tail lamp prob

[_b.jaye_]

1st off, completely new to these forums. lookin for any guesses as to whats up with my Zs tail lights. i know it aint a fuse (unlesss theres a fuse panel other than the ones by the kick panel & battery) or the bulbs. any relays i might not have seen or an easy way to test the switch? any help is seriously apriciated!

i think you should first explain the problem you are having. that way if there is someone that can help, they can see what the problem is. Maybe a quick fix for a tech thats on here.

thanks and welcome to NICO!

yeah, that might help huh. ive had the car for a bit over a month now... its an 03, stock everything as far as i know other than an aftermarket CD player i installed. all the lights work other than the tail lights (thats the prob... no tail lights...brake, turn signals, reverse lights, etc. are a-ok) just noticed it the other day, and to be honest, im not sure they worked when i bought it, so i dont know if its related to the radio install, but im definatly not rulin it out. only other thing that may not be stock are the heated seats. theres 2 wires in the fuse panel with female spade type conn.s that clip to 2 tabs coming off the legs of 2 of the push-in fuses. (non of which looks stock to me) unplugging these kills the "on" light in the heated seat switch.

as i said, im 99% sure none of the fuses are blown and ive checked the bulbs. both sides, both elements, all good...

thx for the advice rmezz

f'in ecstatic! problem solved found a service manual on here that had the main fuse box back behind the battery that id missed. theses forums saved my arse & probably a bit of $$$! now i just hope the fuse was a fluke! lol [IMG][/IMG]
