seatbelt, clock, and radio problem - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I had this exact problem which happened to be the blown fuse everyone was referring to. It happened as I was trying to steal power from the stereo unit to use for lights under the dash. I decided (brilliantly) to pinch the wire behind a nut and washer connected to the passenger side firewall and torqued the shit out of it until it bit through the rubber wire coating. Then when I flicked the switch for my lights I caused a short and blew the fuse. Replaced the fuse, removed the short and found another way to attach the wire.

For others with this problem there might be a short somewhere along your stereo unit's power line, especially if it was a mongolian or DIY install.

I'm currently having the exact same issue as the op. My room lamp fuse is blown but every time I change it. It'll blow again instantly. Anyone figured out what exactly the problem is?

Also, I can't find the battery electronics fuse anywhere. Is it only on the s14?

Thanks for bumping this. I too have the same problem. Absolutely no power to anything with the key off. It sucks at night cause the lights don't come on when i open the door. Plus my clock and radio keep resetting every time i turn the car off.

I have the same problem (seatbelts only work when key is in the "ON" position, domelight doesn't work and the bulb is fine, cluster light dimmer switch doesn't work, radio doesn't work, etc.), and I think this may be the fix: Fix for 240sx instrument panel / dash lights NICO Club

I have yet to try it, but it's worth a shot

Any fixes on this??
decided to bump because im having the excat same problem. no power to radio, interior lights, seatbelts only work with the switch on, cluster clock only works with the door closed.
Fuses are good and have replaced tcu and nothing. Checked for power on R&B wire on the radio and looks like i have no power going to it and im pretty sure that wire should have battery power all the time.
