Your 1977 Datsun 280Z dashboard lights stopped working and not sure what to do?

The dash lights and tail lights ar on the same circuit. After brining mine to a so called auto electrician, and stripping all of the light connections and checking fuses, connections etc it was determined that dash lights and tail lights were not working as there was break in the wiring somewhere. This would have invoilved weeks of tracing the complete lighting loom, or wiring a separate line to the tail lights and dash lights and a fusable link for both at considerable cost, and devalue to car. I was unwilling to trust the findings of these guys so when I got home i took off the steering colum cowling and disconnected the light switch block connection. I used a simple circuit tester to see if there was power coming to and from both sides when lights on and there was. I then pressed the block back together but really hard so they were all definitely connecting and hey presto... dash lights and tail lights now working perfectly. Sometimes the simplist explanation is the best. Give it a try.

The Tailights and Dashboard Lights Have stopped working anyone know why this would happen?
Tail-lights and dashboard lights are on the same switch on the dashboard and on the same fuse. Check the fuse and if that's not it check the switch. Check the fuse underneath the hood. There are some main fuses underneath the hood. I had the same problem on my Chevy P-U when I lowered my boat into the lake, it blew the fuse underneath the hood and I had no tail or dash lights.
