Ok, I've posted this on another nissan forum, to not much avail... so I'll copy/paste the info I've posted in the other thread, and hopefully some of you technical gurus can help me out..
Assistance with fuse circuit, please
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to figure out what EVERYTHING that rides the "R" circuit.. The "R" curcuit is the 10A fuse, dash fuse panel, right-side, 3rd from the top.
I know the clock in the instr. cluster and the dome light are on it, but what else? Reason I'm working on it, is, there is no voltage on either fuse pin. If I put a fuse in it, still nothing. if I slightly bind the fuse, the clock will work. soon as I let go, it goes back off. I've tightened up the pinchpins in the fusebox to hold the fuse tightly, but apparently that isn't the issue.. So I need to find out everything that is on the circuit, so that I know what all is affected by this issue. I am going to fix it, but I want to know the circuit. I've read through the wiring diagram 1000x and I've become cross-eyed!
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

The red/black wire from the 10A fuse feeds the following:
- interior lamp(s)
- radio
- clock
- warning chime
- time control unit
- A/T control unit
- head-up display control unit
- automatic seat belt control unit
- HICAS control unit
- auto antenna timer

sweetnes!! Thanks! where'd you find the info?
Im gonna try to figure out why this fuse creates all kinds of issues if I slightly bind it..
Im sure it's all tied back to the prev. owner and all the wiring issues I've been fixing. Like, the auto seatbelts will stay in the rear position, then turn on the parking lights, with the door open, and they move forward! wacky...
Ok, here's where Im at with the issue:
I've removed the two 10mm bolts holding the fuse panel to the kick panel.. But it won't hardly budge... I mean, I can move it, but I cannot move it out into a viewing area to save my soul....
One thing, I also noticed.. When I push on the fuse, the door bell/lights-on bell begins to ring, the domelight comes on, and the clock starts working.. Then I just noticed.. The parking lights come on, as well, even though the lightswitch is in the OFF position...
apparently, when the prev. owner did wiring work, he got something really screwed up.. And I've got no idea where to start to look.. So currently, Im going through the wiring harness diagrams, again, to see where these two circuits may have gotten crossed, or at least a chance where..
so that's where I stand with it now.. I've finally gotten the fuseblock down enough to see, and things seem "okay" there, as far as wiring.. I did pull the fuse, and used my testlight to check the terminals for the fuse.. the feed-side (inner) has 12vdc constant, and the other side (circuit-side) doesnt.. Then when I turn the park lights on, the circuit-side goes to 12v, and the domelight and clock come on.. ARG... The only place I can think of, where the two would cross, is the radio plug, and it seems fine... So I'm at a loss..:-/
