Please read your owner's manual.

Your owner's manual tells you the type of bulbs your vehicle uses, and how to access them (with pics!). It also has service intervals and location of common user-serviceable items.


Please buy a Haynes or Factory Service Manual (FSM).

The Haynes manual is under $20, a FSM (new) is around $90 or so. The Haynes manual is not as detailed as the FSM but covers a lot of items with surprisingly good detail. I don't have a Chilton manual so I cannot comment on which one is better.

From my 4th gen Haynes manual:
Chapter 1: Tune-up and routine maintenance
Chapter 2: Part A SOHC engine, Part B DOHC Engine
Chapter 3: Cooling, heating and air conditioning systems
Chapter 4: Fuel & Exhaust systems
Chapter 5: Engine electrical systems
Chapter 6: Emission and engine control systems
Chapter 7: Part A Manual transaxle, Part B Automatic transaxle
Chapter 8: Clutch and driveaxles
Chapter 9: Brakes
Chapter 10: Suspension and steering systems
Chapter 11: Body
Chapter 12: Chassis electrical system
Wiring diagrams
Index

The Haynes manual has pictures that show component and sensor, connector location, how-to's, hints, specifications, testing methods (sensors, components, etc),diagnostic codes, etc.

The .org is a useful place to troubleshoot and get assistance but if you refer to the manuals first and then pose questions, it helps speed up the replies. Org members are generally friendly and helpful and some even consider it a challenge to diagnose other members' problems.

However, it starts with you. Educate yourself first. Know your car.

 

Kind of expensive for a 2K2 owner - $200+ for Nissan's - No Haynes available.
Some day ....

since when did the 4th gens come with a SOHC engine?

 

or u can alays see who is willing to lend u a "back up" cd.

 

I've asked around - - got the Navi's but no "offerers" on the shop manual. You offering?

LOL. People make "backup" cd's for Windows 2000 Server, yet they get all protective over a repair manual cd.

That's why the auto industry still trys to take profits where they may. Last time I checked in the IT world the manuals are all free and on .pdf. You just go online and get them. And some of the equipment runs in the millions, not 21k like a new Maxima.

 

sorry i've got the 2k-2k1
i'de be glad to show u a back up of my navi software however i dont' have a DVD burner the dvd itself is around 300bux as opposed to cdrom based navigation cd software.

 

Unfortunately my Navi is the Nissan special - I like the Birdseye view but do wish it was DVD like yours.

I'd be willing to find a "backup" of 2000 Server for a backup of the 2K2 shop Manual. hehehe

I do wish that they would make the Shop disks more reasonable. I mean it costs like .50 to burn them and they had to produce them anyway for the Service depts. I wish they made them more reasonably priced. It is just a pure profit center for them.

At least there are some members here that will send you pages from their disk on any specific thing you want. That's cool of them.

Oh well.. THe 19.95 Haynes will be out one day...

It covers 3rd and 4th gens. But not the VE

The Chiltons covers the VE.

 

Does anybody know the website where the .pdf for the 3rd gen and a 4th gen can be found?
