electrical help

[an_orange_s2k]

so i just finished my silvia conversion and everything works except the running lights 3rd brake light and dash/center console doesnt light up, basically the step before turing on your headlights is out. my headlights, signals, emergency, other brake lights, and cabin lights work. i checked the fuses and they all seem fine, so i guessed i missed something. thanks for the help

What is a "silvia conversion"? S13 fixed headlights? SR swap? What?

Brake lights are on a different circuit than the rest. It goes battery - 10A fuse - footbrake switch - rear brake lights.

Parking lights go battery - 10A fuse - combo light switch - front/rear parking lights and dash illumination


Check the front left fender harness to see if the wheel ate it. Also check for a short in the wiring harness which would cause all the current to go straight to ground instead of going to the light bulbs.

Read the FSM.
