Electrical Issues!!!

Hello org just bought my 95 max in Jan and since I had it I noticed several little annoying electrical issues. Pwr windows, Drs, and radio all have some technical issues. The only window that works properly is the sun roof. The driver window works mostly but at times it decides to stutter as if it wants to die. All other windows does not work. As far as the door locks go, the front 2 locks and unlocks and the rear two switches turns on when they want to unlock and lock if they even work. With the radio aside from the dimming in and out and display not working properly, it refuses to take cd's and when it did it wouldn't play it.
Any suggestions or has anyone else came across similar issues but didn't post a thread on any of the 10 pg's for some reason? I need a solutions to my problem w/o going to nissan.

working on bpu's: have oovi -3 frt inj clips(not installed), new knock sensor(not installed waiting on oovi), ram intake, tokico blues on d2's, exedy clutch, harlen rpm switch(not installed waiting on oovi), and y pipe and header set from CustomMaxima (still waiting on them to ship, paid Feb 25 and awaiting delivery to my door)(they have "back order" so I was told more will be made and shipped this Friday Mar. 26, 2010) I have faith in them............for now

When power window lock switch is locked, no windows can be raised or lowered except for driver side window.

get a new bose head unit. common problem for them to fade in and out for the 95 96 models...sounds like your BCM may also be going bad if your door locks aren't working right....and you may need either a new regulator for the windows or a new motor...

not info was provided to properly diagnose everything though you just gave us an overview...Go into detail and we'll see if we can help

on what pirate said bose radio tends to go bad first.

that was one of the first things i tried to do was to make sure the ock switch was unlocked. i will try again later tonight but maybe the switch is just jacked up.

thanks for the help guys much appreciated.

as far as the window situation. when i sit in every seat and press each button to roll down the windows nothing happens at all. no sound no anything. i tried the lock switch and still nothing. as for the driver window, it as of right now does not want to roll down. sounds like the motor is struggling to move it. i think its going out but other times it workes perfectly. i dunno this car is funny acting sometimes.

I doubt you have three bad motors maybe one. The drivers side window maybe getting hanging up on something. A faulty or not properly connected BCM could cause this type of problems.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Motors generally go out in pairs. When I get a few dollars to spare I will try switching motors and see if that works.

Noticed something new. Think starter is going bad. Takes too long to crank and if it doesn't crank on the 1st try the driver window doesn't wanna work properly. This is when it struggles to roll up or down. Battery is new FYI.

More than likely the window motors are dead. U in a hot climate and windows may have been up and down all the time

Im going to look into this before I do the window motor route. Hopefully this is the issue. Thanks again guys for help and some things this could be. But yeah will be trying this out before the temp hit 80+ consistently. I atleast want the Passenger window to work.
