how to replace vent valve & cansiter
i tried a couple of searches & checked the stickies. sorry if it was there & i missed it. code P0440 is showing up & i was told by the dealer that i need to replace the vent valve & canister. well i'm trying to avoid having to go back to the dealership so i was wondering if this is simple enough to do on my own? i'm trying to find a "how to" on it but i'm not having any luck. & do i have to get these parts through the dealer?
thanks for any help.

1999 Maxima
I wanted to ask about the location of the fuses for a 1999 Nissan Maxima. I found the fuse box under the hood on the driver's side. Is there another fuse box on the passenger side? According to my owner's manual, there is, but I can't find it.
My rear lights are not working at all, when I turn my lights on, but my brake lights work fine. Does this sound like a blown fuse?
Thank you.

That was about a month ago. I'm not sure if that's when all my tail lights stopped working or not. I just noticed the tail light problem. None of my tail lights come on at all when I turn on my headlights. But my brake lights work when I step on the brake pedal.

carbon fiber trunk
ok so i get that i have to get a new trunk if i want the 97 tail-lights, at the moment i have a spoiler(which i like,but am willing to part with) on my trunk and the bass from the sub poped off the stock clips(on the outside) for the spoiler and it doesnt sound good, does anybody know where i can get a carbon fiber trunk for a 97 that would fit on my 1996? also I'm looking into getting a catback exhaust thats not rediculously loud but sounds aggresive and performs the best, any sugestions?

Is a small oil leak coming from the timing cover a common problem with the A32?
I was told it was a 16 hour job to reseal the timing cover, is that a reasonable amount of time? Is there an easier way to fix this type of leak?

Few questions
I tried to search this but couldn't find it for the love of God.
Which UDP is the best??? Any probles after installing (stalling, etc.)
Does a B pipe adds any more horses after adding a y pipe?
Thanks guys....

OD LIGHT blinking
so i checked the stickies to see why my OD light is blinking & it seems to be the Overrun Solenoid Circuit is shorted or disconnected.
well i had pretty much the same code come up with the engine light. and i just had the transmission rebuilt because the solenoids were bad due to the torque converter. my question is why is my OD light still blinking & saying there is a problem if it was supposedly fixed? any idea??
thanks

Exaust hanger ?
I hit a big hunk of ice during the Valentine's Day storm that closed N.E. Pa down last month. It broke the hanger on the exaust system that holds supports the front of the cat. Can a shop repair this or will I have to get a new hanger from a dealer. Who have you folks found to have the best prices if I need to buy a new one? Thanks.
#981
is it the actual metal mount u broke or the rubber connector ?
if its the rubber connector then go to dealer and spend a few bucks im sure its cheap, if its the mount itself tho then go to a shop and get a piece of metal welded on there and be happy

Exaust hanger ?
The metal is broken. It lookslike the rubber brackets are good but the metal part is just hanging on both sides of the cat.

ok sorry i have more questions, i acutally have like 20 questions to do with my car but I don't wanna flood with questions
ok I bought new head lights for my car, installed them easy, but then I decided to buy other headlights for the smaller head lights, but I can't get them in because I can't even take out the old one or even get into it to take them out. Is there an easy way to do this?
I'd search for this but it won't let me

another question, I searched the owners manual for it but couldn't find an answer..
my steering fluid is blow the line that says (HOT) and it also says (COOL) on the same level. I've never seen it up to that line, does that mean I should add more steering fluid? In the winter some days, steering was a little bit tough when I first started, but went away in like 30 seconds.
ok sorry this was in the wrong section, I just found out there is a maintence section for questions like this.
What is the cold line is on the same line as the hot?? do you still fill up to that line??

Are you talking about the parking lights next to the headlights or the foglights below the bumper?
The parking lights are fairly easy. There's one screw on top and then there's a little ball socket thing holding it in back. It can be hard to get it off the first time. An easy way is to use a flat head screwdriver to pry it out. You'll need to pull on the lense as far out as you can and the look down the back of it. You should see where it's being held on. Just slide the screwdriver in and give it a twist to pop it out.
Not sure on the fog light procedure as I don't have the stock ones.

Has anyone had a low brake peddle? Pads are good, calipers are good & brakes have been bled completely starting from the furthest to the closest so that there's new fluid throughout. It's been awhile that the peddle is low, I had a sticky front caliper, changed it, new pads & discs up front, bled brakes as stated, no change. Seized caliper in rear & the hand brake not working properly, changed it & hand brake is good now, still no change. Wondering if it's the master or what? This is on my wife's '98 SE with 252K km's, my '98 GLE with 202k km's is fine.
Thanks

Gotta question (hopefully someone can answer).... Friday I tried starting my car and realized the battery was dead (so I thought). I used my blazer to jump it, took the jumper cables off and was gonna let it run for a few minutes. About 30 seconds after running it died. SO I jumped it again, this time leaving the cables on. I sat in my car and realized NOTHING in my car was working (power windows, locks, sunroof, radio, headlights,etc.). Again, the car was running and nothing would turn on. I then pulled the jumper cables off and my car stayed running for about 30 seconds again and slowley died. The battery is about 2 months old (NEW) and had the alternator checked and is 'fine'. Computer fried???

I have a question and it may have been asked already, but I'm looking to buy a 4th Gen Max and I'm wondering what are some things specific to this Make/Model and Generation that I should look at when I'm looking around.
Thanks

Please refer to the 4th Gen Maxima FAQs Sticky at the top of the forum.
It has info in trim level differences and all the TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) issued by Nissan in the past 11 years.
If you're considering a specific year and trim level then post back and someone could probably give you a list.
