huh sounds really familiar haha, what mind does is there are no dash lights till 30 mins later with the heat on defrost and drivers side window cracked so the heat passes the hud display, sometimes after 15 mins I smack the hud display then it comes on.

When i press the brakes my dash lights come on and my radio turns off and on (found out i had used the wrong type of bulb in my taillight, confused 1157 and 1156).When i turn on my rear defroster my idle jumps about 500~700rpms and doesnt defrost anything.

And my passenger side auto belt goes up a few seconds after turning ignition on. ( My friend hates that cause he's always drinking something and the belt gets caught on his forearm and tries to drown him in my passenger seat) lmao super funny to watch

You should try to mess with the dash light dimmer switch to see if that's the problem. Its below the steering wheel and people miss it all the time.

there was nothing wrong with the orginal but i thought that may have been what was causing it so took the working one from my parts car and the same thing still happens

Have you tried swapping the TCU? I know the problem is intermitent but maybe theres a loose connection in your current one. Have you checked all your ground connections? Anything wired in aftermarket?

[roadboy240sx]

just my radio and i did it myself it is all custom wired nothing with the orginal setup and the TCU is that white box by the fuse box. i havent replaced that yet ill have to see if thats it

it's very easy to pry that thing open and see if the paths are burnt out... also easy to resolder it as well
