#31 of 87 digital dash only works sometimes..1990 maxima by johnny2521

Apr 18, 2008 (8:06 am)

I have a 1990 nissan maxima, car runs great, only two issues, the heater/AC display will be very dim at times, good wack on the side of the dash usually fixes that, and the digital dash only comes on after the car has warmed up, but then will come on the rest of the day. I've replaced all relays next to the fuse block ( Blue and Brown) no chance, I checked and cleaned electrical connections behind the dash..no change. does anyone know where the relay is that controls dash illimunation is? it acts like a relay that is sticking. thanks..Johnny

I have a 1992 Nissan Maxima. My battery kept dying, so I replaced it. I then replaced the alternator, because the battery still kept dying. Now, the radio if coming off and on, the windows are rolling down by themselves, and the clock won't keep the time. I am assuming electrical, but can't afford to continue guessing. Please give me some ideas!!!

My 2000 Maxima is doing the exact same thing with the exact same electrical components doing what your car is doing. One mechanic said it may be one of 4 CPU's in the car (computers that controller electrical) and only Nissan can diagnose it with their software. Have you gotten anywhere with yours?

#39 of 87 1999 Maxima-Power window fuse blowing by coachkd1

Oct 26, 2008 (1:48 pm)

The fuse for the power windows is blowing (also affects seat adjustment power). I have measured a hard ground (0 ohms) on the load side of the fuse block. I disconnected all of the connectors (one at a time) for the seat adjutments and still got the ground.Any hints? How easy/hard is it to access power window motors?

Did you solve the problem?
Try cleaning up up the negative battery ground on the engine block.
Had the same problem, that helped
