Need Anser ASAP....The the wiper fluid WARNING LIGHT Standard on the SE???
I bought the car last year May '01 & I had it on car until 6 months ago it wouldn't shut off? I took it into Nissan & warning light was off & they claimed they fixed it. One month later light didn't turn on when I was low on fluid & just took it in today to fix & they called me saying 'my car isn't equipped w/ sensor for that' I told him it better b/c i had it when i bought it & they better look at their work order 6 months ago when they fixed it b/c it wouldn't shut off.
He said that per his technican it only came on the 'cold winter package maxima's not all SE have them' IS THIS TRUE? If not, please tell me? I tried looking at edmunds.com & kbb.com but they dont give specs on standard stuff on '01 maxima's!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
P.S. I also took my car in there for brake pulsation w/ $26k miles & they said they resurfaced the rotors & put new brake pads on there. What should I look for to make sure they changed this stuff? Thanks

On page 2-7 of the owners manual it indicates that this warning light 'if so equipped'...
which tells me it IS part of a package of some kind...

WOW....i just typed my vin# @ http://app.consumerguide.com//autoch...start&AID=1102
it states my car is a 2001 Nissan Maxima GLE....but i bought the car new from the dealership as a SE....too weird...maybe thats why I had the warning light on before? So how can I make sure my car is a SE & not a GLE?
p.s. -- someone else who has a SE please check above site & input your vin# & let me know if it tell if you have a SE or GLE??? Thanks

god I hate them too...
from the SE option list
adding Meridian gives:
Front-seat supplemental side-impact air bags
Heated outside mirrors
Low-washer-fluid warning light
Heated front seats
Trunk lid trim
(Requires SE Comfort and Convenience Pkg)
I've called NNA on making crap up on the phone. I'm like 'go get the brochure... I'll wait'

I have a 2k1 SE and the Consumer Guide says it's a GLE. I personally think any Max VIN you input will come up as a GLE... as for the light, I don't have the Meridian package and I don't have the warning light.

thanks....i've been underneath my car & seen a wire down by the windshield fluid resvoir on the bottom there disconnected....you think if i connect it will work? i thought it but worth a try...also nissan rep said that a sensor goes there to make it work...how much does the sensor cost if you can check on any GLE model? thanks Dave

the trunk lid trim is a piece of carpet/plastic that covers the inside of the trunk lid, like what's on the inside of the rest of the trunk. covers up the bare metal. wish i had one...
