So I just picked up my first s13 today, a SOHC 1990 Hatch on isis coilovers & some SSR reps. The PO had fit some nonsense eBay fake type x lookin taillights & the wiring is all sorts of weird. Half the sockets don't receive power. My biggest proem though is that my right side blinkers do not work. I had them clicking while in my driveway and dash lights coming on, but I pull out of my driveway and the dash light is stuck on & nd no more clicking.

Could just having two burnt out bulbs cause it to act like that? The wiring harness in the fender was a little chewed up, but I don't know if that could have effect. Particularly a yellow-green wire I believe, on the right side. Any help sorting this would be much appreciated lol. Thanks & I'm glad to finally be back in an S chassis!(;

Figured it out just both bulbs were cacked & it didn't know what to do. Now to diagnose a flashy/dim left brake light/running light...

See the factory service manual for the wiring diagrams.

Not trying to come off like a douche, but if you have the FSM, then use it to correct the tail light wiring. It's not that difficult because there aren't a ton of wires in that section.

Yes, I know that. No offense taken. But the guy has looped the wiring all around, jumping in line from brake lights to rubbing lights to hazards & nothing did as it was supposed to. I could've just re wired it all, but figured sorting all his dumb shit back to correct was probably going to take the same amount of time.

As said... All that needed to be done was remove a few useless wires & re do ALL his connections. All were done by way of in line splice, not even crimped or soldered. Smh
