1988 nissan 300zx electrical problems?

Are going to have to look at your electrical schematic, something tells me there is a body control module there that might be on the fritz~....give me some time to come up with your schematic, hopefully there are not too many variations~

It is located on the back side of the underdash fuse box (junction block). You remove the lower steering column cover and knee blocker reinforcement. Then remove two plugs from the bottom of the bcm. Remove the bolts holding the junction block to dash panel mounting bracket. Remove the junction block from the bracket. Remove screws holding the bcm to the jb. Slide the bcm downward to disengage guide studs on jb from channels on bcm mounting bracket Remove bcm from jb.

And this should fix the tripometer problem?

not even sure what the responsibilities of the BCM are, not even sure it's at fault but our best sources tell us that it is~ it's interior control, so yeah, will fix the problem~

from wiki:t means Body Control Module. Its the computer that control alot of things in the car. When the BCM goes bad lil things act quirky. doors not unlocking. lights come on for no reason. car chimes and wont stop, rear hatch unlocks for no reason usually if you disconnect the bottery for a bit it resets it and cures some of the faults

could they BE any less specific?

they simply will not disclose the schematic. it is NOT public domain. The owner's manual tells you how to read a schematic, but doesn't make with the schematic...I too am interested if following the leads has placed us into the right zone but that post there says if you disconnect the "bottery" whatever that is "cures some of the faults"~
