Hi guys,
I have just bought a 1976 280z. The car passed smog and is in a great physical condition. There are a few issues like a sun roof that was supported by 2x4 wooden blocks from inside, non-working temp/fuel/voltage gauges, seized up a/c pulley, disconnected a/c, bad brakes and door bell switch mounted on the side of the steering column as a horn :-). The inside illumination for gauges works, the tach works as well.
I downloaded the wiring service manual for 1976 and it shows only 1 ignition relay (page BE-36). All gauges connect through this relay. I took the relay block apart (pass. side) and I found 2 relays hooked together,part B5230-W0500, MR5A031A1K 12v!
How can I test them before I start ordering them? Courtesy parts shows 25230-89915 part for ignition relay, is it interchangeable with 76 model (5230-W0500)? Who else sells them?
I found some posts on putting headlight relays to provide more juice for them. Mine does the opposite - my parking lights flicker at different RPMs, is there a similar fix?
Thanks in advance,
Den
