As long as I have owned my J30, headlight vipers have worked like a pair of vipers... individually, stop where ever. One up, one down or whatever, like windows.

Someday will take a look whatsin there. Possibly factory installation problem, maybe home pos wire not installed.

But is there a home position switch in each? Suggestions?

 

headlight wipers?

 

Yes. Would like to have the two vipers behave like a educated pair of wipers: in concert with windshield wipers [as selected] and then [both] return to 'home position'. Currently they are ugly as they point wherever they want... and besides a blade in front of a lamp reduces light on the road.

Windows one must live with. But this?

 

they point whereever they want most likely because they aren't factory installed.
I don't recall them being an option on our cars.
so you may just be up the proverbial $hit'$ creak

 

Most probable as Scandinavia has sold only few hundred Maximas per year in the 90's.

My question was: do these have home pos sw installed inside? (=correct wirings --> get civilized look). I can build the switches outside the motor [under the bumper], but thats laborous & not very elegant way.

Anyway its good to have info before hands get dirty. Hopefully someone has this info; the components used must have sold millions.

 

UK models have the headlight wipers...not sure if aussies have it too.

 

ehh... gotta love translators.

most likely your best bet would be to take it to a dealer. the headlights wipers didn't come on u.s. models and most of the members here are in the u.s. so wouldn't know much about it. dealership or a mechanic would be your best bet.

 

Deal er ship ... no titanic deal! I am able to ruin my car myself, get all the fun and it comes real cheap.

But if good schematics were somewhere... The chilton/haynes so called 'manual' is a car toon...

Eventually I end opening the pair myself, but info would be nice to know why the smoke escaped... I heard some have the wipers in US also. If 1% of US MAximas has them, its still more than in here )

 

might try this site http://www.bignissans.org.uk/ it seems at the moment its down but i know they have a lot of good info on there. not sure if they cover the headlight wipers but they might.

 

I suppose ? that page is now: http://www.newshampark.org.uk/bignissansold/j30/

Some worthwhile stuff.

Not much help in this nuance, at least did not find any. Once upon a time I tried to get e-mail answer, maybe I am not worthy to be included in the Royal Maximum recipient list...

Btw. How to obtain original Nissan service Manual? At least would get wiring diagrams. How much would that cost...
