Tail lights/Instument Panel blowing fuses::HELP::

Ok so the other day i noticed my intsrument lights not working as well as my taillights. So I located the fuse and say that it was blown. Replaced it and worked fine. Then that night they weren't working again so i replaced it again and it went out again. Now I haven't done anything to my tail lights or instrument panel so i donno why it's doing this.

I do however have the passenger side wire harness tuck, but i have everything apart right now and there are no exposed/cut wires so i have no idea what is goin on.

I've been searching and can't find anything on a wiring schematic. Does anyone know where i could possibly find one, or which color wires i should look for that come off the fuse box so i can follow it and see if i can locate the problem.


Thanks!!!

Lemme add the last time i took it apart everything seemed fine even drove around and they worked. Then they just went out. Could it possibly be a relay or something thats bad. I would think if it was a short the fuse would blow instantly!!

Here's a few good service manuals for different components on the 2006 G35 Coupe. I noticed many of them have schematics for wiring. I'm not sure if it's gonna help you out but you can check them out here: http://x.infinitihelp.com/forum/loca...s.php?catid=22

Just register and you can download the service manuals.

Sounds like a short to me. Do you have any aftermarket electronic accessories that are tapped into that circuit?

All the grounds are grounded, and no accessories tapped it.

If i could just find out what wires to look for i can run them back and see...

It could be a faulty ignition switch. The same problem has happened to me on 2 previous cars and that was the issue. It's worth checking out if nothing else seems to be causing it.

Looking for the same solution, no tail lights and no centre console lights. I am having a feeling it is a relay
