The motor is just fine the lights retract and open just fine but the two front lights bulbs stay off now! the rear lights come on and my dash lights are okay but no lamps in the front. Oh yeah the stock corner lights work too...imma check the fuse but any help will be much appreciated 'cuz Im trying to sell it right now

check and see if the plug are in...might bounce lose when you hit that dip

is your car lowered? the tire may of have rubbed/burned the insulation off of your wiring harnes in the fender well & shorted something. check it. i have not relocated the harness higher up like your suppose to when lowering a 240, which is why i haven't slammed my car yet.

like s13guy said....if your slammed your gonna need a wire tuck

lostangelent · 11-21-2009, 10:26 PM

You guys are right I am slammed on some Tanabe Sustec coilovers (sales point haha) but not very much....I will definitely check and get back to you all and let you know

Nissan : 240SX:eBay Motors (item 140360934689 end time Nov-25-09 13:34:21 PST)

check out my auction too haha

but are the wires in each wheel well or on one side because both went out simultaneously while driving over the edge of a speed HUMP, you know how when you drive all the way to right side of the hump so only one wheel hits the hump cuz your slammed?

my fender liner is still in tact too surprisingly and they are the original fender liners too (check the ebay auction, it is clear title with a higher score than others, another selling point haha)

I like to say hump

if your slammed the tire prob rubbed thru or onto the fender liner & into the wiring harness. the harness is on both sides IIRC. you are going to have to take out the fenders to get to the harness. an easy job, just tedious

@shayrgob which connections are you talking about? the ones above the fender liners? and what is di-electric grease and what does it do? (as I am googling it) btw your sig is tight haha

@carps13guy that is going to suck because my fender liner has never been removed it is original from the factory and doesnt look like it has ever been tampered with...suxxxxxx

thanks guys Imma check back and let you know how it turns out
