GldnBbyNuts · 08-15-2011, 08:13 PM

SLiDe_WaYz · 08-15-2011, 08:19 PM

Wait, are you the guy that just bought the s14 in Shreveport on 318? Anyways do your reverse lights work, maybe the reverse wires are broken for the rear lights. Mine don't work in my SR.

GldnBbyNuts · 08-15-2011, 08:23 PM

something else i noticed...sometimes while im driving the door open light flashes on and off and my dome light flickers with it....

^^^^ your door switch is faulty or loose. Look by the door jamb, there a little switch. All I did to fix that problem is put 3m adhesive tape because it's thick so it holds the switch in while I drive.

Edit: I'll try to get a pic up if this is confusing. Check both driver and passenger side.

First thing to always check is the wiring under the fenders.. thats where 90% of all 240 wiring problem starts from. Next check the lower harness for any short. If not check your relays because they are not closing properly.

Alright tire well wire harness is the first thing to check. next check your transmisson a lot of times the lower harness is always jacked up and the sensor for reverse, fifth gear, and neutral safety are broken or jerry rigged in some sort of way. that should fix your reverse lights. radio flickering check that the radio is grounded just through the radios antenna is not good enough. other than that I dont know bro hopefully this helps you some.

Thanks a lot derrick ill check that when it cools down outside.

Ok update...I fixed the window rolled up and dome light problem and the reverse light problem! Didn't get a Chance to pull my fender to check the other stuff yet...

New problem occurred...these lights sometimes stay on even after I've turned the car off and taken the keys out

Could it be the same culprit?
