hey guys,

 

my z has been in my mates storage for the last 3-4 months, ive finnaly got a lil bit of cash to get it on the road, went up to get it tonite , took my new HID kit with me cos the lite wer crap anyway, after filddlin around with the flat battery, shoved another one on for now...i plugged the hid kit in and they wer flashing like strobes, figured i got a bad earth, so ive ended up having to earth each bulb to the body with a spade connector some wire onto the rad bracket. then only one side was working for some unknown reason, i think its because the h3 connector on the harness im only using the live from it, as ive earthd to the body so dont use the second spade to the harnes, it goes to the rad bracket. so i think ive broke the circuit somehow, cos the other side wasnt working at all, so ive had to take the live from the side that was working and wire it to the otherside for now just to get me home... so now my lights are on, or off, got no high beam, and no side lights.

 

im really No good at all with wires, so if anyone could help shed some light on this i would super appreciate it, i wanna be on the road mid next week so ive gotta get busy busy lol. gotta get it up on stands and get under it, see if i can find out wer all the weird noises are coming from haha,

 

also... has anyone got a spare drivers side window black box thingy? mines fried lol.

 

ill keep posted on my progresses...providing there is any :confused:

If they were flickering, this could easily be a power supply problem.

 

Initially,

You sure the battery you put on was any good?

Did it start the car?

Was the car running when you had the lights on?

 

I would certainly start by looking here first :wink:

IIRC as that was my old car, if you read my journal it was a live fault not a earth fault, i had to run a wire from the live on the drivers side headlight to the passenger side head light to get it to work.

 

I take it its the passenger side thats not working?

is that what the black bit of wire is thats slotted into the harness?

 

yes the car was running,

 

thanks for your hekp guys thats shed some light, i thought that was a earth lol

Brake pads were changed just before I sold it they are cheap enough to replace, hand brake was adjusted as well but is simple enough to redo unless you need to change the hand brake shoes
