hey guys

i'm searched many forums but couldnt find a solution to my problem..lemme start with the whole story..I drive an R34 GTT..

my boost guage metre's supply and ground wire went loose and touched each other and caused a spark which lead to my dash board light and tail light fuse gone. since it happened on a night and i didnt wanna be driving without taillights i replaced the spoilt fuse with my horn fuse..since then my battery started overcharging to more than 15v..noticed it 2 days later..after checkin the forums found out that if u remove the horn fuse for some reason the alternator wil overcharge the battery..so i got a new fuse for the horn and the overcharging stopped..alternator chargin the battery at 14 something now..

but since then my clock always reset to 1am and trip meter resets to 0 everytime i start the car..

central locking doesnt work anymore, cabin lights and ignition key lights doesnt come on when i open the car,

warning lbeep when i leave the lights on or the keys on ignition doesnt work anymore,

the lights of my boost meter doesnt work anymore but boost is readin correctly

and lastly my front defogger keep blinking for 15 seconds and makes some wierd noices until it goes off...

i've checked all fuses from the engine bay and the drivers side...is there another fuse box hidden anywhere/??? what do u think may have caused all this problems/?? do u guys think wires from the battery got melted coz of the overcharging?? or the alternator or battery itself has to checked or replaced or whatever??? car starts normally so battery seems alright..pls guys any help would be appreciated..

cheers

Jai

Try disconnecting the battery, turn the ignition on and use your brake or headlights, then reconnect the battery and see what happens??

Sounds like you should have an error code, but a battery reset will likely work OK.

done exactly as u said..still got trouble..any other suggestions..? about the error codes do i have to take it to a mechanic for diagnostics???

Probably best to take it to a nissan mechanic, one of the Skyline ones preferably, but others on SAU may be able to help if you want to wait?

does anyone of mechanics in south east melbourne specialised in skylines????

I'm not sure if this will work....

Ensure all the fuses are at the correct ratings... you may have to check each fuse one at a time.

Not sure if Nissan's use a "body control module" (like the Holden Commodore's), which control door locks etc... - It could possibly be fried from the over charging....

There could be another short in the system somewhere - Probably best bring it to an auto elec first rather than a mech, as this issue seems electrical.

So, the clock resets to 1 when you switch the engine off (key at ACC)? Or the clock / trip resets after you start the engine?

I would suggest that the clock and trip meter have lost the battery backup power - perhaps an in-line fuse has blown.

hey checked all fuses earlier..its all at the correct ratings...btw what's the body control module? and hey my clock/ trip resets after i start the engine and not when i switch off the engine with the key at ACC... even i reckon that the battery backup power has been lost...but where is it if its just a fuse???

Hi every1,

I had this issue today. Thought i'd post the fix as a reference as this thread is the first thing that came up in google when i searched.

Issue can be fixed by changing the 10A bat fuse in the drivers side interior fuse box. If u have this issue chances are its either blown or maybe even missing (as it was in my case).

Diagram of the fuse box (with english translation sticker beside it) is attached.

Hopefully this will help some1 one day.

Thanx.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
