Ok I will start out describing my problems:
- Right turn signal stays half lit on gauge cluster- Right turn signal doesn't work when pop-up lights are on- Rear Right turn signal stays half light when lights are on- Brights don't work- Gas gauge way off and fluxuates alot, some times the needles goes way past empty
The following work has been performed but none of these electrical issues followed after the changes
-installed optima red top battery because old battery took a crap at the drift practice-located battery to the rear to make room for intercooler piping-installed turbo kit
The electrical issue didn't start happening till about a week after the turbo kit was installed. My car is a 93 nissan 240sx. There are no blown fuses. I don't know what to do. Thanks. Nick

i think you are experiencing bad grounding/bad power transfer. what kind of wire did you use for the hot? how about the ground? how many/where are your grounds? do you have an aftermarket alt? check bulbs(by taking them out and looking at the bottoms) to see if any 1127 bulbs may have melted into one big terminal.
Positive is on the starter, negative is on a fairly large bolt that connects to the uniframe. I will pull the bulb and check it tomorrow. I can tell you the turn signal works properly when lights are off and you flip the turn signal. The power wire is in good condition. I will continue to look and I also checked all the relays that deal with lighting and accessories. Thanks. Nick

ok. do you have more than one pos? it should go to the starter and to a bunch of fusible links too. do you have that? i guess you have to cause it runs:)is it thick wire for power and ground? i used 1/0gauge welding cable. also you need multiple grounds(unless you have one really clean ground). now if none of that is it...
i would suspect one blown bulb or bad bulb ground would cause backfeed issues that would do all of those probs.

Ground and positive on the battery is not an issues. I think my problem is coming from the wiring from the fuse box up front. You can email me that diagram at [email protected]. Thanks. Nick
