As I was working on my eclipse, I found out that my turn signals had worked and my reverse lights had worked but my brake lights didnt. My reverse lights onlty worked when I had the car put in nuetral so I went and replaced the nuetral safety switch and it worked, but now none of my lights are working and i dont know why, could it be the fuses or do I need to have everything rewired?
 
I'm having trouble understanding most of your post. Sounds like 1) you have no exterior lights working on your car 2) you replace a neutral switch for a reverse light problem. Is that about the size of it? It's very helpful for us out here in internet land if you just make a list of the things you have fixed and the symptoms you have. What lights were working before, what is working now? What happened in between?
 
Sorry bout that, but my turn signal lights were working and my reverse we're working but my reverse lights were only working when i had the car in nuetral, plus my shifter was bad so i had to replace the nuetral safety switch and everythign seemed to work fine, but the next day, all my lights stopped working except for the interior lights, they still work but my exterior lights don't.
 
Hey, I just noticed we're neighbors. Man, the weather today was awesome! :thumb:

I would be checking the big goofy Lego fuses over by the battery. Do you have headlights? See if your flashers work, have someone watch your brake lights when you step on the pedal. See if any of your lights come on, check the fuses (a blown fuse should look different from a good one). You can switch out fuses that have the same number on them to check them. Once you find the bad fuse, you still need to figure out what blew it.

There are a million wires and grounds and stuff on these cars, we need solid black and white facts = When I turn the lights on with the switch on the steering column, the headlights work, but the corner lights don't, for example. It's possible for the flashers to work and not the turn signals, even though they light the same bulbs.

I don't want to sound like your teacher, but try and break your posts up into sentences and paragraphs, it makes it so much easier to read. Both you posts are only one sentence! :beatentodeath:
 
Its good to finally find someone in indy...LOL. But everybody who was supposed to come help me with the car never came so I can't even tell if they come on or not. I couldnt do it now anyways cause im in the process of taking out the motor so I can swap in a jdm cyclone motor once I buy the gvr-4 front clip. But I need to sell the motor i have now in order to get it.
