Wiring problems?
97 NIssn has working headlights, dome lights, brake lights and interior lights and the truck dings only if the key are in the ignition. My dash light, 4 ways, turn signals don't work and it won't ding when the lights are left on after shitting off the truck.
HELP!
I bet if you tested the chassis ground it would be less than 11.5 volts...you've got a reduced voltage situation because of a faulty ground...follow the black battery cable to the (non-clamp) side...or the lug end, which is attached to the chassis...disassemble and wirebrush the lug and chassis to allow full 300 cold cranking amps with your NEW battery...yes you'll be getting a new battery if yours is older than five~
Thanks, do you have a diagram or picture just so I make sure what you mean to disassemble (I have a 2yr old battery)
I went to the Nissan dealership yesterday - very ignorant and unprofessional, then I stopped by my mechanics garage - he didn't help either, just told me that it was going to be a lot of work to fix it and that I'd have to take it to the Nissan dealer...ya, right. I did get wiring diagrams from the mechanic that replaced my clutch (my 18 yr old son killed it). Thanks again!
Had the same problem (fusible link) there are 2 connections, the one with a black and green wire is your culprit Ill bet on it. Mine had shorted the black (ground), anyways they don't sell that party and most plaza will try and sell you a whole new harness. What I did was disconnect the broken one brought it to Napa and bought the same gauge wire, removed, replaced, solders and electrical tape. Connected it back up and walla I had working dash, lights signals everything. Hope this helps anyone
Oh and I forgot to mention, check the insulator on the+ terminal on your alternator. Mine cracked when I installed the new one from over tighten the nut, it's what caused the fusible to short out in the first place . I find it funny how something so small can cause so many problems
How do I install a new headlight in my 1993 Nissan pick up 4cilynder truck no pig tail just straight wire a positive and negative and ground
Hello, Can you tell me what these extra connection things are on my battery cable? And if they are necessary or just some type of "rigging" that can be removed? I'm needing to buy a new battery but have noticed that the green wrapped wire contraption has broken off and appears to have gotten too hot at some point because the green plastic connection part looks a little melted. I've never seen cables with all these things on them. Thank you, Angie
