My s14 had the same issue with cluster and lights and such. New fuses would be burned as soon as i put them in. The wire harness had multiple bald spots and around 10-12 wires where down to bare copper. I stripped the harness to expose any bald wiring. I then had to pull each cable 1 by 1 and tape it up individually. After doing all that my car was all good
The harness has wires that are exposed and touching each other each wire that is exposed needs to be covered Individually, the wires keep touching each other they gonna keep shorting
Try relocating your harness to the side of the wheel barrel instead of under. mines on the side so im not worried about messing with it & easier access
feel ya. I have a short in my S13 that keeps it from running. blew my ECU, a bunch of other stuff. on the DMM/tester, you want to use DC Voltage. should have around 12-14 volts. I've seen buddies have jackstands go through the floor where you are putting them. Try and put them on the frame rails, or at least use some type of plywood between the jack stand and the floor to spread out the weight.
Don’t ever put a bigger fuse in there! You could cause the wire that’s causing the smaller fuse to pop, to catch fire since it’s not popping the fuse. Trust me I did it once and the wire fried big time and I had no clue about wiring all like that at the time. Just be careful man
My man son always doing his best with what he’s got !!! Good luck with the car bro hope to see more content bro, big aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 sheeeeesh🤟🏾
At 6:37 grab a old license plate and use some self tapers to cover the harness. It’s flexible enough to bend but thick enough to shield the wires from the tire. It’s been protecting my harness on my kouki for years now
Green wire looks kinda fooked. You dont want those wires touching homie. Gently separate them and test the continuity one by one. When you're done make sure you heat shrink them individually
Sunny, stop cutting corners, you need to open the wiring harness and check each wire and redo everything, my guess is open wires are touching each other and causing shorts.
Despite all this issues. This car is a work of art and has a beautiful reputation in the jdm community. Those whole can't handle it's little ticks & tear shouldn't be owning one
Yeah dawg your harness is exposed and touching another wire even with that electrical tape and that’s why your fuses keep popping fix that harness before the 240 catches on fire mang 😩
From the other video where you taped up the harness I noticed you didn't cover the wires properly... Any section that has the copper visible needs to be taped up separately so that it has no contact with other wires
I just learned about electrical in school, when your fuse keeps on popping it’s probably short to ground. So I would recommend checking your ground before testing anything else
I'm not sure if you just shortened your 'fix' explanation for the video, but you can NOT just tape around exposed wires to fix the issue. The wires rubbing against the tires is the initial cause, but most certainly you have some shorting in the sections you taped up. You have to make sure any raw wires (showing copper/missing insulation) are not touching each other inside the harness sections that you taped up. Make sure you unwrap that and verify that none of the raw wires are touching each other. Something tells me that's where your short is.
watching sonny work on a car is funny as hell i dont know if hes purposely trying to be funny or if hes for real but either way the boy is a genius lol
Check your relays bro. You also should check the grounds cause you have a short some where or your relay is stuck open and getting hot wired straight from the battery
Hey Sonny, take the electrical tape off and wrap the wires individually! They're exposed and touching each other. And never up the fuse! If the fuse didn't pop, the wire would catch on fire and probably the car too. Stay safe, love the video and motivational words! ❤
You put tape in the wiring harness. Doesnt mean its fixed. Abviously you have a lot of stripped wires that needs replacing or tape them individually at least
Sonny! You need to patch up the wires and fix the short first, no amount of tucking will help with damaged wires. Isolate the individual wires and either replace the exposed wires one by one or if they are still intact; wrap with electrical tape or just get a new harness lol
i mean my car is a monster truck. just pull the harness throught the firewall. there is plenty of room to stuff the harness back there all lazy. just extend wires for lights, use decent wire.
Take the led headlight bulbs out and put the stock bulbs back in. Maybe you a polarity reversed and it can pop a fuse. Take the whole wire harness and run it in the engine bay.
