Nissan Maxima Electrical Issues

help please

Written by: baxter111 on May 02, 2008 06:27 PM

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!!! Read More...

"If you don' (sic) think that car has some torque steer issues then I would respectfully suggest that you may not know what it is." Captain, to paraphrase Forrest Gump: I may not be an intelligent man, but I do know what torque steer is. Which is why, if you re-read my original post, I mentioned my wife's CR-V specifically to provide a comparative context for my evaluation ... Read More...

Sir, as chance would have it, I own the 190-horsepower 1992 Nissan Maxima well, then, you have a great car, I got almost 300k on mine before the tranny cratered at which point the $3500.00 to fix the tranny was more than the car was worth. The tranny failure BTW probably due to my own neglect. However, if you don' think that car has some torque steer issues then I would ... Read More...

Two points, Captain: 1) After reading your post #5873 that basically blames the current Maxima's torque steer on every factor except solar flares, I was about to point out what you'd missed -- until you basically contradicted the implications of your post #5873 in post #5875, by acknowledging that the current Altima owes some of its torque steer reduction to ...

Same shop wants me to rent a wire from ... Read More...

Nissan Maxima

no title

The older Altimas were more of a match for the pre-1992 compact size Camry. The Cressida and Maxima were rivals until the Cressida was dropped. Then there was overlap with Camry V6, Avalon, and Maxima pricing. The current Altima was almost going to be called the Maxima, but Nissan reconsidered, phew! Read More...

You both are singing a song that Nissan should have expected after its ill-advised decision to move the Maxima "upscale." This car has regrettably morphed from a powerful, tossable and affordable family sports sedan that was an easy choice for an enthusiast on a budget into a rather ungainly and low-rent entry-luxo wannabe. It is not even close to a bang-for-the-buck ... Read More...

Find out which 1992 maxima your friend has. From 1992 through 1994 Nissan offered two different engines in the maxima. The GXE model (160 HP) uses a timing belt which needs changing every 60k miles. The SE model had a different engine (190 HP) which uses a chain. Goodluck Read More...
