Mine works fine though. Its just occasionally that it opens by itself when i bearly start the car, or like a min or 2. But im goin to read the manual in the morning, see if it has anything that would help. thanks

 

Why not read the thread, the information from the manual is in there.

What does 'barely start the car' mean, exactly?

 

I did read the thread and it talks about when you disconnect the battery, it causes your sunroof not work completely (like it don't work)and you have to activate it(shows you in the owner manual). "Bearly start the car" means when i turn the ignition is on to turn the car on. Its not just in the morning nor the first time of the day. Its anytime it can happen.

 

That doesn't mean the car is on as in running.....

 

1. perform sunroof relearn procedure
2. enjoy

 

The inside of the headlights shouldn't be dirty because the headlights are sealed. However, the outside of the headlights tend to become yellow and scratched up over time. here's a thread on how to clean your headlights.

I went from the stock 200 headlight bulbs to the 2k3 HID's but I do have some Sylvania Ultra foglight bulbs and I like them. Here's a link to their page. You can get them at Autozone.http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...ar/default.htm

I don't know about those fogs.... This might help you though. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=449650

 

I have clanking noise coming from the right rear wheel side, especially when i run on bumps. It sounds like something is loose. But when I took a glimpse underneath the car, it seems like everything intact. Could it be the exhaust or muffler?

 

yes, actually it happens a lot with aftermarket exhaust. try putting hose clamps on the rubber hangers and see if it makes a difference.

 

I have a 2000 Maxima Automatic with 54K miles on it.
I have had a coil that go bad on me a week ago and I was getting constant misfire with the usual TCS/SES/SLIP indicators on. About three days ago the new coil arrived but the ABS light suddenly went on. I replaced the coil and cleared the codes for the OBD and SES and SLIP went away. However, the ABS and TCS OFF lights are still on. I reset the OBD again and then removed the battery link and its still there. Anybody got any clues? I searched all over the place for TCS + ABS but haven't found anything conclusive. Basically, the TCS and ABS lights don't light until about two seconds after the car is started.

Is it an ABS sensor failure? Or alternator Failure? Or do I need to flush my break fluid? Help? Anybody seen this before?

 

sounds like ABS. i have a bad RF abs loop and my light is off when i start the car, but then after driving like 20ft it goes on...

CRAP, now i'm only get 1320...errr...now i have replace all my coils....

 

Yeah, i know a lot of people have said it's easier to replace all of them instead of messing around with trying to figure out which one is bad

 

I think my car is trying to mess with my head. Here's the series of events:

Day 0: SES light comes on, I get code p1320 and misfire in cylinder 6. Tested resistance of coil: 3.3M ohms #Bad
I order new coil.
Day 1: SLIP and TCSOFF lights come on, some occasional shaking. #EXPECTED
Day 3: ABS Light turns constant #WTF Never Seen This Before, stops driving car and wait for coil

Today part 1: Coil Arrives/Installed, Reset OBD, ABS + TCS Still On #ERR
Today part 2: Disconnect Batt and ABS TCS SES SLIP All ON #!!!!
Today part 2 cont: OBD 1320 No Cylinder Misfire Code #???
Today Part 3: Reset OBD, ABS and TCS. Drives Around Block to test ABS, no avail, can't stomp on break hard enough to lock wheels cause traction too good.
Today Part 4: Confused and Drives 20 Miles (ABS and TCS light turns off when stopped and on when moving but turns off randomly) #ABS sensor Problem probably
Today Part 4 cont: Restart engine and TCS + ABS is GONE!! #YAY
Today Part 4 cont: But Brake + Battery Light Turns ON #QWE@#%#%#A

Today Part 8: Posting this on forum to see if ne1 else knows wtf is going on. I swear my car is out to f*$% me.

 

It now sounds like an alternator problem to me....http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=535158

 

will 350z seats fit in the 5.5, at least with minimal work? thanks

 

oh i also want to lower my 02 but i only wanted to do the front since it is much higher than the rear, can anyone advise good or bad? or how much is a good drop (") thanks for the anticipated help

 

Noticed this morning while warming the car up, my A&B trip miles were reset to 0.0 mi. I know it was at about 530 mi prior as I was keeping count of how many miles after I changed my IACV. Clock, and radio presets were normal. Any ideas what the hell happened?

 

Thats not such a bad idea, many people have done it. Usually with H&R springs. They lower the front 1.4 (give or take)

 

Is it a good idea to pay $400 to get the 90,000 mile scheduled service done to my car at All Tune & Lube??? Cause it seems a bit much to me; they are only changing the oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, and drain and fill the radiator. The rest i think they are inspecting, well the guy there said that he was going to do the BG44k thing to my car thru the brake booster hose (i already did the seafoam thing to the gas tank and the engine crankcase) so is this amount too much or can i do it on my own?

 

A quick trip the the How To Stickys will get you where you need to be in the comfort of your own front yard for less than half that price.

 

i have a nooooobie question: the insulation on the hood, is it for sound or heat? ive wanted to remove it for a long time for weight reasons but im afraid the hood could get warped from the heat. i felt it one time and there was a considerable difference in temp between the temp on the surface of the insulation and the surface of the inner hood. any thoughts?

 

You'd have to get pretty hot to warp the hood, i.e. you wont warp it.

 

thx. i saw that krismax had it removed, but i also knew he had a lot of janky things going on for weight reduction so i wasnt sure. but thanks for the help

 

you realize you could get the same weight reduction by removing a can of coke from the cup holder?

 

thanks...i do remove the cans of coke from my car before i race so . plus thats not true, its like 4 lbs. and EVERY pound adds up. a week ago i was 2lbs of weight loss from 13's so...

 

how do you make that up

i guess im 20lbs away from 12s

 

yeah...cause 18lbs gets you 1 sec. nice logic

 

mine was a joke.
you didnt explain your logic either.
how can you prove that you were 2lbs from 13s

 

i cant, its just theory. 14.001 - 2lbs theoretically = 13.999. it doesnt matter cause i was into the 13's this week, just trying to show how every little bit helps

 

Go on a diet.

 

Drive nekked?

Ok fellas back on topic mmmk?

 

hey everyone
newbie here with a 2002 maxima
i just bought it and it came with an aftermarket head unit which didnt work so i got another one but unlike the non working unit, the pins in the back are different
the new one has 8 pins lined up in a row while the old HU had 4 on top and 2 on bottom setup

can anyone please help

also, my foglights do not light up

the car is a 2002 GLE

appreciate it

 

You have to get a wire harness kit for your radio.

Check your fuse and relay for the fogs and replace them.

The relay is located in the relay box that is on the passenger side engine bay next to your coolant res. It is the back right one, also labeled on the relay box cover.

 

thank you very much and sorry for the newbie question but how do i check if the relay is messed up and needs replacing?
and where is the fuse for the fogs?
mine didnt come with a manual

 

I have an auto 2000 se. What is the term to describe when I manually shift from 1st to 2nd gear then into D?

I haven't flashed the computer yet so if I floor it it won't shift past 5-5.5 rpms.