I knew he was gonna have this issue from the last video he posted trying to "fix" it. just putting tape over exposed wires isnt going to fix it. all the bare wires are still making contact with one another, if anything taping them together like that made it worse since now youre holding all the wires together. you need to go through every single stripped wire in that loom and tape it individually and then when each wire is seperated from the next is when u tape them all together to close the loom. that is a fire waiting to happen hes fortunate that fuse box is still doing its job
Bro fix that exposed harness and your problem is solved! That’s why the fuse is blowing. Don’t increase the fuse size unless you want to maybe see some sparks
Bro I’m sorry but you didn’t “fix” the wires last time you just tapped over it. You have a short to power. You need to individually fix the wires inside the wheel well. So take that section of wire apart and fix it properly. And make sure to shrink wrap your repaired area because of the moister you pick up
Had the same issue with my s13, was going crazy looking for the issue I did the harness tuck checked everything and it still kept popping the fuse. Turns out it ended up being a bad ground wire behind the radio the previous owner installed. It would show up as a ground but when the ignition was forwarded it would throw 12volts I say try it man it might be that
Broly get one of those cheap light power tester that light up when you have power to see if the lights are getting power in the back once you do that you will know if its a power issue but right now sounds like a short
Bro... you taping all those wires the way you did is not fixing the issue.. they can still be bare touching each other under all that tape. You need a new harness or to individually wrap those wires.. do it right bro.
Dude ur car is gonna go up in flames i think like all the other people commenting I am a qualified tech U need to sort that wiring out No wonder u havent got any lights Eith all those exposed wires touching

When a person gets coilovers, don't get a front lip. Get an air suspension or coilovers that have cups that work with air to raise the vehicle.
“The worst problem for all 240sx” i thought the worst problem is owning a 240sx lol
that's why you take off the bumper to fit a jack under your whip. I have to do it to mine every time I work on my car

Yuuuupppp can't believe problem not solved yet... maybe like he said... he busy
@@blitzeazy naw he just an eediot lol
Hey Sonny, where is the s15 ? Randy already got his r34 ...
I'd definitely recommend getting wheel chucks. That think piece of wood and also with your car being on an incline is just asking for trouble.
From the other video where you taped up the harness I noticed you didn't cover the wires properly... Any section that has the copper visible needs to be taped up separately so that it has no contact with other wires
please take apart the wire loom and fix all the fuxked shorted wires
definitely not a jacking point on the s13, would recommend jacking from side or at the tow hook end from the front so you dont bend your frame
The multimeter has to be calibrated you pit the red and black lead together until it hits zero then you can test the circuit
Yo the second you said your headlights werent working i knew exactly where you were goin with this XD

Check the ground wire,check the harness to the fuse box ,main fuse to the engine bay, the trace back to headlights
YESSSIRRR always excited for the new vlogs Sonny 🙏🙏🔥
im here since the illiminate got 100k subs! so proud of u guys
Broooo u r dope af I love your energy keep doing what you doin man!! May god bless u
that must be a pretty safe suburb for you to just park your toys outside comfortably
fix wiring 1 by 1 once done replace all fuses
Check your relays bro. You also should check the grounds cause you have a short some where or your relay is stuck open and getting hot wired straight from the battery
Going thru this same exact problem thats crazyy
Hey Sonny, take the electrical tape off and wrap the wires individually! They're exposed and touching each other.
And never up the fuse! If the fuse didn't pop, the wire would catch on fire and probably the car too.
Stay safe, love the video and motivational words! ❤
You need to pull and fix all wires Spratt all of them and tape one by one or extend them tuck them away only way to fix I had those problems
All the wires are exposed. You need to check for any breaks in wires. The wrap each wire separately so they aren't touching and shorting out.
You put tape in the wiring harness. Doesnt mean its fixed. Abviously you have a lot of stripped wires that needs replacing or tape them individually at least
Replace wire that are cut and smear bare metal touch together blown fuse replaced new wire
Hope you get it fixed man she the baby
Sonny! You need to patch up the wires and fix the short first, no amount of tucking will help with damaged wires. Isolate the individual wires and either replace the exposed wires one by one or if they are still intact; wrap with electrical tape or just get a new harness lol
Still contact under Tape check it out try to Tape each wire up.
The end was very motivational, thank u for sharing!
bot
You really need to unwrap that harness and tape/heatshrink every wire separatly.
Dang man you put the jack stand in the floor of the car instead of the body's frame
Love the vlog bro but I saw the blog where you kinda black tapped it . Should have fixed that harness a little bit more tighter and away cuhz .
Just glad you ditched the white and blue golf and gave up on being on the blacklist. 240 fits you better
There might be 2 wires tuccin together that causes the short
get the autostorm collect harness proctector for the firewall
i mean my car is a monster truck. just pull the harness throught the firewall. there is plenty of room to stuff the harness back there all lazy. just extend wires for lights, use decent wire.
