Check the bulbs, then look for an open ground.

After you've checked bulbs, get the wiring diagram, and a multimeter, and start checking the wiring to the taillights to see what works and what doesn't. start here. there is a ground from the battery to the engine. ... from the battery to the side fender,..... from the engine to the frame ,..... and from the engine to the fire wall . remember every componant ( engine , trans, transfer, body ect. is rubber mounted so you need a good ground to all electrical units. BUT. check for power first. hope ths starts you in the right direction Burned out bulbs.

Might want to check out the combination switch-Nissan's switches tend to fail on one circuit at at time, not all at once... > hey, i'm getting a 1985 nissan truck from my grandpa, the truck runs great > but the tailights dont work and neither do the blinkers, its some > electrical problem i guess but i dont to where to begin fixing it. i > checked the fuses qand they seem fine. the headlights work, the running > lights work. do you guys have any help to give me? > thanks! Did you figure it out? Does the interior dome light work? If not it is you fuseable link coming off of your battery. At least that is what my 86 was doing. I had no tail or running lights my dash board lights and dome light did not work. > Did you figure it out? Does the interior dome light work?

Did you get the wiring diagram? if so with a voltmeter check the fuse box space that your light fuses plug into and see if there?s any power. then post again!! |
