#2220 of 2519 1995 - Passenger Door WILL NOT OPEN at all by baltmann Dec 28, 2005 (3:41 pm)
1995 Mercury Villager GS   Passenger door had some of the key issues noted (had to turn twice to unlock with key) but worked for the last year. Last night - passenger got out, and then latch would not work at all. Dorr just bounced open. I had to move out of the way, so I pushed the electic lock button to unlock then locked. And door latched.   Little did I know - I would never open the door again. Nothing will open the door. (no keyless entry on this old one). Just acts like the door is locked.   I was going to pull the door panel and replace the latch (I am assuming it is the nylon cylinder in the latch that sets locked/unlocked) But with the door closed - can not reach the 2 screws covered by the edge of the dash.   This is a tough one. Not really worth spending several $100 to have dealer figure it out. I have a new latch part on order.   Anyone had this issue? Anyone know of a way to get the door open? (Short of cutting out the door panel)   Bruce
#2221 of 2519 Re: 94 Villager Lock Cylinder Replacement - How to? [1hipmom] by htuckey Dec 28, 2005 (7:01 pm)
Replying to: 1hipmom (Dec 26, 2005 9:29 pm) Our 99 Villager will not allow me to turn the ignition key unless I have my thumb on the shiny side of the key. No kidding! My wife's key works okay, but mine will only work one side up. Both keys are duplicates, as we never got the original keys when we bought the car used. It also once had a remote starter, which was apparently ripped out by the original owner. I didn't know that when we bought it. Dunno if that makes a difference or not. Anyway, try the key in both orientations. Maybe you'll luck out.

Replying to: htuckey (Dec 28, 2005 7:46 am) First(and easiest)thing I'd check is the battery cables. Sounds like you could have a loose clamp. I've had this happen over the years with any different cars. Out of nowhere, you've have a totaly dead vehicle without even headlights as if there was no battery at all. Or you would have interior lights but when you would turn the key, everything goes out. Dash, interior, warning lights, buzzers might return after a couple seconds up to a minute. Whenever your headlight and interior lights fail, head straight for the battery. Give each a good twist and if you get one to move, it the one. At that point twisting it should restore good contact to get you going.   It only happened last summer on vacation with my 99. Those cheap factory clamps were the cause.   I have to add it's never happened on a morning start. Only after the car is driven a short distance and turned off to run in for a cup of coffee or pay for gas. Good Luck! Steve
#2223 of 2519 96 Quest Cant Shift out of Park by gbmls Dec 29, 2005 (10:05 am)
I am unable to shift out of park Again! This problem started a few years ago. First the Solenoid was replaced and the problem was resolved , I thought. Last summer the same problem reoccured. This time the Ignition was replaced, again the problem was resolved until yesterday. I cant move the shift lever out of park without depressing the break multiple times or jiggling the ignition switch. Do I need another ignition with or solenoid? Can anyone tell me what causes this, and can it be prevented form happening again? Please help!!!
#2224 of 2519 '97 villager check engine light by shouston Dec 29, 2005 (1:27 pm)
When my 1997 villager rolled 100,000 miles, the check engine light came ON. It was carried to a local mechanic for service. It has been returned 4 times, but the mechanic cannot isolate the problem. I am told that all parts for the EGR system have been replaced. I hope so with over a $700 repair bill.   I ordered a code reader and have cleared the P0400 code twice. So far the code has not changed. It appeared after about 120 miles were driven each time. I am recording the information to see if anything changes.   Does anyone have any ideas? I was told that the car was safe to drive, but I want to be sure. Replies to this message: meshhomelife (Jan 06, 2006 2:29 pm)
#2225 of 2519 99' Nissan Quest with no heat in rear by papaphilip Dec 30, 2005 (10:02 pm)
Replying to: htuckey (Dec 28, 2005 7:46 am) I just put a downpayment on a 1999 Quest GLE. While checking it out, we found the rear vents didn't deliver heat, only cool air. Sales guy said they were just for A/C, but this doesn't sound right. Is it true, or does the vehicle have a problem? Also, the stereo's display is out. Can't see station, etc. Is this a costly repair, or not a big deal? Thanks so much... great forum here. Philip Replies to this message: dhoff (Jun 19, 2003 1:41 pm)
#2226 of 2519 Re: 99' Nissan Quest with no heat in rear [papaphilip] by dhoff Jun 19, 2003 (1:41 pm)
Replying to: papaphilip (Dec 30, 2005 10:02 pm) papa-   Yes, on the 99 & up Quest the top vents are for AC only. There are small vents under the front seats that supply heat to the rear passengers.   I've heard of the radio display problem before and it can be reparied. There's a website (shareamemory.com I think) where they sell instructions to fix it.   Dave
#2227 of 2519 Driver side door lock/window control by kenata Jan 03, 2006 (1:27 pm)
Here's a good one. My drivers' side door lock/window control panel does not illuminate with the lights switched on. 96 Villager. The internal lamp is burned out. It looks nearly impossible to replace that lamp and the dealer thinks that the whole control switch assy. needs to be replaced for that problem. I have a hard time believing that a 25 cent lamp is not accessible. Plz tell me it ain't so. What kind of an engineer would allow that to happen!!?? Anyone able to replace this lamp?
#2228 of 2519 99 villager.. many problems please help by jennvettek Jan 04, 2006 (6:29 am)
Ok guys, help me out here. 1st problems was no heat. Husband replaced the thermostat. While working on it, went to reverse the car and heard a loud thud. Then, no reverse. Took it to the crook, auto repair shop...rebuilt my trans $1350.oo. Went to pick it up, ran horrible. Told me I needed a knock sensor and TPS throttle position sensor. Would be a few days, bring the car back. Tols me I could drive it. Went 4 miles roundtrip to the store, no heat again. Car overheating. Came home to find no coolent, all over the garage floor. Took it back, they claim it was the gaskets replaced, $250. Called yesterday, they don't have the tps sensor, and now feel we can wait on the knock sensor. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, IDLED A BIT HIGH...BUT NOW ALL THIS!!! Any suggestions????? Replies to this message: jennvettek (Jan 04, 2006 6:30 am) jennvettek (Jan 04, 2006 1:42 pm)
