hey guys i hav a 240sx coupe and im just wondering if anyone can help me or has any suggestions that would solve my current problem. my interior lights arent working. the reading lights dont work but the power window button does. the stereo and 4 speakers arent working or dont have power. and my inside trunk light is also not working aswell. im thinking it might be a fuse problem but im not exactly sure. im kindof new to the whole tuning car scene (i know its late) but i just want to make sure i do the right thing. if anyone has any solutions plz post them thx.

dude to be honest with you is not easy to find out what wires is shortage or is touch other wires. there are tons of wires around the chassis. i had problem with mine too, i was driving in the middle of the night...lucky that cop didn't pulled me over. i've replace like who knows how many fuses i burned out everything when i put one in. so i know is a shortage somewhere.

a friend of mine jump wires to fix the problem. it may not be safest, but safe enough for driving home at night. (temporary lighting) so all you have to do is just jump wires to the main light everything when you using your headlight switch at night....as far as your stereo goes i'm not sure...because i don't have one. my music is my motor.
