On my last car, I drove with my headlights on during the day and when I turn off the engine, the headlights turn off also. On the Maxima it stays on and there is no warning to let me know that it's on (at least not for mine). Well today I forgot to turn them off and a few hours go by and the battery died on me. Is there a way to make them automatically turn off or install a small buzzer horn like most cars to let me know that theyre on?

 

there should be a little chime that goes off when the lights are on and the door is open and the key isn't in the ignition.

 

Is there a chime for when you open the door and your keys are left in the off position in the ignition? If not, there should be some fuses I guess, not quite sure.

 

Smbdy has disconnected u chime?

My lights are always on as engine is running - off while starter runs.

1. Install one relay to feed batt voltage to the lights when alt is charging.

or

2. Install one relay to feed batt voltage to the lights when ign is ON. Install another relay to cut batt voltage from the lights when started (saves lamps etc).

Check LINKS on my web page to see where to connect...

 

Nope, there is no chime or anything when key is on and door is open. Ill check the fuse box later this afternoon.

Walt, what number link? Since you're in the thread, I have a question about suspension. When making right turns (5mph or 50mph), there is a click on the front driver side. I was told that it could be a strut mount but havent gotten it checked out. Is there any tests I can do with the front end jacked up to see what is making the click sound?

 

i have the same problem with my 92 SE.... the chimes only come on when i turn the key the start.... i have left my lights on a few times and its annoying soo some one please tell me how to fix the chimes

 

does the click only happen when your turning the wheel or is it there all the way through the turn

if it clickly only while turning thw wheel it could be a strut bushing/bearing

if its there all the way through the turn even when your not turning the wheel its probobly your cv joint/axle

 

...like subs1000w says.

I've come to conclusion that Nissans are not noiseless. Have driven these 100k with the noises. [not bad CV joints or no free play anywhere]

I meant the LINKS on my cardomain page: find a FSM schema

I was going to suggest the cv joint....both of mine were bad and they clicked throughout the entirety of the turn(s)...cost somewheres around $175.00ea for a garage to fix em for me...ouch

 

It only clicks once during the turn. It also happens when I drive onto driveways at an angle (where it hits the first bump).

 

Just a wildest guess: are the strut mount nuts tight enough? What about the strut rod nut? I remember you talking about that nasty click a while ago, right?
