electric chalenge or dumb problem

Let's see,

I didn't use my max for a few weeks and while I was using the wipers, they stopped at the middle and didn't come back again.

It would be as simple as a fuse, BUT I don't have power windows/locks to work, nor sun roof and maybe nothing in the interior. I haven't driven it cause, COMMON it's 107 in Tucson and cannot roll down my windows please help. Even to go outside and guess the failure it is too hot.

Thanks fellows!

Are you sure it's not a Katrina car? That's quite a lot of problems.. Sounds like you aren't getting power to a lot of systems. Did they all go out at the same time or gradually?

I've heard of that happening with Audis and GM's but never Maximas...I will see if I can come up with any relevant info...FYI, the Audi and GM problems were totally different issues.

I don't know if it is a katrina car, I had owned it for 2 years and didn't have a problem like this.

Check all fuses, and check and make sure the grounds are good. IE they aren't rusted between the wire and chassis.

you probably blew a fusible link.
look under hood at the square looking fuses with a window on top
one them probably blew.

That is a lot of electrical stuff not working at one time. Are you sure someone didn't steal your battery?

Check the fusible links, ground connections, positive connection at the battery, make sure one of the power wires didn't corrode, or break off the terminal there.
