Bad Switch??...Hopefully

kgreen · 03-21-2010, 11:53 AM

I received my LEDs from yourledshop.com..i installed Thursday and everything seemed to go smoothly and worked fine. Friday night i get home and noticed that one of the license plate lights were out. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting hoping it was just bad contact or something. It never worked so i was going to switch that one with the trunk and just wait on a another one to arrive. I put the LED in and now either one work! Trying to troubleshoot and then noticed that my nighttime run lights dont work either! Checked the fuses and everything is fine...took it to Nissan and they said it would be the switch. So no driving for me at night...gotta take it in the morning and im hoping they have one in stock. sorry jus needed to tell my story to ppl that feel my pain

so the LEDs are not the problem? sounds like a fuse issue.

thats what i thought i checked every single fuse and didnt see a problem

if fuse is okay, i would check the LED, then ground, then switch, relay (if applicable).
