    Guys,

    Please help me. I just found out that my Hi Beam light is just staying on and its not switching to Low Beam light. And my other lights like the brake lights and fog light is not working either. But when i press my brakes the brake light is working.

    What could possibly get wrong. Is there a way i can check the fuses or etc...

    Would much appreciate if you guys can help. It looks like i can't drive my car at night with this poblem.

    aaaaand

    The most common cause for this fuse to blow is the wiring for the numberplate illumination shorting to the body of the car, so if the fuse continues to blow, that's the first place to look.

    I had a lot of headaches with this circuit. None of the usual fixes worked and an auto leccy fixed the problem. Turned out to be busted ass relays.

    the "clearance illumination fuse".

    this was the first real nasty problem i had with my Z, pulled the thing to bits to find it, none of the usual causes, turned out to be the head unit wiring.

    Spot on.

    Just changed the fuse at the kick panel. But i reckon there is circuit probelm somewhere cause when i change the fuse it got blown again then i change it again. Its ok for now. just got to check the wirings when i have time. Any suggestions.

    Cheers.

    if its ok now with a new fuse then just leave it for now i guess. when you do go to eliminate the cause, disconnect the plug for all the rear lights for example, then the glove box light etc, just work your way through it . you wouldnt belive how much stuff runs off that fuse
