#2340 of 2539 2005 Altima, Interior dome light issues by 06zx14 Nov 09, 2008 (3:31 pm)
Has anyone out there had a dome light that works intermitintly? My light stays out most of the time and some times it will come on if I tap on it. I've changed the bulbs a few times and the problem persists. Replies to this message: angela0630 (Nov 12, 2008 9:50 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 12, 2008 10:25 am)

Replying to: henryeb (Nov 11, 2008 11:13 pm) BIG question but let's get started:   Here's a good quick description of different types of brake pads:   BRAKE PAD TYPES   And once you know the terminology, here's a great FAQ section on pads and rotors:   Questions About Brakes and Rotors   As for struts, KYB is okay. Always buy quality in struts--stay away from any "bargains", they simply will not last. I like Bilstein and Koni but they aren't cheap.

First the overhead dome went, and workes when it wants to... then the map lights started going. Finally the plug in's for cell phone chargers/lighters went. Not quite sure what the issue is.

Replying to: mikneb (Sep 12, 2001 10:16 am) Check on passenger side of engine below a maze of railings---it is attached to the breather/seperator. Look directly in line with the N in Nissan towards the firewall. Inaccessible from above. Must be removed from below. You can barely see it from above, peeping and taunting you!!! I am going to evaluate the situation from below on my '95 Altima tomorrow and see whether to remove the IAC valve or the power steering to get at the blame thing. This is not a job for the meek or stupid-- but I'm gonna try anyway! P.S. Why didn't the morons at Nissan just put it in the gas tank and give you a fishing line and hook to remove it!!!
#2346 of 2539 01 ALTIMA RUNNING ROUGH by sasyamx Nov 16, 2008 (11:41 am)
I have a 01 that just started running rough only at idle, it just had a new tune up, the check engine light did come on and it had a p0171 code come up. In the book it says fuel system function lean side, in auto zone book that same code says bank one on the lean side , and the guy says it is a oxygen sensor upstream that is bad . Has anybody had this code and know for sure what it is before i spend $120. on a sensor. thanks Replies to this message: dmforce (Nov 16, 2008 4:42 pm) danny44 (Jul 10, 2009 7:05 am)

#2348 of 2539 DEFECTIVE GAS CAPS by roadrunner70 Nov 23, 2008 (6:23 pm)
my 03 murano needed a new gas cap at about 35000 miles. my new altima's gas cap seems to loosen on its own, sometimes i can tighten it and the light goes off, sometimes i can't and it stays on.   anyone else having issues with nissan gas caps.   the dealer is taking its time replacing the altima's cap.   thanks, rr70 Replies to this message: skinsfan3 (Nov 23, 2008 6:51 pm) tarnmaster (Nov 29, 2008 7:37 pm)

Replying to: roadrunner70 (Nov 23, 2008 6:23 pm) I sure as hell would not wait for a dealer to take care of this. (You are talking about a two second fix.) It is a good example of why the "big 3" are now looking for cash. If I were you I would buy myself an aftermarket cap, rather than let the loose one do its damage. If you can't locate one, try your nearest junkyard. Then send the dealer an invoice for your time and trouble. And make sure that you write to the GM at the dealership, telling him how you have posted this complaint for others to see.
