Rear right light replacement. Possible recall of issue?

DarraghR · 21-04-2015 10:55am #1

I have a Nissan Primera 2004 hatchback and am experiencing a loss of power to my engine when indicating right. This is due to a know problem with this model.

Its seems the wiring on the circuit board can melt or become damaged over time.

I have found a full head lamp in a scrap yard for €50 which is quite good but could there be a recall for this issue through a official Nissan dealer? Where might I find out online?

I suppose ringing a dealer with the VIN could work. I don't know if that info is available online for Ireland.

I did it on both left and right tail lights. Also used solder where wire is wrapped around earth in light cluster, to make good contact. I found plastic around earth pin loose on the yellow socket in picture.

Ring a main dealer and ask.
The problem is the car is 11 years old, they probably wont want to know

Tried cleaning the circuit board but that didnt help. I did notice the wiring from the car to light was slightly uncovered. Thinking about changing it out for a fresh one. How would i go about removing the sealant and putting it back on. Have provided a few pictures below. Maybe someone will notice something I didnt
