I've lost the tail lights and instrument lights on my 1982 Datsun 280Z. I've checked the fuse and it does not have power, so there must be a relay or fusible link out somewhere. The Chilton's manual is a joke. Does anybody know where to locate the relay/fusible link? Any help is greatly appreciated.

both should be under the hood in a seperate box...

hmmm have you tried looking at a wiring schematic?It might not necessarily be relays or fuses under hood...on the other hand it could be.. just trace out where the wires run and go from there... i would look at a schematic first..

Start with the simple thing first, check the fuses. If there ok then with a trouble light and a multimeter start checking the wires.

that should be in the owners manual. But if you dont have it or its not then I would try and find a wireing diagram. This would give you a idea where to start.


Albert he said he is tring to find the fuse/relay for it.
