I had to replace the fusebox as it was badly corroded and now all seems to be working ok, except my indicators and electric windows which are both completely dead on both sides (hazard lights work ok though) - have you any suggestions what to check? here are some pictures showing how i fixed the drain on mine...

my issues were in the drivers side but id say the passenger side is the same setup. I had to replaced the fusebox as it was badly corroded and all seems to be working ok, except my indicators and electric windows which are both completly dead on both sides (hazard lights work ok) - JeffTT have you any suggestions what to check?

heres how i fixed mine... hopefully u figured this out seven or eight months ago! http://s298.photobucket.com/albums/mm275/ZX300ZX/Leak/

did you find out what was causing this fault - i'm having a similar problem - indicators and both windows are not working on my car at the moment and i'd appreciate any pointers on what to look for...

I have this same problem - pulled out the fusebox from the drivers side footwell and disconnected all the plugs. when you look up behind where the fusebox is located on my car i can see a clear plastic hose hanging down that is dripping water directly on to the wires that run into the back of the fuse box. It has corroded plenty of terminals on the front and back of the fuse box. I suspect this hose runs down inside the a pillar along the side of the windscreen drains water from the roof or from the bottom of the windscreen. it looks like the lower half of this hose has become disconnected (and disappeared) i presume it should drain out into the front wheel arch area... will update if / when i find a way to stop the leak.

... just thinking out loud here but if I remember right its the heat that causes the ptu to fail so I'm hoping it runs better after cooling down... should know pretty soon anyway

I have a PTU that I bought in and didnt need for the other Z so I've got two spares to play around with (I was going to bring one to the trip to the uk just in case) & I think they're the same for the TT & the NA. this noise i was getting sounded like a fairly unhappy/serious sounding knocking mechanical noise. It'd be sweet if the PTU sorts it out so i'll slap it on tomorrow and see what happens although when has fixing a z ever been that easy??? Its been parked up all day so I'll know a bit more in an hour or two

Keep your eyes peeled on the roads over the next week anyway, if anyone notices a black z pulled in at the side of the road with the hazards on, stop for a chat as theres a very good chance that its me! ha ha !? :o(

Bad news... had a serious loss of power and lots of unplesant noises on the way to work today car lost power when pulling away from the lights and started sounding really rough. I reckon it could possibly be a gearbox problem although noise sounded like it was engine / piston or passenger top end related - it also felt a bit like it might have been over heating (I've been meaning to fit a bigger rad for a couple of weeks) engine gets a bit hot normally but temp gauge was normal (I know they're not too accurate anyway) and oil pressure seemed fine on the dash. Have parked it up to let it cool down and haven't had a chance to suss it out properly yet but I'll work on it all this weekend and keep you posted...

ye they're both mine, the grey one was my first - I was gonna say love but thats not quite right... Its a bit of a donkey as it only ran right for me for about a month and spent half its life in the UK getting "Fixed" by "experts" the black beauty was to be a short term solution, but.... its a long story, I'll bore the life out of u with it some other time!!

see you then then! I can't post pics so here's a link........ http://s298.photobucket.com/albums/mm275/ZX300ZX/

I was mad keen to go for the spin down to waterford but I'm afraid it turns out that I won't be able to make it unless it happens in the next three weeks before April 16th (or the 1st w/end in may 3rd/4th which is probably too close to Z day) as I'll be away out of the country due to unforseen holidays... :headvswal:slap::o:x:

Hay! Y can't I vote?... arrrgh!

Dublin wicklow and waterford good for me too... any of those dates would be grand so I suppose which ever weekend the weathers better is best for me!!! :rofl: :smw: :nana2:

....I thought I had put my name in the hat already but might have signed up in the wrong place? I'm on the ferry along with the (mini?)convoy coming over from Ireland :smw: :duffer:

If the weathers good I'd like to make a stop at the pier in bangor just north of the menai bridge - It's on the way and its well worth visiting... I'll be sure to bring the biscuits if we're stopping in to your place along the way Although i do love the road along the A5 to Betws-y-coed the roads and the scenery through the twisty hilly bits through Snowdonia are going to be very hard to turn down... my zed wakes up in the middle of the night, turns its lights on, starts itself and revs its head off in anticipation - I've had to start disconnecting the battery because the neighbors are complaining

I suppose I'd better make an appearance just to keep an eye on things & make sure you're doing it right, so stick another mick down on the list! - I'll be coming all the way from Ireland - don't worry I'll bring my lucky charms, It'll be grand! see you there :smw:

just booked one way with one passenger so far - not sure if / when i'm coming back...

:hyper: the ferryman just robbed me of €155 :eek: so it looks as if I'll be seeing you all on the 9th.... last on the boat buys the beer!

anyone booked the ferry yet?...... I'm good to go! I like the idea of the fast ferry but I suppose its better to stick with the slow boat if theres more chance of it getting there.... Thesedates look ok to me - let me know when you're booked and i'll book too! DEPART dublin fri 9/05 8.05am ARRIVE holyhead 11.30am DEPART holyhead mon 12/05 2.40am ARRIVE dublin 5.55am

I'm hoping for great things! you never know... I might just make it! better pull it ($£€?) out of the bag some time soon! I doin my level best to be on that boat....

might have a go 'meself if i'm rolling on all four wheels and both turbos by then.... second time lucky! :rofl:

with a small bit of luck I might be joining you the next time 'round... i'll keep ye posted

Smithy, thanks for putting in the effort of getting in touch - John, Dublin
