Replying to: obyone (Apr 27, 2008 8:13 am) same here changed the plugs cleaned the uper manifold and throttle body and wa-la--engine light is on. I have been driving with it on for about 3 weeks and it went off finally. i did pull the battery cables off over night and it made no difference. Fuel economy is good so i'm just driving it.

Replying to: tb4me (May 29, 2008 11:38 am) I am curious; at what mileage did you change your plugs? I am just below 50k on my 03 Max SE. Today i got new rear brake pads, the first real mx i had to do except for new tires at 35k. Still a great car...
#3862 of 4048 05 Max Auto Trans by ckone0814 May 31, 2008 (5:57 am)
05 Maxima with 105k miles. Just yesterday automatic trans started "searching" all over, no consistency, sometimes shifted down, sometimes up, tachometer would shoot up then drop down suddenly - did this while accelerating and also at consistent speeds it sounded as though the gear was too low. Problem appeared after 45 min drive in 85 degree heat so it was hot.   This morning I checked trans fluid per nissan recommendations driving car for 5-10 mins first. Fluid actually was above "hot" zone on the dipstick, even as far as where the bends in the rod are. Not sure how this can be. No fluid was added recently.   Any ideas anyone? How is the auto trans fluid cooled on this model? Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: alexstore (Jun 01, 2008 4:45 am)

Replying to: ckone0814 (May 31, 2008 5:57 am) interesting, Have you ever replaced tranny oil 30/60/90 k? If you did how much oil did you use? Interesing enough , though tech manual says 7.5q. for some reason 3.5 is enough according to a dipstick. After replacing , I drove 100 miles and went back to a shop and levels were fine. BTW since your car is now out of warranty( even extended one) , I suggest that you visit a tranny shop to have it checked.
#3864 of 4048 Trunk release 2K Maxima by heart2 Jun 06, 2008 (7:47 am)

#3865 of 4048 Battery replacement triggers alarm by jlee4171 Jun 08, 2008 (4:35 pm)
Hi, I have a 1990 Maxima SE, I have replaced the battery before but never had such an issue; today I bought a new battery, after I first connected the positive cable, then the negative cable, about 30 seconds later when I tried to start the car, the alarm went off. I don't have an alarm remote so I don't know how to turn it off. I tried turning the key to ignition "on" but it did not stop the alarm. Can someone let me know how to correct this problem? (Yesterday when I tried to jump the battery, it did the same thing.) Over the years of ownership I have replaced its battery many times but never had this issue.   Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, Jason

Replying to: heart2 (Jun 06, 2008 7:47 am) There is an switch in the truck, near the bottom. The purpose of this switch is so if someone breaks your window, the still can not open the truck. If you move the switch to the opposite side, the truck will open with the remote.

Replying to: kanej316 (May 02, 2008 12:23 pm) hi kanej316    I am having the same exact problem -- did you figure out what was wrong? Will you please post what the problem was or send me email.    thanks!
#3869 of 4048 ABS, TCS and SLIP lights by suydam Jun 30, 2008 (8:16 am)
These lights keep coming on. Sometimes if I turn off the ignition, then turn it back on again, they go off and stay off. I took it to the dealer a week ago and they said it was build-up of grime on the rear wheel sensor, so they cleaned it up. A week later I am still having the same problem. They say I might have to replace the rear wheel sensor -- any idea what that should cost?   The car runs just fine so it is rather maddening. Any ideas? What bothers me is that I don't know if these systems are all functioning, but it's a problem with whatever makes the lights show up on the dash, or if the systems really are shut down whenever the lights appear.   I have an '01 GLE that up to now has been extremely trouble-free.
