Hi,I have 1992 240sx le with a problem with one of the head lights.The right head light comes on but the left one doesn't. I have checked the fuses and also installed a new head light. I'm not sure which relay controls the left head light? The other problem is the parking light don't work as welland the fuse is good as well. And last thing is the power door locks stop working as well, I talked to a service tech at Nissan regards to the locks and he told me there a timer for the power locks. By any chance does anyone know where the timer is located?

Thanks,Ridder

There are two headlight retract relays, one for each headlight. One of them may be defective causing your problem. The relays are located in the 'relay box' on the driver's side of the engine up front under the air filter box; when facing the front of the car, the two relays are in the front row in the box, starting on the right hand side. You might try swapping them to see if the problem goes over to the other headlight. The door lock timer is located behind the right side kick panel, near the ECU.
