Hello everyone, I just got my car today. I live in Los Angeles and just bought a 1989 240SX Coupe from some guy in San Diego. It has a stock KA24.Now for the problem:When I got home I noticed that my brake lights(all three) and my reverse lights don't work(but my parking lights do work). I could have sworn that they worked just the day before when I test drove it. I haven't started looking because it's so late, I thought I might ask here to get head start. Where do you guys think I should look first? Are these lights on the same fuse? Any information would help.

Thanks,Albert

P.S. I have searched, but I found nothing to do with this Particular problem.

Well I figured it out, turns out the break light rubber stopper broke off, which caused the lights to always stay on, so what the previous owner did was remove the fuse. And about the reverse light the fuse was bad, it looked like the fuse was good, but a quick check with the multi-meter proved otherwise.

Tomorrow I am going over to the nissan dealer to pick up the rubber stopper. It is going to cost me $3.73. Good thing I found that information on this site, or I would have spent a lot of money taking to the auto electric.