FINALLY I missed you SONNY!!!!
You have a grounded wire check any bulbs if its wet or not have a nice day❤️
Maybe wire touching metal causing to pop that fuse
Love the vlogss man all the way from the Nederlands 🇳🇱
Fuse pop means a wire is touching ground or another wire
Take the led headlight bulbs out and put the stock bulbs back in. Maybe you a polarity reversed and it can pop a fuse.
Take the whole wire harness and run it in the engine bay.
Love your vids
I love the content sonny!!!💯💯I hope you reach your dreams and get the car lights started!!💯
Its the same with skylines if anyone wanted to know
keep grinding brodie! respect the hustle and much love
Share a video on what you're investing in.
He’s using the ohms meter wrong setting lol 😂
I knew he was gonna have this issue from the last video he posted trying to "fix" it. just putting tape over exposed wires isnt going to fix it. all the bare wires are still making contact with one another, if anything taping them together like that made it worse since now youre holding all the wires together. you need to go through every single stripped wire in that loom and tape it individually and then when each wire is seperated from the next is when u tape them all together to close the loom. that is a fire waiting to happen hes fortunate that fuse box is still doing its job
Bro fix that exposed harness and your problem is solved! That’s why the fuse is blowing. Don’t increase the fuse size unless you want to maybe see some sparks
It could be a background
take off all the tape you put and check the wires , have to be some exposed and touching , putting a higher # fuse is just going to make it worse.
Time to get a new wire harness
You should swap that Sr into the rsx and get rid of the 240, nothing but problems for the last year with it.
I feel frustrated for you Sonny!! Thanks for the video
Sonny the 240 is looking so 🔥 tight and clean try approaching the drive at a 45 degree angle
Bro I’m sorry but you didn’t “fix” the wires last time you just tapped over it. You have a short to power. You need to individually fix the wires inside the wheel well. So take that section of wire apart and fix it properly. And make sure to shrink wrap your repaired area because of the moister you pick up
Had the same issue with my s13, was going crazy looking for the issue I did the harness tuck checked everything and it still kept popping the fuse. Turns out it ended up being a bad ground wire behind the radio the previous owner installed.
It would show up as a ground but when the ignition was forwarded it would throw 12volts
I say try it man it might be that
Am I tripping or did I see you not use the car jacking points when you used the jack stands....that's damage to the floor
Broly get one of those cheap light power tester that light up when you have power to see if the lights are getting power in the back once you do that you will know if its a power issue but right now sounds like a short
Jack stands go on the frame rails not the pinch welds😂
Wrong. Do you have a 240? The frame rails will collapse many people have had that happen
check you front and rear side marker bulbs/sockets. Had the same issue on my 240 one of my side markers had hella water.
Hey bro can you give us an update on the s15
Rear cant "slip" on driveway if the hand brake is up. Or in gear.
Its been a while miss you bro ❤💯
Feels good seeing some vids
Where’s the s15 man
Its great to see you bro. Missed ur videos. Keep up with research with stocks u can do it.
🙏🙏🙏
Been missing your vlogs
I thought you bought a s 15 in japan? What happened with that
Sonny noooo! the pinchwelds
upgrade to led lights for everything, it would improve everything
Hey Sonny where did you get your 240 from
Son…. Did you just tape the harness? You got to tape every invidual wire so they cant shorten each other out
Bro... you taping all those wires the way you did is not fixing the issue.. they can still be bare touching each other under all that tape. You need a new harness or to individually wrap those wires.. do it right bro.
why you don't bag it and raise it up ?
Anything s chassis is a win ✌️🇨🇦🔧🏁🚗💨
unpopular opinion...just sell it 🤷♂️ gotta know when to move on . hope your investments pay off.
Invest in some real wheel chucks the tire can still roll over the wood blocks.
Keep Grinding 💯💲💸
Are you sure about that? Mine is still on jackstands for some years now lol
hahah I feel it
When u gonna put the kit for the 240 that randy gave u
We need more drifting lil homie
Any tire shop recommendations in the SJ area
Hey Sonny I really like the lifestyle hoodie can I get a discount on it?
Dude ur car is gonna go up in flames i think like all the other people commenting
I am a qualified tech
U need to sort that wiring out
No wonder u havent got any lights
Eith all those exposed wires touching
