Hello, I am new to this website but ever since i got my car i have came here for troubleshooting
I only got my first car 2 months ago, i have always loves maximas
this time though..i cant find a solution to the problem:

I bought the car for $3050 with 108k miles on it, nothing was wrong with it except it has a fair amount of scratches..and the volume **** on the radio did not work which i thought would have been an easy fix
About a month in of driving it, other electrical problems started
First, half of my dashboard meter gauges would not light up sometimes.
if i hit the top of it, they would light up
one time i hit it and it sounded like something fell, and they did not light back up..i thought they never would again because of the noise i heard
however they did light up again randomly..a few days later on their own
Second, my car has struggled to turn on a few times..the engine stalls and begins to flood as if the battery is dead
the first time it happened i had all my lights switched on, as well as the radio, and both defoggers to max heater fan
and the car started making a screeching noise, so i turned it off
when i tried to turn it back on that is when it wouldnt and i thought i had killed the battery
after a few key turns it did turn on..weakly
and i carried on
2 weeks passed by..and it happened again, however, i had barely tried to turn on the car to warm it up as it was cold outside
a few key turns..and on it went..then i noticed MY VOLUME **** FOR THE STEREO WORKED, IT HAD NEVER WORKED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR
i went to work, and when i came back out, my car started without a problem..but the radio volume **** was back to not working...

At that point i went for a battery test. all the places i went to told me my battery was at 100% charge and actually had more shock than normal, i didnt know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but they said that it meant my car should always start up great so maybe i needed a tune up

Yesterday, i decided to install a bunch of LED's for the interior, as well as the reverse lights, trunk light, and license plate lights
i successfully installed the: dome light, both door step lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, and trunk light
i did not have the correct bulbs for the vanity mirror lights, or the map/personal light
Stupid me, tried fitting one of the bulbs meant for the dome light, into the vanity mirror light sockets..it lit up and then made a buzz noise..then all the lights went dead, i thought i had killed my battery or something so i went to turn on my car
it turned on with no problem, and then i noticed that all of the lights i had installed did not work, except the reverse lights and the license plate lights on the exterior..those still worked
The dome light, trunk light, door step lights did NOT work..i replaced bulbs back for originals and still nothing, so its not the LEDs..i must have burnt something out or shorted..and its NOT the fuses because i checked every single one of them under steering wheel as well as in engine compartment and they look fine to me
One more thing, MY POWER LOCKS STOPPED WORKING TOO, i cant use my remote, nor the door switch..i have to do all manual locking..and unlocking with key now
i noticed i forgot to switch out the glove compartment light for LED bulb, that light is still working
all exterior and dash lights are working
just not the ones i installed..or my locks!
What could it be? PLEASE HELP!

 

Hey buddy,

I also am facing similar problems. Were you able to fix it? If so, how?
Am really fed up with the starting issues. Please let me know.

Thanks
