msupra1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) When I first got the car, everything was good. This is a 1997 RZ-S 6-speed. After a couple weeks of ownership my marker lights which were blue stopped working. Fast forward about 1 year, I totally forgot about them and I just assumed I removed them or something. I never turn my fog lights switch on, one day I did that, and the blue market lights started working again for another week or so.. and then just stopped again. So the next thing was one of my headlights wouldn't switch on. I figured the bulb was maybe going bad. After flicking them on and off a few times it would stay on, or sometimes go off when driving the car. The issue was with the right headlight mostly, or sometimes the left. So at this point my market lights are not working, and one of my headlight bulbs are randomly staying on or off. A little while after this, one day my turn signals stopped working. When I flick the leaver up or down there would be no 'ticking' sound or green indicator lights wouldn't flash. That was the only issue, when I clicked the hazed light button it worked fine, and my horn worked also. A week after that happened, my hazard lights stopped working, my horn doesn't work, and turn signals. As of a few days ago, after taking my car out of storage for 2 months, the headlights don't work. When I flick the headlights on, the high beams come on which are very dimmed. When I flick the high beam forward, then the right headlight high beam only goes on and Is a lot brighter and the left one turns off. That's the only light that works. When I switch the fog light on, only the right fog like works. So at this moment, when I turn everything on normally without high beam switch or fog lights.. my high beams are on and very dim.. the main headlights are not going on or the marker lights. Also the horn, hazard lights, and turn signals don't work. When I spray washer fluid on the front window, or switch the high beams on and off.. that all seems to work. So I'm not sure if the main issue is in the steering column since it seems like these switches are working in a way? thoughts? Could it possibly be some fuses or some other sort of electrical issue, I'm just trying to see how I could trace it down. Based on these issues I'm having I'm not exactly sure where to check. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great. The car also has an alarm system that does not work from the beginning of ownership.. but all these other issues happened in the past 16 months.

LOGIE Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Do you have cheap HIDs fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msupra1 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Do you have cheap HIDs fitted? Hmm yes I do, some ebay brand. I have not removed them since install. Could they be causing all the issues I have noted though? this is a simple plug-in conversion kit.
