#15 of 47 '99 Maxima Electrical (ECM/Harness) Problems by ammorrossa Jul 26, 2007 (8:23 am)
Hi, I need help and advice. My Maxima would not start suddenly about a week ago so I had it towed to a local mechanic. That mechanic couldn't figue it out so I had it towed to another mechanic, and finally I had it towed to the dealer.    After an extensive diagnosis, the Nissan dealer service rep said that the problem is that my main electrical harness had been cut and that my ECM needed to be replaced. Now prior to this current problem, my car was running fine.    So I'm thinking that one of the mechanics previous to the dealer cut the harness because my car probably would not run with the cut harness, right? Anyhow, I need to know my options because my dealer said that the ECM unit is $880 and the harness is $1,800, plus another few senors and with labor, my total cost would be $3,900, which I definately don't have.    What options do I have? Can I buy the ECM and harness somewhere else and have an Electrical mechanic put it in? Is this a difficult job to do? Please help! Any advice would be so appreciated! By the way, for reference, I live in Temple City, CA. Thanks so much for your help!!!
#17 of 47 Remote Key Fobs Won't stay programmed by sherrieg Aug 02, 2007 (5:55 am)
Has anyone had trouble with keeping remote keyless entry fobs programmed. My husband and I have to reprogram them starting every 6 weeks. Now we are having to program them every 3-4 days. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: pat (Aug 02, 2007 9:37 am) sherrieg (Aug 02, 2007 10:39 am) pat (Aug 02, 2007 1:55 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: sherrieg (Aug 02, 2007 5:55 am) Altimas and Infiniti G35s are having issues with their Smart Keys related to cell phones. I have no idea if the Maxima is affected (what year? This is an issue with the last MY for Altima and current for G35), but one place folks are talking about this is here: Nissan Altima Smart Keys and Cellphones.

Replying to: pat (Aug 02, 2007 9:37 am) It's a 1996 Maxima SE model. This has been going on since January, 2007... Replies to this message: pat (Aug 02, 2007 1:55 pm) ttesch (Dec 06, 2007 6:45 am)

Replying to: sherrieg (Aug 02, 2007 10:39 am) Oh, well then it seems unlikely to be related to the current Nissan issues - sorry. Maybe someone here can offer some thoughts. Replies to this message: ttesch (Dec 06, 2007 6:45 am)
#21 of 47 Rattle in right front by sherrieg Sep 25, 2007 (5:33 am)
My 1996 Maxim SE has a rattle in the right front. It only makes this noise when I hit big bumps. Any idea what this might be? My husband is wondering if it is the shock. Replies to this message: morrissuz100 (Aug 17, 2009 6:53 pm)

#24 of 47 what is going on? by ttesch Dec 06, 2007 (6:45 am)
Replying to: pat (Aug 02, 2007 1:55 pm) I have a 97 maxima se 5 speed i battery light has been coming on for like a month now but when you run the rpms above 3000 the light goes off. i hooked a voltmeter up to this to see if the alternator was kicking in but it wasn't. If i hit a back road and give it in 3rd gear get it going like 90 and push the clutch in it would work and finally kick in. Now that its cold out it never turns on there so my car dies. I don't know if i have a bad voltage regulator battery or what but i have tested all the voltages from the alternator to the battery and grounds good and the cables are good. i have also tightened the belt. if it was bad i wouldn't think that it would kick in everyonce in a while. if this keeps up im just going to put a new alternator in it and hope im not wasting money any help on what to do??
