the dash and radio lights come on when i hit the brake pedal, could it be behind the radio? or ? Replies to this message: junebug1701 (Jul 09, 2008 7:37 am) jharrison120 (Jul 15, 2008 3:51 pm) efitzgerald (Jul 10, 2008 3:02 am) steve_ (Jul 10, 2008 7:45 am)

Look at the base of each bulb, you might find that the 2 pads of solder have melted and shorted together. This can cause the voltage to backfeed to other circuits. If so, replace the bulbs.   Good luck! James Replies to this message: jharrison120 (Jul 15, 2008 3:51 pm)

Well villager owners, this is my last entry as Im trading my 98 villager in for a 07Nissan Altima. I wanna thank all who have helped me bandage my villager up these last few years. My 98 Villager which i bought new has been a wonderful van upto the last 2 years. Well, at 304,000 kms i guess its to be expected, to all those still clinging on to theirs, best wishes.

Replying to: laginja (May 30, 2007 7:09 pm) Nissan had issued a service bulletin regarding this. The main cause is the dirt built up around the belt D-ring. Use dental floss to clean up will do. I did this a couple of months ago and it hasn't bothered me since.   Check Nissan's NTB01-005a for more details.
#48 of 69 '02 Nissan Quest 12V Power Outlet by jr714 Jul 28, 2008 (10:01 am)
Hi, I have a 2002 Quest SE with around 50K miles which I have owned, mostly trouble-free for about 3 years. Within the past few months I started using a windshield mounted GPS unit.   After about 1 month, the GPS unit stopped working. I checked and it was the power outlet, which had a burned out fuse. I replaced the fuse with a new one, and that fixed the problem (or so it seemed.)   When I replaced the fuse, I noticed something strange: there was a separate wire connected to that fuse. After replacing the fuse, I attempted to re-connect the wire, but I could not figure out how to do it. The Haynes manual makes no mention of it. All functions in the vehicle seemed to work fine, so left it off and forgot about it. Then a few days later I noticed the auto-dimming rearview mirror with built in compass wasn't functioning, so I figured that was the only function of the extra wire. I can live without that anyway.   THEN my GPS system stopped working again, and this time it was the fuse inside the GPS' car charger! I replaced that, and again everything seemed OK. THEN the GPS failed again, and all fuses are fine. SO - it must have been the GPS unit all along, right? So I sent the GPS unit back to the manufacturer for a replacement.   THEN the other day I plugged my sister's GPS unit, same brand, same model, with my car charger, into my car's power outlet. And then her GPS unit failed! SO I called the manufacturer of the GPS unit to send me a new unit AND a new car charger.   I will say this: At other times in the past, I have felt that the power outlets do not function correctly. There have been times when they just did not work, and times which I'm sure they have damaged things plugged into them. But almost all the time, they seem to work fine. Also, at times in the past, the radio and windshield wipers have suddenly stopped working, but soon after they were fine. My wife swears that just happened last week, but I haven't seen it happen in years. Are we going crazy, or is there some issue with power coming and going on these vans? Could white-flaked battery terminals cause these types of problems? My battery always develops the white flakes very shortly after I clean it.   Has anyone heard of any crazy stories with the Quest's power outlet? Could there be something wrong with the outlet that causes it to damage things? Is there anything in the electrical system I can check to see what may be causing these problems?   Thanks a lot for any help.
#49 of 69 Re: 1999 Nissan Quest power window issues [steve_] by smile100 Jul 29, 2008 (5:47 pm)
Replying to: steve_ (Jun 27, 2007 10:04 am) My 1999 Nissan Quest GXE has this left-side power window switch problem. The switch to control the driver-side window only lets the window down. I tried to dissemble the switch but couldn't. Finally, I am ordering part from http://courtesyparts.com and waiting its arrival.   In the meantime, I tried some tricks to jump the wiring harness to close the driver-side window and it worked. Here are the tricks:   1. Once you have removed the switch from the wiring that goes into the door, orient the wiring harness horizontally so that the black wiring (ground) is in the upper left. Starting at the lower left, count to the right from 1-7. Start again at the top with 8 being the black wire through to 12 (between 10 to 11, there are two empty slots).   2. Front driver window (left front): To open, jump 1 & 9, and 2 & 8. To close, jump 1 & 2, and 8 & 9.   3. Front passenger window (right front): To open, jump 1 & 6, and 7 & 8. To close, jump 1 & 7, and 6 & 8.   4. Door Locks: To unlock, jump 8 & 11. To lock, jump 8 & 12   1 = Positive (orange with black stripe) 8 = Ground (negative - black)   Hope these info will help you guys to diagnose the circuits to identify which part is broken.
