I'm going to take a good look at those links tonight and see what I can find, thanks for the recommendations.
I had a few hours on the car today. Some good, some bad.
The indicators and hazard lights are now fixed. The hazard light switch contacts were corroded. I found a hand drawn diagram that Rob Gaskin produced back in 2020 here on the site. That demonstrated the hazard and indicator wiring which enabled me to track the issue. Again, being a member of this site pays off. Thanks Rob.
The heater fan is now working as are the parking lamps. These were dirty switches again. I've never seen a switch for L/R parking lamps (image above) on a Zed console before but perhaps I'm mistaken, or is it a JDM thing? I seem to recall a JDM car I had many years ago having a similar parking light arrangement.
Before I started I did have sidelights front and rear, however after my fiddling I've lost those. I did notice that fuse 10 started to glow and blow out when I was checking through the box. I was starting to lose the light by then so called it a day.
One very good thing to report is that the Rally clock is now working. The oscillator box is humming along nicely. I'd like to report that this was due to a process of convoluted testing and diagnostic skill. After checking there was power to the oscillator box I gave the top of the dash a good thump and it sprang to life. Chuffed. It seems to be holding time also. I wish it was easy to post a video of it here but I don't have a YouTube account or any of that type of thing.
I also reversed a lot of historic fu&kwittery in the form of dodgy loom splicing and Scotchlocks (hate those things).
Another interesting thing. I can't find any evidence that the car has ever been fitted with a screenwash system. There is no washer bottle, pump, pipework or jets. In fact I can't see any evidence that it was ever fitted. There are no depressions in the paint from fixing points on the bulkhead nor any bracketry. I can see plugs in the area so I assume the loom is prepared for it.
I really do need to find a wiring diagram or at least the fuse designations to help with the remaining issues. The only Fairlady Z manual I can find is a Japanese text version and that is more orientated to vehicle ownership. Would a factory service manual PDF/print version contain this, and if so which model would be closest - early 260Z? Where would I find a FSM? I have searched all over.
