so yeah,.. there is just an open hole next to the hazards switch that i can stick my finger all the way through,.. completly missing the female port 'if you will',....

which kinda sucks cuz i cant really plug my gps or radar unless i use the rear one,..

and yes.. i took it apart and there is just one end of a harness/connector in there,.. so im thinking,.. there must be a part i can buy that has the harness on one end and the plug on the other,.. can anyone shed some light on this,..

i checked courtsyparts.com and there is a bunch of parts that range from 10-30 bucks with no pictures so i have no idea what to look at...

 

Try checking a scrapyard for something like this. You can probably get for a couple of bucks.

 

tHANX

 

i WILL thanks

 

definitely hit ur local pick n pull bro, keep ur eyes peeled for other things while ur there, i wish my local yards had some 5th gen maxes

 

exactly,.. last time i was there the only thing they had were 4th gens,..but that was prob 3 years ago,..heh..i should go,.. theres one < 5 miles from me

 

local yards to me say the cars too new im like say wha?? 2000 is too new? im like the cars almost 10 years old!

 

i know right..

so no one knows the nissan part number though?,.. Pmorh where are you when i need you

 

Good thing the only thing missing was the cigarette lighter for me, which I picked up at a Harbor Freight for $1.90.

 

I can't find 5th gens on local yards either. For a couple of bucks, I would venture to try if one from a 4th gen will fit there, though.

 

1+ on using a 4th gen one i wouldnt see how the plugs would be much different

 

They would probably be identical. At least I know the diameter of the lighter is standard.

 

so,.. Im still chasing the unicorn huh,..no one knows which part number it is...

heres the list of different parts.. and insight?..

stock doesnt come with the lighter, you need to get the smoker package

 

Huh???...

 

yep, the smoking package has a lighter and an ashtray

 

Im pretty sure you can get the smoker pack on ebay... I've seen 'em before on other accessory sites too.

 

Guys, he doesn't want the lighter element, he wants the actual socket the lighter plugs into. If I'm reading it right, his is actually missing.

Once again, look here: http://www.courtesyparts.com/maxima-...1996_2000.html

 

That was exactly my point with the "Huh?" comment above. My car has the socket with a cap that reads Power Outlet and I have a small tray to the right of that which I use for coins and such. Wasn't sure that cars came with lighters anymore, even if as an optional package.

 

exactly,.. i do not smoke nor have any desire to have a smoker package,.. i want to use my electronics..the physical socket has been removed by the owner before me..or the dealer i bought it from... why.. idk? electrical problems maybe? hope not..

i do not have the ability to plug anything in on the port next to the shifter,..GPS/ Radar/ Phone charger/ ect

meh.. i guess off to the boneyard it is at some point..

 

Didn't you look at that Courtesy diagram? Section K, Part 25330+A

Even when I was a smoker, I didn't smoke in my car. Too smelly. Haven't smoked in 15 years... still miss it.
