No power to ignition - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So, today I went to head to the city in my 240, fired up fine. Let it warm up, looked at the gauges. I have my fuel gauge, and that only. Began to run through to see what worked and did not. Everything worked prior to today.

So the list of things that do NOT work:
Blower motor
Radio
Signal lights (but hazards do work)
Rear defrost
Gauges
Dummy lights in the cluster (ebrake light, etc)

What DOES work:
Wipers
Dome lights
Gauge lights
Horn
Fuel gauge

I checked the fuses with a sh**ty multimeter, they were all good. Ignition portion of the fuse block had very minimal movement on the need of the multimeter, but not enough to light up a random LED strip.

I searched similar issues and checked the brown connector under the dash

No visual issues, no burns or corrosion on terminals.

Can anyone chime in? Any help is appreciated.

Just tried jumping the ignition power at the ignition switch, no go. I'm stumped.

Solder, dual wall shrink tube and a roll of electrical tape later, I have accessories again!
