's the lowdown:

high beam: or/b
HID/low: r/l
parking lamp: r/y
low ground: b/y
high ground: lg

high: p
HID/low: l
parking: r/y
low ground: b/y
high ground: l/w

Ha!,
What a shock, the manual wire colors and the color wires I have don't match. This is for the 00-01 and the 02-03 cars. 80% of the wires match, but I have a few that keep me scratching my head.

Oh, and my dash doesn't light up anymore. Radio and A/C works, but buttons and guages have no lights. Can't find that fuse either.

Seth

 

Odd,
So I found a 'tail lamp' fuse under the hood which was blown. I replaced it, and I don't know about the rear end of the car, but the interior lights work again.

Seth

 

Dude, do you have a multimeter/voltmeter nearby? Check your battery voltage with the engine running... start diagnosing things, or take it to a dealer. That does not sound good.

 

Here's what's going on.
I think I have the parking lights running as the headlights (which would explain why they go on all the time). They only blow when I turn on the brights now ( because the 9003 is now doing both high and low simultaneously.
So my guess is there is some sort of feedback coming through this fuse.
I'm going to re-wire today and see what happens.

Seth

 

Yup,
THat's what it was. Just switched the parking lamps and low beams and it works fine.

Wonder why a surge in the parking lamp line when the brights would come on would cause the tail lamp fuse to blow. Who knows.

Anyway, turn signalls, flashers, parking lamps, and main beams work fine. Even the auto-on still works.
Time will tell if the high beam will wreak any more damage.

That's the beam pattern difference. From the manual.
