i was working on my cig lighter outlet while the car was running and the wire that goes to the outlet grounded out. Resulting in no lights except my headlights and overheadlight. im assuming i blew some sort of fuse, but i dont know where. i need to fix this asap, as i am planning to drive it to my shop tommorrow nite to change tires and coolant. So if u can help me, it would b greatly appreciated.

 

have you checked your fuses yet?

 

Probably your accessory fuse.

There is a fuse panel under the dash on the passenger side.

 

Im thinking of the reostat switch. Its got alot of things to with other than just the dimmer. It fixed my same problem.

 

The 280zx fuse box is on the passenger side kick panel

81-280zxnt: pop the cover off an check out your fuses

 

Dur lol.


It's been too long since ive had my 280zx.

 

i did that when i lost my lighting, it was dark and i overlooked the blow fuse at that time. today i found the fuse that was blown and replaced it. so....
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

..kinda feel dumb. lol..
thanks anyways.
