My first Nissan ever... 92 240sx.

So everything is pretty much in order with the car except a few bugs. I haven't spent anytime investigating for myself yet, just thought I'd throw this up, maybe it's common.

I step on the brakes and everything comes on as if I turned my lights on (except headlights).

Also, occasionally after I've had the headlights on, the driver's light stays on when I shut them off. I hit the dimmer switch and it goes out after the high beams flash.

 

my brakes did that... it was a wire grounding out on the pedal arm...(my old black s13)

 

my car does the same thing turns on my blinkers,brakes,gauge lights lol..
find out what and let me know lol

 

hopefully I'll have some time this weekend. BTW, looking for a RB26/6-speed swap

 

ok, so while I was installing the clutch and brake pedals, I found the culprit... a broken brake light switch. The brake light issue is gone, but the headlight issue remains. I think the light/signal switch is garbage.

anybody have one?

 

so you fixed the hitting the brake pedal and all the lights would turn on??? witch switch broke under there i need to fix mine lol..

and are your headlights just staying up or what?

 

^No, I was wrong... the problem persists.Yes my headlight motors do not work.

I think I also have a faulty multi-switch (turn signal/high beam) If I fiddle with it, the drivers headlight comes on/off. Maybe both issues are related

Still an open issue guys, any suggestions?

 

Sounds like the Head light Stalk switch (the blinker head light switch) You can easily remove it and open it up and clean the contacts with some sand paper and see if that helps.

 

Same shit use to go on with my s14 (brake thing)

 

did you ever fix it? if so, please share how you did it.
