Front Side Marker Lights not working??
It is a 1986 300zx NA with 70K miles on the original engine. Car is in amazing shape! All electrical works properly except that the front marker lights are completely unresponsive. I have replaced both bulbs but that was not the problem. It seems to coincidental that it is both of them. I have looked at the Haynes and the Service manual but for my skill level I can see anything that would affect only the side markers.
Do you know anything that would affect only them? Side note, when I step on the brakes the voltage gauge goes down is that normal or should i be looking for a short? Thanks, Neille |

If your belts are tight, the voltage gauge is telling you that your battery/charging setup needs to be tested. Battery-selling places will do that for free. Your alternator needs to put out over 14v while charging the battery/running stuff. Check that. If it's less, your alt is dying. Replace it. Also your battery may be old and not holding its charge well. Check all your batt/alt cables and connections. Dump the crappy batt terminals and get good ones. If you get a new batt, get one with more cold crank amps than your Z requires. Z31s need very reliable electrical power every minute or stuff starts acting weird all over the place. It will make you crazy looking for problems elsewhere - when it's just your DC power supply :icon_eyes: |
