Hello All,


I have a question, does anyones Maxima beep when the lights are left on? My brothers 95 Max SE (auto) , beeps when the lights are left on, but my 96 SE (5 Speed) doesnt beep. Did the just have this beep on the 95s, or is there something I would need to change/fix to get the beep again, ofcouse I wouldnt have to worry as much cause I could pop the clutch if my lights every drainned my battery, but naturally it would be better to avoid having to do this all together.

thanks all.

 

mine beeps

 

check under the panel above your knees. there should be 2 screws holding it up. remove those 2 screws and see if the buzzer is plugged in. that's what makes the beeping noise when you forget to do something like turn off your headlights or remove your key.

 

check fuse specifically the lamp tail/park fuse/ and also check security fuse. top right fuse.

 

i have a 97se 5spd,mine beeps and is annoying as hell.

 

i like the beep on my '98, but kinda wish we can change the beep to the chime like the 1st gen. Altimas had and if its compatible w/ our 4th gen, or even the 3rd gen Altima beep

 

we should try to make the beep, turn into some kind of song. like cell phone song.

leave the light on, and mettalica mid version of their songs starts playing.

 

My '96 beeps only when the lights are on and the door is opened.

 

I checked under my brothers 95, and heard the beeping but couldnt tell where it was comming from,

does anyone have a pic or a definate way I can locate the buzzer, I hope my didnt die, but now that I think about it I've never heard it since I've gotten the car (6 months ago), I check all my fuses and there fine and in good shape.

Maybe I need a new buzzer?

 

Do your courtesy lights come on in your door when you open it

 

If you remove the plastic sheild below the steering wheel, the buzzer will be connected to it with a wire connected, if it is connected. It's a little tanish colored box. All you have to do to remove it is unscrew the 3(?) screws holding.

 

yes they do.

 

thanks fopr the detailed description. I'll check it out tommorow after work and see if that thing it working or not.

 

No problem, I can take pics for you tomorrow if you need them.

 

I looked into changing the beep, and there are a few snags:
1. The relay that is connected times in and out, causing the momentary beep. If you add something else (say a song), you will get about .9 seconds of the song before it will start over. This will continually happen.

2. See number one.

I thought it would be cool to have a different beep, and any beep can be retrofitted. Just find the chime you want at a salvage yard (you could maybe even get one from Mercedes or BMW parts). It's twelve volts, momentary on and off.

 

I would greatly appreciate if you could get some photos, thank you very much.

 

Here they are, hope this helps.





I can take a few more for you if you need them.

 

Thank you soo very much, I see what it looks like and where it is. Thanks for th help. Ihope its just unplugged if not, I'll add that to the list when I go to the junk yard.

 

No problem, hope that helps. Any other questions I'll be happy to try to answer them.
