I am almost positive my drop resistor has gone bad--my shifts on my 95 Max Auto are super hard, very symptomatic of someone who has shorted their drop resistor for this very purpose. At any rate, does anyone know where to locate the drop resistor on my 95 Max so I can replace it? Thanks.

 

it's bolted on to the front-driver strut wall.



The arrow is pointing to a harness, but that is the area you'll find the resistor.

 

you can see it in this photo. same area as above but with an actual DR.

 

Thanks for the rapid response and the picture, what a great help. Do you happen to know where I can buy a replacement resistor other than the dealer? Do you know the resistor values? Thanks again.

 

11.2-12.8 ohms ,also make it is not shorting to the inner fender when it is bolted down

 

It's 12 MEGA-Ohms, not 12 Ohms.

 

Nissan dealer wants $55 for the part, anyone know an alternative method of replacing the resistor? Would radio shack have a resitor with the same values? Has anyone else had their drop resistor fail before? Thanks.

 

Did your CEL come on? I now if you do the drop resistor mod the light comes on.

 

i have a WOT switch setup and everytime i hit WOT, the CEL appears. its really annoying and thought about removin the bulb but then other possible problems that could light the CEl wouldn't appear. so i just reset my ecu
