So my Cefiro has conjured wiring demons yet again, and this time they're attacking my Power Window fuse and both headlight fuses. Headlights go for about 2 days, but unable to track down when exactly they pop. But it seems like they'll work and then not work. Power window fuse definitely pops, when my windows are down and the car is turned off/on. Car was parked up for a bit in the garage while I installed an R200 LSD so there could be a possibility of corrosion of sorts.

I'd love to find one in Japanese to be fair. Then it can be translated by someone who can read it and we don't have to pay $150 for a translated one through JPNZ

Sorry to necro an older thread, but I'm trying to figure out whether you need the B-stamped gbox crossmember or the A-stamped one. This website here: (http://www.subituned.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=310629) states the factory manual S13-S15 came with B-stamped crossmembers as their manual ones rather than the A-stamped as earlier suggested in other threads.

Anyone ever replaced the Cefiro radio antenna? Want something that works like factory and folds away, extends and retracts with the switch.

So it turns out that the park lights didn't come on because the internal circuit in the stalk. Replacing the stalk itself fixed the issue completely!

I've just bridged the contacts. seems to be working. will go and get my WOF with the fix in place, but I might look into another stalk.

Sounds like a plan. While I had the stalk out, I used a screwdriver to bridge the center contact with the contacts on either side of it and the system worked fine, so my assumption was the switch worked fine but there was something further along in the circuit that wasn't bridging it properly. EDIT* Although now that you mention things popping... I had my left hand headlight die around, if not at the same time, as my running lights failing... but my headlight fuses are perfectly fine. Possibly a bad earth around the headlights?

My 1988 Nissan Cefiro has recently failed a WOF on the park, tail and license plate lamps not illuminating with the headlights. Hasn't been working for a few weeks but haven't gotten around to looking into it. Figured it could be the headlight switch on the steering column but testing it seems to show that's not the problem. I've looked at and replaced the blown fuses on the interior fuse block and that's not the problem. I've looked at and tested the tail light relay in the engine bay and thats' not the problem. I have looked into the auto light relay unit in behind the right headlight, and have found slight corrosion on one of the relay power pins, however I don't know if thats the right issue. I'm pretty stumped, and it's probably going to come down to a shorted wire somewhere in the circuit... What do you guys reckon?
