ive noticed that my 2000 maxima has some type of blue rope hanging from the bottom and also notice it on almost all the maximas i see on the road anyone know what this is.

 

DO NOT PULL ON THAT!!!!

Like a sweater, the underside of the car might start unravelling!!!

 

Tampon.

 

where underneath??

 

It's part of the MAXipad... get it? MAXipad!



ahhh, man. I kill myself.

 

It's like the tag on the matresses... Don't pull it off otherwise you'll goto jail

 

funny **** lol

 

 

 

That's the cord you pull back all the way to wind up the spring. Then let go and watch your Maxima zoom off.

Definately adds HP to the car.

 

PULL IT!! PULL IT!!

 

so thats why i have less horsepower!!!! i didnt get that feature. o no i forgot, i have an 2000. that is my problem

 

actually, if you pull it, your maxima will talk just like a doll!..

 

yup, mine's on the rag too

 

it's the catch line for landing on aircraft carriers

 

poor reggie...all he wants is a straight answer...

 

Found this on my 2K last year. Got under there and took it off. Was a braided ground wire from the catalytic heat shield to the undercarriage (it got fried by the exhaust heat). Took the remains to the dealer to find out if it was important, but their only response was "you should get that fixed". Couldn't tell me what it was for and even though I was there didn't offer to set up a service appointment, so I left.

 

That would be called a tail hook.

 

Speak and spell Max

 

OK, since I have not been under there enough to know the exhaust system that well, can anyone tell me if the system is isolated/insulated enough from the rest of the car to cause a static electricity issue? If so, yes, the ground strap is important.
