In my case it's behind my bed liner. If you don't have one, it's real easy. If you look inside of the back of your bed, right behind the tail lights, there are two bolts. They maybe painted the same as your bed, so look carefully. Remove both bolts and the whole light assembly comes off. Now you can just twist each light socket to remove the bulb.

Thank you for the reply. I have a bedliner also. Do I have to take the bedliner out to get to the bolts???

Well, in my case I'm able to pry the liner back. It's kind of difficult to do by yourself, depending on how lose fitting it is by the tailgate. Otherwise, you might want to just remove it. Good luck

Adding Power Steering to Nissan Hardbody Truck?
by ultima

Might be a stooooooopud question, but here goes...
I have an 1987 Nissan Hardbody Truck (2WD, Z24 Engine) as a second vehicle I keep around for projects and such and use my car (a Nissan Altima 3.5 V6) for work.
So here's my question... is there a way to ADD power-steering to the truck?
It's not a big deal for me to drive the truck (have always been able to handle the truck not having power-steering over the years), but my girlfriend has a VERY hard time driving it... turning the wheels while the truck is at a stand-still (manuvering in and out of the store parking lots, for example) and I was hoping there was a way to add power-steering to it to make it easier on her when she needs to use it.
Anyone know if this is possible? And if so, could you advise what would be involved in doing this... even what something like this might cost?
Thanks in advance!!!

Check the starting RELAY. It is located in the engine compartment passenger side about a foot up from the firewall.
I just went throught the same sanario and it turned out to be a faulty relay......
Good Luck!

I have the exact same problem with my 95 2.4. my alternator went bad about 6 mo. ago, so i took my starter off and had a guy rebuild my alt. and check my starter because of the starting issue, he said starter was just fine. I had already replaced the battery, cleaned terminals, and i was going to replace the pos. terminal because it looked like there was some corrosion in the wire, and i figured that could be part of the problem. Friday I talked to a mechanic at nissan and I had him explain how to replace it and keep the fusable links intact. I started it up for him so he could see the sluggish starting, and he also suggested that i check my timing. I put a meter on it and checked the voltage drop while starting and it went down to 10.4 V, he said it should never get below 10.6, but even that seems really low. I also ohm'd out the ground wire, and it had quite a bit of resistance, the starting got noticably better when i used my jumper cables and ran it from the neg. term. to the motor. Well fri. night i got in my truck and it was dead, and jumping it didn't help so i push started it to get home. The clutch/inhibit relay clicks and everything goes out (radio..never lost presets, dome), the volt. drop is only .2V just enough for relay to click, i also swapped it arround with the A/C realy to be sure it was fine. At this point i'm out of ideas, and I'll probably just have to take it to nissan and pay the damn money...I HATE vehicle problems. Any one got any more ideas?

So today I talked to a guy I work with that used to be mechanic at nissan, and he said its common for some bushing or something to wear out because when it engages the starter it arcs and that causes it to wear away, and one way to tell if this is happening is to quickly keep trying to start the vehicle, and that will make the brass (or copper or whatever it is) piece to slip a bit farther down and let it make contact and start, then I would know it was my starter. So I tried this on my truck, but just my luck not a damn thing happened, so I figured what the hell I'll take my starter off one more time even though he said it was good 6 months ago, and have it tested again. It was every bit the b!7(# I remember, 1.5 hours later its out and I'm on my way to Advance Auto, where as luck would have it the starter did nothing! So now I know that the starter was bad, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to install it to see if I still have the dead battery symptom at startup, if so then i'm taking it to nissan because that could be what killed the starter, if not then I know it was the problem.

95 V6 KC Backup light, Steering asmbly, Timing belt change

I've owned this truck 11 years and have about 300,000 miles on it.
A few questions for my fellow Nissan Truck afficianados
I Changed the transfer case a couple of years ago. At that time I made sure the reverse sensor switch on the tranny was in working order but my Backup lights just won't work - or they'll work for a microsecond when I put it in reverse, then go out. What to do??? I thought the little piston on the sensor wasn't long enough but I compared it to replacement switches and they're the same. Any advice???
Next - I'm getting ready to replace the timing belt - how do I know when my motor is on Top Dead Center??? Any ideas about immobilizing the cam and drive shafts before I remove the old belt???
Also, I heard that removing the lower drive shaft pully is part of the job and that it's a real bitch to remove - any truth to this?
Lastly, my steering seems kinda loose sometime - especially when I'm on asphalt highway with ruts and when I jack it up it's easy to move the front wheels right to left. Is it loose? Remember the age of this thing. Or is it suppose to be a little loose so there's less wear and tear when your 4-wheeling?
Thanks
G-Man

As for the back-up lights, disconnect the switch and put an ohmmeter on the switch leads. If the switch is good, you ought to see the meter move as you shift into and out of reverse. No need to run the engine of course.
