#1704 of 4048 Wind noise by timadams Jan 14, 2004 (5:12 am)
I had the wind noise repair done to my back doors last month, and it does indeed make a noticeable improvement. Your service department should know about the TSB.
#1705 of 4048 92 maxima electrical problem by rjbusenitz Jan 14, 2004 (11:28 am)
I have a 92 maxima gxe that just started having some electrical problem. All of the sudden, the radio and antennae stopped working, the keypad on the door for locking/unlocking the doors, opening trunk etc. stopped working, the anti-theft stopped working and the automatic seatbelt will not operate with the ignition off. I thought it was a fuse, but no fuses are bad. Then I thought it might be the anti-theft relay by the battery, but i replaced it and nothing changed. Is there some secret fuse that I am missing? Help? i am tired of having to open my door while the ignition is on to have the seatbelt go down.

has intermittent electrical problems like the ones you mentioned. Inability to use key less entry, seat belts don't retract, etc. Comes and goes. I haven't been able to isolate the problem though. I'm sure someone here will have had success fixing such...I hope.
#1709 of 4048 Rust penetrator? by sox_in_04 Jan 15, 2004 (7:32 am)
Anyone know what the best rust penetrator is? I always used WD-40 in the past, but I assume there might be something better by now. I have to replace the exhaust system on my Max and those bolts are corroded pretty bad. Any fire safety issues I should be concerned with spraying a penetrator on my exhaust system, then driving?

The best rust penetrator for an exhaust system is a TORCH You could try Liquid Wrench but it's about the same as WD40. Or 3M has a product too. Usually with exhaust the bolts get frozen in place from the heat and you end up torching. Not something I've done personally, just hearsay from reading lots on chat boards.

Yeah, I know the trusty torch does wonders. But its not the same working on these cramped engine compartments as it was in my '72 Dodge Dart with the infamous slant 6 (you could crawl inside and shut the hood!). I was trying to avoid the burnt arms, fingers, wiring, etc. But your probably right, a little burn salve is probably better than a broken exhaust manifold stud

Some consider BP Blaster a good rust penetrant too. Personally, I had excellent experience with using an air impact wrench on loosening rusty nuts, such as ones on exhaust system clamps. Most of the time I could not even budge them with a hand wrench, but my 400 ft-lbs impact wrench spun them off instantly without breaking the clamp. A good air impact wrench is definitely a life saver for some jobs.
#1713 of 4048 Coils revisited ... by gymshoe Jan 15, 2004 (9:54 pm)
Okay...so my 2000 Maxima SE suffered the Service Engine Soon syndrome accompanied with the engine shakes. Reading a bunch of the posts from 3 months ago, sounds like I have hit the bad coils...I fit right in. 2000 maxima, 51K miles. Bam! almost like clock work right fellas? So my question is.. will I do further damage if i keep driving it? ...I mean ...like another day or two. Long enough to get me to work tomorrow and then to the mechanic?
