Odd electrical issue..

[Glitchyboy117]

Hey all, new to gtr's here. Just got my R32 gtr not too long ago. Rebuilt the motor over something like 4 months and got it back in the car and been fixing small things here and there. 

The issue I'm currently having is the harness that goes back to the trans and plug into reverse switch, and other plug down there, got caught in the front driveshaft and torn off (my own stupidity for not securing it) after putting in a new harness. My reverse lights are constantly on, the right rear blinker stopped working(tried bulb in left rear and works), and also all the speakers on the right side don't work. The question is are the blinker and speaker circuits somehow related to that harness underneath? Any tips on where to look first?

 

Thanks in advanced.

Not related. Separate issues. Standard electrical wiring troubleshooting required. Find the power source on the wiring diagram, find the earth, find the switch. Work out where the pixies can't* squeeze through any more.

*Or in the case of the reverse switch, that the switch was probably damaged when you yanked on the wiring and it is now stuck on/shorted.

I agree. I don't believe these would be related.

 

Without a wiring diagram, you'll need to trace the wires in their entirity. Start with the fuses.

 

Possibly something has shorted at your battery or fuse box. If not check all the way down the wiring and make sure to check and clean earthing points just in case.
