Again this was all in either neutral or park. I'll pry get flamed for this but i figured that id post it anyway cause i thot it was so strange. Why would it do this??

You could also have an alternator problem. Go to autozone and they can do a free diagnostic test to maybe determine the cause. Good luck!

For dino oil, use Castrol GTX.
Also, use a mobil 1 M1-110 filter or the Nissan OEM 15208-9E000 filter.

I just bought a 2k2 6 speed with HLSD. From what I can tell, HLSD is the only option it has. No leather, no sunroof, no Bose, etc. It didn't have a keyless remote with it. Do all 2k2's have keyless entry? I just bought a keyless remote off of eBay. I'll try to program it when it gets here.

And yes, all 5.5 gens came with keyless entry, so programming your new remote shouldn't be a problem. I programmed my new one in a matter of seconds.

That's cool that you have HLSD though! I always thought that came only on the fully loaded cars.

Anyone have these gauges with surround
I bought this car used and I was wondering if all the gauges are standard. They glow blue when lights are on. They also go on and off intermittently and any suggestions on how to fix or diagnose where the connection is bad would be appreciated.

Autozone OBD scanner screwed up my car?
I just went to Autozone to have them pull CEL codes and when the technician hooked the scanner up to my car, the following problems occurred:
- The electronic clock went out and will not come back on.
- No codes could be read by the scanner (I have since tried with three other scanners and all of them acted like they weren't even connected to the car).
- The trip odometer will not hold the mileage when I turn off the car.
These problems did not exist before taking it to Autozone! What could have happened and how do I fix it?? A blown fuse? A short somewhere?
The radio, AC, and sunroof all still work fine, and the regular odometer appears to be accurately tracking mileage. The check engine light is still on. Help!

One more question. Do heated mirrors come standard, or are they only included in the heated seat/steering wheel package? There is no button to turn them on like in my last car. Do they automatically turn on with the defroster? There is a place to put a relay under mirror heater, but there is no relay there.

To troubleshoot a bad connection, I'm afraid you're going to have to remove your gauge cluster and check the wiring in the back.
Look here for how to remove the cluster:

If you want, you can just remove the overlay alltogether and retain the stock gauges.

The free search on this site is not the greatest and I cant use the real search untill I pass a 15 post mark which is stupid, but I like what I am seeing here at the forum so I am trying to get out of the super new user status.
QUESTION whats the city mpg supposed to avg for a 2000 maxima?
Mine has gotten 19 and that is bothering me. I had an older max and it got like 23-25 in the city.
My ses is on and its mentioning p0505 which is the IACV and I have not made the time to clean it yet, and put new plugs in it so I am unsure if that will increase the milage yet.
BTW this is a new to me used maxima. 2000 GLE with 80k on it.

Vacuum Hose off Transaxle leads to nothing
I grabbed this picture of Sooners engine bay-thanks man and highlighted in red where this hose is. It comes out of the trans right below the intake and leads up, is bent, mine is zipped to a bracket below the PCV to Intake hose and connects to nothing. Am I missing a piece?
Any help would be appreciated.

2.) Completely depends on your driving style/traffic conditions. 19mpg is fine for all city driving.
3.) Is there anything weird going on at idle? Definitely clean the IACV first and reset the ECU to see what happens. If not, it's entirely possible that you need a new IACV altogether. IACV failure is fairly common with these cars.

Ohh I had no idea I needed to donate to use the search, sorry if I came off as a tard about that.
Thanks for the tip on the IACV. I read somewhere that to reset the ECU that you need to unplug the battery for an hour, I think I read that on these forums.
Then in my haynes maxima book that covers 93-2001 it says to not do that and they only mention the ecu with the turn screw which this max doesnt have. Book seems outdated.
What do you suggest to reset the ECU on this 2000 max?

NOOB steering wheel control ?
I am looking to ugprade my factory bose HU with a Kenwood i found at crutchfield. They have a 70 dollar option for steering wheel controls. Do i need to buy that? I read somewhere i thought that you just need to run a color coated wire and you regain the steering wheel controls. Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Thanks
