5th Gen "I AM NEW HERE BUT HAVE A QUESTION" thread
My brother brought a test light over, he tested the fuses, they are all good, i turned the key on, and he checked the wires, and no power to them. we havent checked the ignition or control module yet. I can turn the key and the car will crank, but it never turns over, i ran my battery down the first day trying to crank, i did it in 3 or 4 sec increments.

facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal plate (flywheel).
The only thing with that is, it should have thrown a CEL, but maybe not always. Worth a shot.
Ok, so I am finally going S/C'd(deployment has been good, lol) and have bought all the "expensive stuff" for the install. I am needing help on the transmission cooler. I looked at the few threads I found, and it seems that the ones people get are the Hayden 404, and B&M Supercooler bc of its durability. My question is, what are the other parts people use to install it fully, I've read that I need about 4ft extra piece of hose, and an additional fitting but I never saw what size or what kind of fitting I need. Im assuming that since I need extra stuff to complete it, that these coolers are universal? Are there any maxima specific ones? Anyone please chime in. Thanks!

Aside from the extra 4' or so of hose, everything you need should come with the kit.

I had a similar problem, had hard starts, replaced the sensor, and it turned out to be the harness, not the sensor.
OK so i ended up abusing the mazi about an hour ago... I accidentally hit a curb going around a round about, tired lost traction and hit the curb while turning... I know, im a complete idiot and shouldnt have taken the turn so hard...
Now onto damage....... (worst part) So the basically from a visual inspection, i have very strong positive camber, the wheel was bent back towards the back of the car so the tire is almost (like 2-3 in) from hitting the wheel well.
My thoughts...
Control arm is shot, maybe strut, tie rod.
Any thought as to what the damage could be?? (sorry for no pics)
I am taking it to the shop tomorrow, but before i hear back from them i was just wanting some insight of how much me being reckless is going to cost...

What would cause a OE HID headlight on a 2002 max to go out? (other than the light bulb burning out or having a blown fuse) For the last week or so my right side headlight would work about half of the time, then the other night it went completely out. I checked the fuses and found them to be ok, so then i bought a new bulb
Any Ideas?

Anyways, definitely have the entire front end looked at. When my wife blew over a curb it damaged the bearing as well.
Yeahhh, ive never heard it been called anything but a round about. But yeah tomorrow morning i am taking it to the shop.
Your best bet is to go for coilovers if not look at Tein S Tech springs as they offer the lowest from what i have read and heard. Also check out the Advanced Suspension, Chassis, and Braking thread as you will probably find more info there faster then waiting for one of use to answer you.
Will your car start if your cam shaft sensors go out? I'm not getting any power to the fuel pump, i've changed out the fuel pump, crank shaft sensor.
I just hooked a OBDII computer up to it, and it kept saying connection error everytime i tried to check it, i'm thinking the ECM is going out on my car.

Has anyone tried Valve-Kleen?
Hi:
Has anyone tried Valve-Kleen?
My 2002 GLE has this tapping or clicking sound. Few mechanics have told me the sound is from the lifters (on firewall side). My friend told me to try Valve-Kleen to clean the lifters before getting the lifters be replaced.
thanks

Does anyone know of a good test pipe to put with a Megan 3" Exhaust? There are a few on ebay for like $30 but dont know if cheap is better.

Speedo quick working today. Its been intermittently working here and there but now it won't at all. I can tap the top of the dash but that does nothing. is it in the speedo cluster? or is there a sensor on the tranny? (6spd) Any help will be great! Thanks!
Here is a helpful site that I saw on here and have booked marked. Who ever origonal posted this link thank you, it has been handy having it.

okay so I cleaned MAF sensor with CRC MAF cleaner. It solved the limp mode issue... BUT now i'm starting to have rough idling issues. my 2000 maxima would start up well, idle for like 10-15 seconds, and then dies out. When it dies out my battery light, engine oil light and CEL light would suddenly all pop out. any suggestions on what to do?

Have you checked the fuse labeled 'Fuel Pump' in the interior fuse panel? Also check the one labeled 'Inj' and 'Eng Cont'. Really you just need to check every single fuse in both the interior and underhood fuse panels.
Have you checked for switched power at the fuel pump relay, pin 1? Ground when you turn the key to on (for the first few seconds) or while cranking on pin 2? Switched power to pin 5? Continuity from pin 3 back to the fuel pump itself?
Have you tried jumping the relay block to see if the car starts?
Stop throwing parts at it, start doing a proper diagnosis. You're just going to burn through money if you don't. Not sure why you even replaced the fuel pump, as you have no way of verifying there's a fault with it if you aren't even getting power back there.

Do I have to change the blower motor?
Hi everyone,
I just bought a 2000 Maxima SE Manual w/ 91k miles. The previous owner changed the following think at 75k brakes, suspension, spark plugs & tires. After I bought it, I changed the oil, belts and air filter.
I started hearing humming noise from the AC and took it to a mechanic, he changed the cabin air filters and cleaned everything. Nothing has changed I still hear the humming noise. These are the symptoms, a humming noise from behind the glove compartment & at all fan speeds. I read a lot about this on the forum & have a few questions.
1. I hear the noise at all fan speeds(all speed settings work), does that mean my resistor is working fine and all I have to do is change the blower motor.
2. Is there something called a blower motor cover? That I have to buy long with the Motor.
3. Are there any other things that can possibly go wrong other that the Blower Motor in this case?
4. Do I have to change any other things on the car?
Your response is greatly appreciated.

I'de love to see where this EGR is. My service manual mentions nothing about it. I think just the really early 2000 model Max's had EGR.
Hello everybody,
I was looking at housecor's tutorials on how to aim headlights and said that Canadians will have a harder time aiming them or won't be able them at all. Why is that? Is there a way to aim them and if there is, how do you do it (no matter how difficult it may be)?

Update: My car wont even start now... no clicks no nothing! Can this be an battery or alternator problem? if it is, which one does the symptoms lean more towards to?
Does sound like the battery. Get a new battery and have them test teh alternator while you are there.
okay went to pepboys with the battery to get it tested. They said it's perfectly fine. the voltage is like 12.55V Cleaned off the corrosion off the terminals. Now the car starts... BUT.. after idleing the car for like a minute, same thing happened again. the tachometer would dip down and shut off the engine and all my lights (engine oil light, battery light, and CEL light) would go on. Turned it off again, cranked it again. The engine starts, and den dies after a second and all the lights popped out again.
