question.
I am thinking about getting some subtle lights to mount under the front dash to illuminate the floorboards on each side. I went and looked tonight, and noticed that nearly all came designed to use with the cig-lighter power slot. I however, don't want to plug it in there. I'd ideally like to hardwire it in behind the cig lighter.
Is doing this as easy as chopping the cig adapter off, stripping those wires, and then tapping them into the right cig wires behind the actual plug? anyone know which color goes with which color?
any help would rock.

Few questions:
On my airbox snorkel, there's a hole in the right side. Is that normal and should it be plugged?
On startup, an ABS light shows (along with all the other lights). Does that mean the car came with ABS? I've driven on ice and hit the brakes and it doesn't feel as though it works.
I'm getting a squeak every time I put in the clutch. The last few inches of travel kinda rattle. It's apparent inside the car and much more apparent when outside. It's coming from inside of the bell housing, and I believe it's the ball and socket that holds the fork thing in the clutch. I tried lubing everything up with WD40 with no luck, and I fear I'll have to take the car in to get this fixed. It'll cost an arm and a leg so while it's open I was thinking about replacing the clutch and throughout bearing. What will this cost, ballpark?
Another problem, my right front tire keeps deflating to 29psi. I pump it up and it returns to 29 every time. Looks a little low when you look at it. Any idea what this is? Bad sealing or some type of puncture (nail)?
And finally, there's a rattle in my dash that bothers the crap out of me. It seems to mostly go away when I put pressure on the hazard light. Any idea what this is and how to fix it?

Common sense would allow those who posess it to inspect the tire to see if there is a nail Depending on how many miles, I would say, replace the clutch anyway.

Does anyone else have an oil burning problem? Around 2800-3000 miles i start to hear a rattle under the hood which is the variable timing change. Quick fix is to add a dash of oil but Im looking for a longer term fix.
my 2k max wont start. the eng cont 2 fuse by the batt blows on contact, but if i power the eng cont relay directly from the batt w/ 15a fuse, it runs perfectly. my ses light isnt on when its running. i recently changed my starter and also my front electronic engine mount started to make sound constantly. any help to a solution needed. what could it be?

Just check the oil every 1000 miles. Cheapest and easiest solution. Nissan won't even considering doing anything under warranty unless you are going through a quart in less than 1000 miles. They even have their disclaimer in the owner's manual.... "it is normal to add some oil in between oil changes" or words to that effect.
Also, anyone with an answer to my swirl control valve issue?
where is the neutral switch sensor located at on a manual max? i have a SES on and its saying my park/neutral sensor is bad, i have a friend on the forum that is a nissan tech and says its on the transmission itself, BUT autozone claims its located right at the pedals, i need help locating it to make sure i'm replacing the right part, thanks in advance guys!
i think i know what he meant...the clutch must be pushed in to start car...THAT switch is on the clutch pedal
i dunno which switch would be it, the code is the neutral/park switch, and the guy that is a nissan tech had a reader and it was showing the switch saying "yes/no" frantically the entire time my car was cranked

2001 Anniversary Edition - Major Problems
Long story short, my friend has a 2001 20th Anniversary Edition with 130k miles. The codes P0420 "Catalyst efficiency low-bank 1" and P0505 "The PCM has determined that a malfunction exists in the idle control system" are being thrown. He basically wants to donate the car because the front tires are losing air, his lugnut covers on the rims were stolen, and he needs an alignment (car pulls to the right most of the time).
I could get this car basically for free, and cosmetically it looks good from 10 ft. Think it is worth it to fix it up and drive or should I just sell it for a grand or two on CraigsList? I know that replacing the oxygen sensors (what I am assuming are the P0420) and the Idle Air Control Valve (P0505) are expensive repairs. Would you take it to a dealership or try and do some of the work yourself? I have hand tools and access to an Autozone to rent any proprietary tools.

2k max a/c light question
I just replaced the bose radio with a aftermarket, and the a/c contols light stopped working. I was wondering if I did not connect something right. It is a manual a/c control not electronic climate controls. I have to turn on my interior light at night to see what button I am pushing. I can bang on the thing sometimes and half of the lights will come on. Do I need to replace the light bulbs or is this a commom problem?

HELP!!
Hi,
I have been a member here for several years & use your site which is excellent for all my Nissan Maxima questions. I have yet to post any replies which does not enable me to post my question. I hope that you can help me as you all have in the past. I did search my question, before asking and am a bit confused?? I just had the bearings in my transmission replaced, they also replaced the two oxegen sensors near the front (before the main cat) (cali spec) as I was recieving p0138. I then brought car to nissan for the TSB & reflash for o2 sensors. 25 miles latter, I recieved code 0420. Brought back to nissan they said it was the front cat conv. I replaced at Midas ( I supplied the Part) and car is still not idleing correctly and fear that light will come back on. As I know that this is a Cali Cat, did I replace the correct Cat?? Car seems to have all the power, but the idle is rough. I have checked for vaccum leaks, MAF leaks, Exhaust Leaks, etc. Looking for ideas, that may help!! Thanks as always, RC

Almost certain it will work if the mounts are the same. I have an 03 autodim + compass mirror in my 02.
