Hi, dgr008. This happened on my 2002 Maxima
also. It has something to do with when you
replaced the battery. My trusty Max was totalled in a wreck back in July, so as I sit
here today, I can't remember how I got it to
work. I know it was something really simple.
I remember thinking, uh-oh, I'm gonna have to
take it in to be looked at(I was just out of
my warranty at the time). And then voila!
It worked the next day. I wish I could remember what I did, but it will work. You
might want to give the Nissan dealer a call.
They probably could tell you exactly what to
do over the phone, as they should know once
you tell them a new battery was put in. Good
luck!! Or better yet, you might want to check
in your manual. It's possible the answer is
in there.

Thanks for the feed back.
I took it to my mechanic today and he said that it was unrealed to the battery and said it was probably a switch or fuse problems and to bring it back to him on Monday. A few moments later he said wait a minute and slipped inside, pushed on the button and the sunroom worked! I said what did you do? He replied "i have magic fingers..no charge".

Good deal, dgr008. But I do believe it was
related to the battery being replaced. If you
get a chance, check your manual. I keep thinking that there might have been something
I found in there about this when I was trying
to get my sunroof to work when I had my Max.

#5 of 87 Disable window opening by damnyankee44

Anyone know if it's possible to disable the feature of having the front windows open when the open button is held down on the remote? The windows on my Maxima and Titan open up at night sometimes from stuff in my pocket pushing on the remote button. The owners manual doesn't offer any way to disable this feature.

#6 of 87 2001 Maxima problems by slybri

Jan 16, 2007 (11:43 am)

My 2001 Maxima is lighting up like a christmas tree. The service engine light came on, so I went and got it fixed. My mechanic said he fixed what the code told him to fix (and I believe him). But the light came back on and he can't figure out why. Now my driver side airbag light keeps blinking. Anybody have any advice on what to do? I'm trying not to have to take it to the dealership to get fixed. Thanks!

My 2003 Maxima doesn't have this feature but I wonder if setting the power window lock out button (the one that prevents anyone other than the driver from lowering the windows)might prevent this from happening?

#9 of 87 95 maxima. how to install ignition switch by donniemc

Mar 31, 2007 (6:07 am)

My 95 Maxima won't start in hot weather until several turns of the key.I believe(hopefully), that it's the ignition switch. I bought the little harness assembly and am in the process of trying to put it on.My mechanic experience is very limited.I have a couple of things off under the steering column and I have spotted the old harness.It looks pretty simple to change out.Any advice?Do I need to detach the negative cable from the battery?
 
Thanks, Donnie

Hi Donnie, did you ever figure out the cause of your ignition problem? or how to solve it?
 
I'm having a very similar problem, but am not sure if it has to do with the hot weather or not. My '97 Maxima has always been stubborn about turning over. It has often not turned over on the first try, but then after I push the brake down or turn the steering wheel and try again it has always started up just fine.
  
Today it won't budge. It just makes that clicking sound and I see a little pulley move near the engine, but that's it.
  
Any ideas?

#11 of 87 Power Seat issue by pep59

Jun 22, 2007 (3:54 pm)

I have a '02 GLE that recently the power seat won't move the seat forward or back. The other power adjustments work fine. My guess is it's a bad switch??? any ideas?
