in need of some help... i was tapping into the two wires that go the the little light around the barrel and i had bumped the two together coursing it to arc out...

since then my light dose not work after i have changed the bulb and checked all the fuses and there was none that where blown, where do these two wires go as i was wondering if there is a fuse down the line or dose it go to a relay

i am now dumb founded and at ends with it frustrated and ready to burn it,

iv tried to track the wires but loose the after about 4' coz it goes into the big loom with all the ignition wires any help will be a advantage

P.S reason i was tapping into them was coz i was steeling the power to run my led floor lights as the light that gos around the barrel times out once the doors are shut

This may help:

the relays under the steering colum are where i would start if you can't find any blown fuse on the boards with the panel near the steering wheel. You may hear them clicking when you lock and unlock the doors.

Hi Ramstar,

Did you solve this problem? I had the same thing happen to me last night whilst changing cluster globes to LED's.

Changed the globes behind the instrument cluster & climate control unit & Gauge Pod..Blue looks awsum...But....

I went to investigate if the ignition barrel light globe could be replaced, accidentally broke the globe in the balast and now...no interior light nor map lights which worked fine previous to this.

I have tested all fuses in the interior fuse box - all fine. Also tested the interior dome light for power supply - none.

No power at the ignition barrel light plug either.

Wondering if anyone may have knowledge of any other fuses for interior lighting?

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
