Noticed yesterday that my tail lights don't work anymore.

If I brake, it works fine but having the lights on, just the headlights will work.

Thought I may have blown a fuse while installing the new head unit.

Checked the fuses next to the accelerator pedal and they are all good.

Is the fuse for lights in another fuse box?

Has anyone had this problem before ? Couldn't find anything here or on m35stagea forum.

Just checked all fuses there and they are all good.

Checked the side tail lights and lamps are not blown either. Not sure which taillights are on actually when you turn them on but I think it is the same as the brake light.

What's weird is that my brake lights work fine.

Gonna check the tail light block with my multimeter to see if I get current there at least which I doubt

Edit: Checked, no juice and blew the brake light fuse to be able to locate it. It's near that accelerator pedal.

Edit2 : found this on the forum and can't see the lights fuses in this so there is still hope :)

As I was looking for the bung under the battery, I removed more pieces of the car and found the 3rd fuse box just above the drain bung and the blown fuse too ! :)

So the story is that my new head unit I installed was blowing my tail lights fuse. The harness I got is probably not the good one (even though the HU works perfectly)

After blowing a couple more fuses, I unplugged the heat unit ... (removing the fascia for the 3rd time .. sigh) and fuse didn't blow up anymore.

Here is a picture of the fuse cover in the top right of the engine bay

Seen from an other topic after a long search

DONT NOT GROUND THE RED/BLUE WIRE!!!! it is actually the cabin lights/parkers/tail lights!!!

This! Exactly what I did, blew the fuse

Got music now :) Everything is working again

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
