i tried to use thew search function to answer this questionand it said i wasn't authorized so here it goes. I think i blew a fuse because my power mirrors dont work and neither does the climate control. I have taken apart the dask but i am not sure where the fueses are cause i have never done ths before. Are they in the shiny metal compartment beehind the coin holder? come on and help a newb out???

 

it's about in front of your left knee when you sit in the driver seat.
that's the main one..pull off cover and you see fuses..there are others in the engine bay.

 

ok thanks

 

i found the fuses but now i dont know how to check which are blown , do i have to take out the entire component which holds all of the fuses? if so how? could i buy replacements at a local auto shop?

 

Pull the fuse from, the box and see if it's blown... if blown... replace... if not... put back...

 

hey i finally fixed it i didnt realize that there was a little fuse remove tool connected to the box. well i'm one step closer to being a maxima guru.

 

Be ready for a lot of steps then...

 

a circuit test light is easier and faster

 

digital volt meter w/ ohm function is faster and safer

 

But if he had a hard time looking for the fuse box... would he really have that stuff???

 

Yea, you have to crawl before you can walk and it looks like he is still trying to locate the basics. It will be a while before he's to that level.

 

please read your owner's manual, then ask questions here if you're still stumped.

 

 

how come you always are on the look out for newbies asking questions. This is about the tenth time that I have seen you protesting a newbie's post because they could have found the answer somewhere else. Isn't the point of this website to talk about and learn about our cars??

 

Yeah, you're right... it is. But, as soon as you spend more time on here you'll see what it's like. You've gotta answer the same questions over and over and over again...

 

we could talk about our cars all day but what fun would that be without actually getting some hands on first? The moment i got my car, I pored through the manual like i had a final and got the "basic" info that nissan felt i needed to know and started locating stuff inside the car. study your manual and get a service manual as well. you would then see the reason why people tend NOT to be so eager to answer every question that a noob has when it is blatantly obvious that he hasnt lifted a finger.

oh and welcome to the org


just an after thought: i can't recall EVER seeing anyone ask where the fusebox is...
