Homelink work for rolling code garages?
My garage door opener recently got replaced and this new one has a "rolling code". I've tried programming my Homelink accordingly but it doesn't seem to work. I'm wondering if it is compatible in the first place with this style of door openers. My Max is a 97 SE.

The shaking lasts for a few minutes and then goes away and usually starts shaking slowly after I start the car.
Its not the alignment for when the car is shaking I can let go of the steering wheel and the car still goes straight. I dont think its my transmission for when the car is shaking I can still accelerate as normal. What i did notice is that when the car is shaking, I try to hit the brakes and its as if all i have to do is tap on the brake pedal to slow the car down whereas when the car is not shaking I would have to depress the brake pedal somewhat.
If anybody has any ideas on what the problem might be please do respond.
Thanks.

If it only does it while moving, then check your brakes. Probably a warped rotor, rusted caliper slide pin, or faulty caliper piston.

I don't recall the exact sequence, but instead of programming it with an opener remote, you program it with the opener itself. Look in your owners manual and call Homelink's 800 number and they'll walk you thru it.

Yeah, but sometimes I'll be driving and try to do it and it gets annoying. I mean, I don't think the car is supposed to do that. Does anybody know whats going on?

I don't have the problem if I roll only 2 windows up or down at the same time, but if I try to do everything at once, it seems to overload everything. It gets kinda annoying...I live in Florida and must open all the windows/sunroof every time I get in the car to get the heat out!
Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Oxygen Sensor
I just installed an oxygen sensor but didnt bother with clipping the wire holders in. Should i go back and snap them in or will it be ok?

Hey folks, New owner of a 96 maxima here w198k miles in need of some maintance and since im no mechanic, i ran into a problem on the rear driver side caliper piston refusing to retract inside the caliper using c-clamp to install the new brake pads.
I also noticed the rubber seal is torn and the piston shows signs of rust build up on the cylinder, will it be possible to rebuild the caliper or do i have to replace the entire caliper?
Only refference i've had so far is the Hayes service manual and memory of some eps i watch on powerblock shows on spike TV .
Any links/info would be greatly appreciated.

Oh my, no wonder i count push it in after a certain point, will i have to buy a new tool to screw it in? i havent touched the passanger side, only serviced the front axles so far.
#855
Cool, Local shops r closed at this hour, will have to resume tomorrow ^^
Since the rubber boot of the piston is torn will the piston need to be replaced aswell or will it depend on how funtional i will find the caliper?
I found a caliper kit that includes the seals and piston for 5 bux at advanced auto parts but its mail in only.

Went to the shop today for the part, tried to turn it with the wrench and no cigars. Guess its seiged since it only managed to move when i started using the impact wrench.
Further instection i found another problem, the guide pin that resides on the caliper braket is stuck aswell.
Is the braket/pin salvagable or will i have to replace those aswell?
I lubed the pin with 3in1 oil to see if i can get this thing loose but its hard on that i can barely nudge it with clamp pliers.
Edit: typos

Front Speakers
I just have a real simple question to ask pertaining to replacing my front speakers. I have a 96 GXE non Bose, and was wondering how i go about changing the front door speakers. Do the speaker covers pop off or do I have to remove the door panel? If I have to take the panels off, are there any instructions wandering around that would guide me through the process? Thanks in advance for any help you give, and please forgive me for my "newbness" in regards to this audio question.
#862
I apologize for wasting peoples time, I managed to find instructions. Regardless, thanks for the quick response.

help, solenoids explanation
so my engine light has been on, 4 codes. one is a transmission code. i took the car to the dealer so they can run the tests. they had to drop the transmission pan to see what the problem was for the code P1760. they told me i had to have the solenoids replaced. i don't know much about all this except that they deal with shifting right? the dealer wasn't much help. i've had this code for months & my car has never given me any problems. til i was driving my car home from the dealer. the car/transmission was jerking terribly. i had to pull over twice. ended up putting the car in 2nd & driving home with the flashers on. called the dealer back & told them what happened. all they said was it's the solenoids acting up that need replaced. am i being fed BS? can someone please explain this a little better to me?
thank you in advance.
(i ended up having the car towed to a transmission shop, haven't heard anything yet)
thank you in advance.

what are the other codes? Sounds like your solenoids are messed up. The idea is that the solenoids go on and off to shift the tranny. Don't remeber what the combos are at this exact time but if one is working it will mess up the tranny gears. Probably the problem but telling the other codes could help diagnose.

the other codes P0440 (replace vent valve & canister) i heard there was a 'recall' on this but for whatever reason my vin doesn't fall under that.
P0400 (clean out the egr tube & components, replace gasket)
there was knock sensor code but i was told to ignore since it could've come on from one of the codes above.
all this & the inspection is up at the end of the month.
when it rains it pours.
i currently have about 94k miles on the car. i'm hoping it's gonna go for a long time now. i hate to see go down hill from here.

Im not sure if this question has been asked in this thread yet but Im not going to read through all 29 pages.
Is it possible to add the auto sportshift to 98 maxima. If so would it be costeffective I like auto but sometimes I want to shift I have never seen it done so it might not be worth it but I would like to know if it is possible
Thanks

Do a google search on VA maximas. Not hard.

transmission problems
A night before i dissconected a fuse called A/T Cont because i need these fuse for the T.lights. On the morning i drive my maxima and i notice that the Overdrive button did not work, and i cant acelerate over 2K, the car loose power.
The car throw me codes:
0304 Knock Sensor
0504 Automatic Transmission Communications line
0804 Transmission Control Module
I had a problems before with the battery, i think probably i have a short circuit, because the battery gets drain on the nigth.
Any idea please?

My max's having click noise from rear left wheel, and when I jack the car up and try to spin the wheel by hand, I can feel friction, not spin freely. Does this mean the brake rotor is warped? Thank you.

That's good cause that's the one i am working on, just don't know how to get any leverage with that bolt? also, seems like my ratchet is having a hard time fitting in that small space? any ideas? cause on the other one i got leverage with a breaker bar + a small pipe.

Try to twist the wheel (pull on the top of the wheel and push on the bottom). Do it in several directions. If there is any play then the wheel bearing is shot.
Or just take it to a mechanic for diagnosis.
