1982 Diesel Maxima Station Wagon

Horn Not Working - Not Fuse, Not Horns ( plugged in ) - where else to look ?

Wipers not working - Not Fuse - Have replacement ( SY part ) multifunction switch - any suggestions ?

Front Turn Signals - not fuse, not connections at the front - where / how to trace inside the factory wrapped wiring bundle ?

Lighter not working ( works on rare occasions ) - where to look for the thing that turns it on while the car is running ? is it a relay going bad ?

Take a look at the fuse blade connections, sometimes they get loose and require taking the connector out and reforming it. Its usually a result of using fuse taps.

Also, how do you know if power is not getting to the cigarette lighter? If you are just using the lighter the ground could be shaky on the lighter itself if its used too much.

Did all of these things stop working at one time? Check the connectors (fuse wire) at the positive battery cable. There are two. Can be the upper or lower connection.
