I have a 1998 240sx and I just got it this last week. I didnt get the owners manual with the car. I found out the hard way that the person who had it before me, installed the LED washer squirters. Now, we found a HUGE mess of wires at the passenger side of the corner lights. Upon taking the wires out that go to the squirter, somehow I have no driving/parking lights now.

My question is...is there another fuse box anywhere else on the car, because we've checked every fuse and reattached the wires like we thought they should be attached and we STILL dont have any lights. Headlights, brakes lights, turn signals, etc...all work. Its just the driving/parking lights that dont work. I dont get it. I will admit that electrical is my weakness when it comes to cars.

WHAT AM I MISSING?? :help

Thanks, Brad

Check ground wires...Try using a light blub and test the wires.If the bulb lights up then its a conection prob. If it doesnt its a wire prob. Check the bulb in the light that your refering to it might be just that simple.

Check the grounds as working said. Check all the connectors with a test light. If you have power up to the parking lights but no parking lights then I would suspect the grounds have been tampered with or are not connected properly.
