Question Two small questions in one thread

1. I Just bought a 87 Nissan Sentra that I really like. The thing is that the back lights do not light up when you pres the breaks. Everything else works fine. Even when you turn the head lights on the back lights come on its just that the brake lights won't shine. Does anyone out there know of a way to fix this. It would be very much appreciated. Damn sorry I didn't think I typed that much.


2. Does anyone have any tips on tuning up my sentra to have a little more get up. Nothing major, just small to medium ideas. They all will be welcome. Thanx for everything in advance.

To answer this question..First off get a voltage meter and see if there is any juice going to he rear lights...if not then it could be anything from a bad wire to a bad ground or dissconnected wire and what not....

Cool

hey Sentry Stylin. I will try that out. But, how do I go about it. I have a meter, but I don't know what setting is good. Or what wires should I check out..Thanx a lot for your help.

Not sure on the setting,you'd hve to consult the manual on that...
but pull the wiring harness off the bulb and have someone sittting in your car hit the brakes and find the ground and just touchthe connector to the other wires and see if you are getting ay juice to them....This way at least you can see if your getting any juice back there at all....
