Replying to: skinsfan3 (Mar 20, 2008 4:51 pm) In general, it seems that the most of I have heard is that don't bother wasting time on the check engine light. I had a toyota Mr2 and lived with it for 9 years and 220,000 miles   unless you have to deal with emmisions. inspections. where I live (VA) they will automatically fail a car with a check engine light on.

Replying to: jd10013 (Mar 21, 2008 4:12 pm) The "time delay" on the switch located with the lights must be selected before the lights will turn off automatically. If the switch is in the "time delay" mode, you have a problem as they should have turned off automatically, otherwise it may be operator error or some other problem.

Replying to: ken75 (Mar 22, 2008 5:52 am) no, your wrong. You don't have to do anything. the lights will automaticly turn themselves off. there is no switch that must be selected. and before you argue with me, I own a 2007 altima 2.5s and have tested it. once the car is turned off, the lights are on a 5 minute timer.

Replying to: jd10013 (Mar 22, 2008 6:44 am) Well then I sure would like to know what that time delay, actually it is labeled as "auto", part of the light switch is for on our 2008 2.5 SL. I did not catch what year Altima was being discussed so it is quite likely an older model would not have this item.

Replying to: ken75 (Mar 22, 2008 7:19 am) It's a 2008. and I'll quote from the owners manual, page 2-29   "Battery saver system If the ignition switch is turned OFF while the headlight switch is in the on position, the headlights will turn off after 5 minutes.   what your talking about is the autolight system on the sl models which allows you to set the lights to go off after a set time period. or come on when it gets dark. there are probably a couple other things it can do.   but what I'm taking about is a standard feature on all altima's.

Replying to: jd10013 (Mar 22, 2008 10:53 am) Was not aware of that feature. Be a good idea to break out the manual. I would then have to say there may be an electrical problem which can be a veritable son-of-a-gun to track down. Should there be a warranty in effect for this sort of thing? Good luck!

Replying to: rugmankc (Mar 20, 2008 6:12 pm) blade422c,   Sorry about the error on my above post. I believe it was the air bypass valve. It was many years ago and I can't find the receipt. Not sure if all vehicles have that item, or maybe by a different name.   Ken

Replying to: blade422c (Mar 20, 2008 4:46 am) Yes! There has been a recall for this. It is to reprogram the computer.   I had replaced both sensors before the recall to reprogram the computer was put in place....nissan refused to refund me for replacing the sensors even though if I would have not had the computer error, i would not have had to replace the sensors and risk my and my childrens' lives when the car died while merging onto the hwy. Can you tell I'm pissed.   Anyway, get that done and you should be ok.   Good luck! Sam

Replying to: sssp (Mar 28, 2008 3:54 pm) Protect your self in the clinches. Get the names of everyone you spoke with about your problem, Get dates and make notes for yourself or sent confirming e mail. If and when you get into a dispute, you will have iron clad evidence of your efforts.
