Discussions about what starter is better than others and how rebuilt starter's quality can be hit or miss have popped up from time to time. The starter on my 79 zx was getting slower and without even checking it with my multimeter I knew it was time to install a new one. I opted for the WAI new starter from Rock Auto. ($150.00 ) It arrived well packaged, including bench test results and really looked like a quality made part. I installed it yesterday and I'm really happy with it. It sounds great and really spins the engine over much faster that my old one did in years. I hope it will last!

If only the left side is blinking with the hazard switch, that means you have another problem as both sides should be blinking with that switch.

I’ll check tomorrow, thanks

This is all great stuff. Thanks. I'll dig into it this weekend. The Hazard light circuit is a high contender since it is the only one to bypass the ignition power circuit. The second thing that points to this is that I took the turn/combination switch/stalk out, unplugged it, and it was still going.

Do you have power to anything when the key is in ACC or ON? Have you checked for voltage at the black/yellow wire for the starter solenoid when someone is holding the key in START? Start there and tell us what you find.

@Mike

Has anybody worked on the wiring to "fix" a problem? Those "fixes" frequently involve finding some wire with voltage and tapping into that. The turn signals are powered through the ignition relay. If the key is not in ON, the ignition relay won't complete the circuit for the turn signals, As @Zed Head suggested, the next thing to look at would be the hazard lights. Normally if you pull the hazard switch that would kill the power to the turn signals. If the blinker is still going with the hazard switch disconnected, that would indicate some creative wiring has been done to the car. You can also pull the turn signal fuse to see if that kills the problem. If not, pull the hazard light fuse. The turn signal fuse is in blue, and the hazard light fuse is in red below. If neither fuse fixes the problem, that still points to creative wiring. More questions: How long have you owned the car? Have you experienced any other electrical glitches? Look under the dash on both sides and around the kick panels. Do any wires look like they have been spliced, cut, or otherwise altered? If so, look for wire colors (with stripes). Do you see any electrical tape that looks newer than the wiring harness?

So I took my dash partially out of my 73 240z to replace my heater hoses. I’ve since replaced the hoses and put the dash back. Now my car won’t crank. When I turn the key, the fuel pump runs and the relay on the passenger side floor clicks as normal but no crank. Any ideas?

On second thought it might be the Hazard switch. Lots of mysteriousness in there. It has power when the key is off. @SteveJ seems to feel comfortable with it. "even when car is off"

Pretty easy to remove. Something I learned - the ring around the ignition switch will pop out about 1/8" to allow you to remove the plastic shield around the column without breaking the corners off. Appears to be designed for that purpose.

It's probably the mechanism in the combination switch. Not likely to be the flasher. There is no separate turn signal relay.

1978 Z. Started the car, all of a sudden my left blinker went on. Couldn't control it from the stalk. Staid on when the car is shut off. Disconnected the stalk from the wiring harness. The blinker stayed on. I finally stopped it by pulling the blinker relay. Thoughts? My first thought is to replace the relay. Thanks

Wow…..What a shame…..a real nightmare to a company trying to “get its legs”.

How can it not know what it is? That movie is so underappreciated. I think I need to watch it again.

@jeongjihye What do you think of Lee Jae Myung? Is he a good leader? Would he drive a 240Z?

For your IQ, you are damn stupid. Well, since you think I am an AI, then I am. What do you get? Ridiculous guy, sad. There is absolutely no point here, it's time to leave
