I just got a 03 TE Maxima. I noticed that my mirror compass doesn't work, is there a fuse or something that may have gone out, or is there another procedure and im just a retard? lol

Also what kind of paint should I get since the outer edge of the rims is a little scuffed up, nothing major but I wanted to touch it up.

Thanx guys!

 

Does it not light up at all, or does it just not read correctly?

It runs off of the 10A 'METER' fuse. Far right, second from the top.

 

does not light up at all, i'll check that fuse, if anyone else has any ideas let me know

 

the fuses seem fine, is there anything else I should check before I take it to the dealer? The power outlet does not work either. I know those two things are small but it bothers me when something does not work. help me out guys, are the mirror and power outlet related?

 

Did you try pressing the compass button on the rear view mirror? IIRC the compass display can be turned on and off by with that button.

 

lol yes i tried pressing the button, i am trying to see if the power outlet not working is somehow related to the rearview mirror not working...

 

bumpppp

 

check the connection in the back of the mirror to make sure it's pluged in tight.

 

Replace the fuse as mentioned above. It's hard to see visually if a fuse is good or bad.

 

I replaced the fuse for the power outlet and now it works. The rear view mirror still doesn't work though, I checked the plug in the back of it, and ther are two wires running to it, the big plug is plugged in secure, I don't know what the other wire is. Is there a fuse I should check for the rear view mirror? Plz help me troubleshoot guys.

 

Yep.

 

alright i checked the fuse its fine, I replaced it just in case but the mirror still doesnt seem to have any power. any other ideas guys? should I just get a voltmeter and check for power at the plug?

 

bump...

 

Did you not check for power at the connector?

 

As for the wheel color question, go to www.courtesyparts.com and get the color "polished titanium" that came on the 02-03 maximas.

 

alright I checked for power at the connector and its 12 volts. Basically I need a new mirror right?

 

right? the dealer wants $700 for a mirror lol.... what other options are there? Is there some way to open the mirror and see if i can fix it?
