#401 of 460 Re: 05 Frontier CC-transmission oil [garyinfante] by asa Dec 17, 2007 (6:56 am)
Replying to: garyinfante (Dec 15, 2007 8:42 pm) I just was told today (while getting my oil changed) that the transmission is a selaed system and that any attempts to removed the "nut" and unseal the system voids your warranty. ...   I own the 6-Speed stick, so can't directly address this question, but I asked a knowledgable friend who owns the auto and he suggested that It's not sealed with a painted nut or in a way that Nissan would know if it were checked; he's checked his. It's easy to remove to bolt using a 10mm socket. The only way to void the warranty is to use the improper ATF -- be certain you use only what's recommended in your manual. The owner's manual states to have the fluid checked or replaced by the Nissan dealer but doesn't state any warranty issues if the owner checks it. You cannot cause any harm by merely checking the fluid unless you allow dirt or other contamination to enter the dipstick tube. The factory service manual is very specific on the point that only a lint-free rag is used to wipe the auto tranny dipstick and that it's fully inserted.   I think Nissan's main concern is that an owner doesn't contaminate the system and that the correct fluid is used. Hope this helps.

Replying to: rcourtna (Dec 13, 2007 9:04 pm) It was about 2 monts ago, not 2 years.   Short answer is no resolution to the question.   I went to my local dealer-they had no answer; I emailed Nissan cust service and got no response; I emailed a Canadian dealer and was told "maybe", but it would require a re-wire plus a plug-in module. So, it appears that even if it is possible, it would be expensive. My solution is to just turn on the lights when I cross the border. Replies to this message: wvtassel (Jan 03, 2008 12:28 pm)

Replying to: vtdog (Dec 17, 2007 4:56 pm) I brought a US Frontier to Canada. I just went out and bought an after market daytime running light kit (from ebay I think), and put it in. The kit wasn't too expensive -- maybe $45 US (I don't really remember) It's not too difficult to put in, or else a shop could do it for you -- any place that installs those auto start kits would be able to do it.   As for just turning your lights on, it ain't gonna work. It's not the crossing the border that's a problem, it's getting the vehicle registered and licenced in Canada that's the issue. (If all you are doing is driving about up here, don't worry about it, there's no law that says you have to have DRL to operate a vehicle here, just to licence it.) The vehicle has to pass a federal and provincial inspection to get licenced. The feds check for DRL. As far as I know, any kit works. They just check to see that the headlights are on when the ignition is on.
#404 of 460 Frontier won't come out of park by dteachmh Jan 23, 2008 (4:03 pm)
I've had this problem intermittently for about 4 months. You get in, press the brake pedal, and the shifter just doesn't move. Brought it to the dealer and he said "you must have just gotten something in it, it just needs a good cleaning out". Yeah, right. That didn't work, brought it back again and he said I need a whole new shifter assembly to the tune of $550. I just have this strange feeling it's like a $20 part and I don't need a whole new shift assembly. I've read about the ASCD brake switch. Could that be it and if so, how do I go about replacing. Cruise control seems to work fine and the three brake lights all come on when brake is depressed. Any help would be appreciated.

#406 of 460 90 nissan pickup idle problems by hagardreams Jan 27, 2008 (2:35 pm)
I have a 90 nissan pickup. It was missing really bad, and we changed the spark plugs and wires. It is running some smoother, but it is still idleing rough.   Any suggestions where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Julie
#407 of 460 '98 Frontier 4WD. Overvoltage? by thol Jan 28, 2008 (9:51 pm)
There are some salt deposits and corrosion around the battery of my ’98 Nissan Frontier 4WD. I sparyed the area with a solution of baking soda and rinsed well. I assume that the battery is deteriorating so I will soon change it.   But just to be sure I did not have an overvoltage problem I measured the voltage at the battery posts: Engine off: 13.1 V (OK) Engine idling: 14.90V Engine at 1500rpm: 14.92V   Are the 14.90 and 14.92V readings too high?   My shop manual says on pg. EL-30 (Trouble Diagnoses) that battery voltage at 1500rpm should be less than 15.5V which it is. However on page EL-32 the specifications say that regulated output voltage is 14.1 to 14.7V. I’m at 14.9. Is that a problem? Of course I used a cheap digital voltmeter but my experience has been that they are nonetheless fairly accurate.   The charge warning light does not indicate any malfunction. I read in the manual (pg EL-30) that the light is designed to detect overvoltage and will light up (which it does not).   Any suggestions on the 14.9V readings possibly being too high?

Hello, I have a 1998 Nissan Frontier and lately the instrumentaion works intermittenly, and when the ignition is turned off the, the temp gauge goes hot/cold and the speedometer reads 99999999 and stays lit up. This is also causing a power draw. Could this be a computer problem or a short. You help is appreciated.
#409 of 460 2008 Frontier SE Crew Cab - Car Accident by upsetmommy Apr 03, 2008 (6:12 pm)
We bought the above vehicle for our 16 year old son for Christmas (I can already hear the criticism). He backed into a concrete light pole at the local Kroger. The pole has a few flecks of black paint on it. Nationwide insurance has totaled it due to the extent of damage to the frame (the cab was fine). The adjustor is questioning why the damage is so severe b/c it doesn't appear that there was room for him to get the car up to enough speed to do the damage that it did! He was driving in reverse showing off his lousy turning radius. The damage is stunning. Most of you are guys. How was this possilbe? Does Nissan have some structure integrity issues or did my son do something incredibly stupid and flukey? Replies to this message: obyone (Apr 13, 2008 12:39 pm)
#410 of 460 Is your child OK? by moparbad Apr 05, 2008 (8:17 am)
If he is, the Nissan did it's job engineering the structure of the truck. Frontier is SOLID. Nissan went above and beyond what is required and needed when they engineered the 2005 Frontier. The frame is fully boxed and based off of the frame used in the Titan full sized truck.   Does Nissan have structural integrity issues? No. Vehicles are designed to "total" the vehicle, not the humans when they are crashed.   Critcism won't change a decision already made.   All I can say is that I had to earn every penny used to purchase my vehicles and every penny to insure them and it is my belief that doing so improved my values, however, if someone would have given me a new vehicle when I was 16 I certainly would have been happy to drive it.
