#2480 of 2489 Re: Dash lights, Indicators, Radiator Fans out [spthomas] by electricdesign Oct 29, 2009 (5:05 pm)
Replying to: spthomas (Oct 29, 2009 10:38 am) The solution could be complicated or simple, but need more information to be able to help. Please state the Year and model of your car, is it 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder? I understand you had a problem with the alternator and it sparking. When you say "We fixed that", does that mean you replaced the alternator with a new one? We must make sure that the alternator problem is resolved. Have you tested the output of the alternator to make sure it is puttting out the correct voltage and amps? How is the battery? You say "but everything else is still dead", is there any electrical device on the car that works? With the engine not running, what electrical items Do work, like headlights, brake lights, or anything? If you have complete electrical failure, or near that, there may be a blown fuseable link OR one of the big fuses under the hood may be blown. Use a 12 volt test light to check for blown fuses. Post anwers to the above and we can continue from there. E.D. Replies to this message: spthomas (Nov 01, 2009 11:28 am) electricdesign (Nov 29, 2009 11:59 am)

Replying to: electricdesign (Oct 29, 2009 5:05 pm) Thanks for the reply. Here's mre info. It's a 1998 Altima, 4-cyl. When the alternator bearing froze then unfroze then the alternator threw sparks, we replaced the Alternator. So it's a new alternator. The dash lights are out, the gauges are out, and the electric windows are out. But the radio does work. The turn signals don't work, but headlights, taillights, and brake lights do work. The car will start, but quickly overheats due to the radiator fans not working. We looked at the fuse box inside the driver side kick panel, and all the fuses look to work. We don't know where to look under the hood for fuses or fusible links, so we haven't looked there.   Steve Replies to this message: electricdesign (Nov 29, 2009 11:59 am)

#2484 of 2489 drivers side window by skinsfan3 Nov 05, 2009 (8:02 am)
I don't believe this is a job for a novice. I would go to a windshield repair shop or auto body shop. It means (usually) removing armrests and the door panel. There is an actuary of some sort and/or motes in some cars. The trouble I used to run into was in prying off the door panels without doing damage.I uppose thi might be something covered by the warranty, however, in these trying times for dealers, it might pay for a dealer to get this repair done in-house without charge. I have found on some of hese types of problems, the person running the dealer's parts department can be a great source of advice. Replies to this message: skinsfan3 (Nov 05, 2009 8:06 am)

#2486 of 2489 2004 altima ses codes by jfbclu Nov 22, 2009 (9:18 am)
The SES light came on a few days ago on our 04 Altima. Codes read 335 crankshaft position sensor and P0725 engine speed input circuit malfunction. I cleared the codes once but came back after a couple of weeks. Car runs fine. Any idea what these codes are telling me a what will it take to correct? Thanks.

Replying to: spthomas (Nov 01, 2009 11:28 am) I am not familiar with the 1998 Altima, just the 2002. It sounds like you have a partial loss of power. Since the fuses in the inside panel fuses are ok, I would look for the problem in the large fuses or fusable links, but I do no know the locations of these items in your car. There is usually a fuse box with larger fuses and relays located under the hood. Fuseable links may be located near the battery, wiring harness or starter & larger wiring. You might find this info by searching the web or puchasing a repair manual. Replacing the fuse or fusable link would probably fix your problem. The original problem goes back to the alternator, the alternator could have been the problem itself, or a major short in the wiring could have blown the fuse or link and overloaded the alternator, causing the alternator to fail. If it gets too deep for you, you may need an electrical specialist to look at it. Good Luck, E.D. in Sunny Florida

#2489 of 2489 2003 Recalls by gsemike Nov 30, 2009 (10:08 am)
I have an 03 2.5S with 53k on it. I called the dealer today and asked about outstanding recalls that haven't been addressed. They told me that I need to bring it in for an ECM reporgram. They didn't know of anything else they said, but I could swear that there was something about the cam position sensor. Was that a recall too? Any others?
