Need help, no running lights...

USMCASA · 10-15-2011, 01:13 PM

Installed led replacement bulbs in the license plate lights and when i put the bulb in for testing all rear lights went out. Went to the front to test up front and same happened. HID's come on but no leds or running lights up front or running lights on the rear. Brake lights up but don't come on when you turn the lights on. Checked the fuses and don't see one for running lights...

Any help would be appreciated.

I wish I could help. With over 60,000 miles on your Z, no point going to dealership.

Good luck.

Have you check the battery area? If I remember right there is a fuse panel under the battery but I think you need to pull part of the wheel liner to get to it. Another member mentioned it that he had similar problems and found that fusebox hidden. I hope that helps

found it, unlisted fuse box next to the battery. f u nissan for not listing it in the manual. its really easy to get to. remove battery cover, remove about 4-5 push clips and then push tabs down on fuse box to let you pull it out to where you can work with it. there is about 6-8" of slack in the cables. pop the cover off and the top 2 10amp fuses had blown. superbrightled's sent me a bad led and no matter how you turned it the thing would pop a fuse.

Thats good to know exactly where it is. This will be useful in the future for others.
Sorry you had a bad set. But once done they do look much better than the amber looking bulbs. Good Luck
