Lights not working....

[Sirdingo]

mine had the same issue, no tail lights but i had headlights, and brakelights and no dash lights, i pulled apart the switch and i found it had melted , replaced it with a new one from nissan and it was good to go

YEUUH!! my problem is solved, after pulling apart the dash, center console, following wires, attatching and detaching fuses. It was so simple and i actually feel really stupid.. i guess i just didnt check my fuses too well(half ashed it). Figured out my problems by checking every single fuse under the dash clearly looking at every single detail of the fusebox and fuses. Tail lights and meter, were the two blown fuses when i looked closely through it's transparent walls. I feel kind of stupid but did'nt notice till an hour ago that one of the previous owners were running 20A on both the tail lights and meter when they were suppose to be 10A. Blown fuses/fire hazard were just bound to happen.. however, in solving my problem, i now have a battery just struggling to stay alive.

maybe you have a short somewhere in the circuit...

If this happened after you installed a stereo, make sure you grounded the unit to something metal behind the dash, NOT one of the wires in the harness. This will blow tail light fuses.
Aftermarket stereo's in our cars need to be grounded on their own, TO THE CHASSIS.
Hope this helps

Man... if only i knew that during summer Thanks RixR32 that was the problem. I managed to get all the lights that i've had trouble with to light up. Only issue my driver side inner brake light won't light up when i hit the brakes but does work when the light switch is turned on. Obviously not a burnt bulb so where would be an idea to look for the problem?

So the brake light gets brighter as it should with the lights on, but does nothing at all when lights are off?
Try to check at night and find out exactly whats it's doing, could be a bad ground. Usually with that though, brakes lights work fine with lights off, but when lights are ON and you hit the brakes everythin goes out (tail AND brake light).
Kinda confusing I know....

Sorry let me rephrase that. (oo skyline Oo)... O= the brakelight that doesnt work however it does illuminate with light switch. So when headlights are switched on, all tail lights work. Reverse lights work either or, and when i apply the brakes ( both when headlight switch is on and off) 3/4 brake lights work. Sorry for the mix up, you can probably tell that im very confused. Im now thinking it could be the bulb socket itself or the wires leading up to the bulb

[RixR32]

Replace the bulb to start. It IS possible to burn out just the brake light filament. Bulbs are cheap.
Then go chasing wires if it doesn't work.

*Edit - I do have the panels with the bulbs off my parts car for sale if it ends up being that....
