Originally posted by UofLsentra I just always keep my dimmer switch just barely underneath full power as a "fix." There's hardly a difference in light, and it doesn't short at all this way. Just moving the wheel for a second works, too, but tedious.
I use to have that annoying short with friends in the car and mess with their heads. I acted like the whole car died, very fun stuff.
Has anyone's little "light" part on the cruise control switch right by the dimmer broken. I pushed it too hard once and the film is all messed up there now. Any fixes? And there's this little spot under all that that looks like it could go to another switch what is that, sunroof possibly?
amen dude, simple FREE solution

glad it's all working 2nr. At first I didn't understand the setup, then I realized it's the positive feed that's constant. The dimmer runs the negative side of the circuit. If the tails and all burnt out, it's just a fuse under the hood.
Originally posted by 1997 GA16DE Sorry guys, I was wrong. Tie the black wire to the red/ylo wire. The other red wire (red/grn and sometimes red/blu) needs to be taped up (so it doesn't accidently touch something) and can just hang disconnected.
i was about to say.. ohhh noo LOL..... yeah... i have done SOOO many fog lights and headlight wirings by now.. im not a car electrician... but.. like hes been saying.. but there are the need for three wires.. one.. your ground.. your right... one.. your hotwire.. and one.. is for the power to the switch itself .. (i dont remember if there was any sort of light that the switch needed for itself or not... ) if that was the case.. but if there is no wording such as (dimmer) or anything that would light up on the switch.. then i dont know what the hell the other wire would be for.. unless that switch itself needs it because of the dimmer selection.. just thought i would add my two cents..

morons like this start threads all the time. They probably want a 240sx because its what is hot right now instead of a honda civic and wants to drift in a shopping parking lot...dumb and unsafe.guys like this can't handle the power of a vehicle and want the numbers for bragging rights,only to find themselves wrapped around a tree.
Damn I screwed it up. I accidently did something wrong. My lights don't turn on. I thought it was the dimmer switch, but I took it to my other sentra, and it worked on that sentra. But it didn't work on mine. I think i accidently touched all 3 wires or something. Now I cant see how fast i'm going at night boo hoo. What do I do now?
I just came across the same problem. Gauges were out, HVAC was out, taillights were out, but stereo was working. Turned out to be the last thing I checked which was the taillight fuse under the hood (not under the dash). Thanks to everyone that contributed to this post! It made troubleshooting much easier!
