hey guys...i was browsing ebay tonight and found a part i have never heard of. anyone have a clue? the seller lists it as a Power E-AT switch. Now i know MY 95 doesnt have one and yet he says that it is compatible.

i have no idea what that is.
i've never seen anything like it on my car, and i searched courtesyparts.com and found nothing...
weird.

 

me neither, probably that seller doesnt even know wut the hell he is selling

 

doesnt look like any switches ive seen on a maxima

 

hey, i was doing some more searing....on a site for the mercury villager and nissan quest, i found an article on what the switch is used for.

Question: There is this switch that is labeled E-AT. What does this switch do?

Answer: In short, it is the Power/Economy switch for the automatic transmission. For the slightly longer version this power/economy switch is similar to the sport/economy switch that can be found on other cars. The normal or default mode is the economy mode. Pressing the switch will activate the power mode, which changes the shift points by causing the transmission to shift later for an up-shift and sooner for a down shift, thus allowing the engine to rev a bit higher than it would normally in the economy mode. This power mode is useful when towing and when climbing a steep grade. Using the power mode under these conditions is most helpful in preventing the transmission from hunting or using a gear that is too high for the situation.

my bro had a similar switch on his grand prix, but ive never heard of it on a maxima.

 

3rd gens had it, IIRC. With the shape, there's no place it could be located OEM short of where the car phone module was supposed to go, and even then the text would be sideways.

 

my 88 camry had it, lol
2.0 ltr power baby!
