The RH tail lights on my 1990 Aus-spec have stopped working and I cannot see why. The brake lights work both sides OK, but only the LH tail lights come on. I have put in 2 new bulbs but RH tail lights still won't come on. I have exchanged bulbs left side of car to right and they still don't work on the RH side. I have pulled out the panels in rear of boot to check the wiring and there are no obvious plugs pulled out. The fact that BOTH RH tail light bulbs don't work suggests that it must be the power feed to the RH tail lights. I have checked the fuse box to see if there is a separate fuse for RH and LH tail lights but there only seems to be the one. Any thoughts?
Possibly faulty/broken connections in the bulb holder, could even be a broken wire somewhere along the line. Best too get/use a test light and see if power is getting too the ends or connections. And take it from there.
Black Box... It's a bit of a common flt with the Black Box that's mounted just inside the right tailight assembly on the right (hooked onto a plastic tab). try pushing the plug in while testing the tail lights. You can either re-tension the lugs inside the plug and clean it up, or... Zip Tie the plug around the assembly holding it in tighter (that was my choice of fix) or... bypass the box altogether. Although that last method will stop you from getting a blown globe notification through the dashboard! let us know how you go!! :zlove: Cheers!
Thanks for that. I have tested all my voltages and I was still getting nearly 12V at the light socket but it obviously failed under load when the side lights were switched on. I had come to the conclusion that the little black box which is presumably the Stop/Tail lights sensor was the cuplrit. I have sprayed the terminals with Deoxit but still didn't work. I will try and source one in Brisbane from anyone who is parting out a 300ZX. Thanks for your feedback. cheers Paul
