#2278 of 2489 Re: Passenger side view mirror remove/install [dhyde2] by lindseyj6 Jul 16, 2008 (9:54 am)
Replying to: dhyde2 (Feb 16, 2008 8:48 am) Was this info helful? I am thinking of replacing the whole passenger side mirror myself. The auto shop wants way too much for just changing the part. Let me know how easy or hard it was. Thanks. Replies to this message: karpediem (Jul 17, 2008 2:32 pm)

Replying to: lindseyj6 (Jul 16, 2008 9:54 am) If you want to replace the whole mirror, it's very very easy. I just replaced my normal mirrors for the ones with blinkers and defoggers. I have regular dark slate ones if somebody wants to buy them!   Open your door all the way and just pull back on the triangle plastic piece where the mirror attaches ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. It will pop off and you can wiggle it free. Then there are just 3 bolts exposed to unscrew and the whole side mirror comes off. Really simple.

I have an 06 Altima purchased new in Sept 2006. I brought the front tire feathering issue to the Dealer's attention in Feb 2007 and they re-aligned the car under warranty at that time .... 2200 miles. In Sept 2007 the Dealer re-aligned the car again under warranty and rotated the tires. In Dec 2007 the Dealer once again re-aligned the car and rotated the tires.. Well, here I am once again with the same issue only more pronounced since I now has 23K miles on the car. The tires are now making some noise. Has anyone experienced this problem? The tires look like new but the feathering is pronounced. I am very annoyed that I may have to replace these tires so soon. Sounds like the issue is with the tires and not the mechanical aspect of the car. Please advise. Thanks!

Replying to: jft26 (Jul 22, 2008 5:34 am) This might help you understand feathering a bit more:   Various Types of Tire Wear and Their Causes   As you can see, doing an alignment on an already feathered tire is a waste of time.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 22, 2008 9:29 am) Thank you. I figured that it was a waste of time to do the alignments too but that was all the Dealer was offering. I guess I was hoping that the feathering would not progress after the alignments but I guess that was a mistake. Anyway, I will bring the car into the Dealer service once again and see what they say now. Thank you once again. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 22, 2008 10:38 am)

Replying to: jft26 (Jul 22, 2008 9:56 am) Once the tire is feathered, it's toast. There is no saving it. It will be serviceable to a point but it will make noise. The tire got feathered because it was dragged sideways (that's an exaggeration but the general idea). Basically your dealer was wasting his time and yours, that's true. If you can actually easily see the feathering, the tire should be discarded and the problem corrected before installing new tires. Also you can't do a good alignment with feathered tires in the first place.   So the way to go is a) install new tires b) inspect for bushing wear c) align the car.
#2284 of 2489 Nissan altima 05 cruising control not working by mtl2 Jul 22, 2008 (3:55 pm)
Hi , i would like to know if there's a fuse for the cruise control since the set light blink and the manual say that if the set light blinks it mean a malfunction and the car has to be brought to a nissan dealer so i would like to know if there's or not since the dealer asked me 80$ just to check.   thanks Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 22, 2008 5:34 pm) mtl2 (Jul 22, 2008 5:43 pm)
#2285 of 2489 Re: Nissan altima 05 cruising control not working [mtl2] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Jul 22, 2008 (5:34 pm)
Replying to: mtl2 (Jul 22, 2008 3:55 pm) The dealer has to read the trouble code to isolate the problem. It could be the switch, servo, relay, speed sensor, etc.---all are part of the cruise control system.   I doubt if it's a fuse as this diagram doesn't even show one:   http://aycu03.webshots.com/image/20802/2004006796363378696_rs.jpg   So it must be part of another fused circuit. No harm checking all the fuses though.   Ask the dealer to apply the diagnostic charge to the total cost of repair. They might do that. Replies to this message: mtl2 (Jul 22, 2008 5:43 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 22, 2008 5:34 pm) ok thanks , it's because i want to see how much is the cost for the reparations and only the estimation price is 80$ which i find huge so that's why i wanted to if my local garage can find the problem by being it a fuse or something minors.
