A lengthy Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) dealing with this issue was published by Nissan in 2006. The TSB outlines a repair procedure for the fuel pump that resolves a known issue with fuel leaking back into the tank instead of...
It sounds to me like the latching mechanism isn't doing its job properly, probably requiring replacement. I would have a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, verify the issue and replace the latch if necessary.
Hello, thank you for writing in. The vehicle's battery will likely be dead. Even if the vehicle has less electronic components sucking battery power, there are some. Even when the vehicle is off and sits, the clock can drain the...
This can be caused by a number of things such as low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a failing coolant fan switch. As you may know the coolant fan switch helps to maintain the proper coolant temperature by turning...
Hi there. If you tested the fuel pump and noticed that it was not "humming" that's either an indication of a fuel pump electrical relay (as you suggested) or a fuse that is broken. It could also indicate that the...
It is not clear if the stalling and the noise are connected. That is, you could have two separate issues. If the car makes noise when you select "drive", that suggests a torque converter or transmission issue. Check the fluid...
Sometimes after an ABS event one of the sensors may lose signal if it way damaged during the event. This will turn on the lights for the brake and ABS systems. You will need to have the system tested to...
The recommended diagnostic is a non-working wiper inspection. The mechanic would determine if power is reaching the wiper motor when the steering column mounted switch is in the "on" position. If there is power to the motor, and yet no...
The water spill onto or inside the traction control button may very well have shorted the electrical components inside the button switch. This may need to be taken apart and either replaced or cleaned out to fix. Your check...
Hi there. On two barrow carburetors, there are two ways that they open. The most common way is through engine vacuum. When the vacuum drops to near zero, the secondary throttle valve will open and operate the secondary jets. Other...
Hi there. You might want to read this article for starters. Since this is an aftermarket alarm system, you'll need to find the fuse that the system is installed and remove that for starters. Unfortunately, this is not a service...
Hello. From what you describe, it would appear that your vehicle may be experiencing issues with the hazard button. If the button is buzzing and causing the lights to malfunction that may be an indicator that it is sticking, or...
This is typically normal as the vehicle's computer goes through a series of systems checks when you turn the ignition to the on position. Once the computer is done performing these checks, the check engine light will turn off, signaling...
Input from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is used by the transmission control module (TCM) to calculate shift points, torque converter operation and other transmission functions. Code P0720 stands for Vehicle Speed Sensor circuit malfunction. Typically, this code indicates a...
Good question. The other day I had the same issue. I replaced the brake light switch and still no brake lights. The issue I came across was that it had to be adjusted a little. If you take the brake...
It sounds like you are having an electrical problem that is affecting several systems. These can be tricky to diagnose. Sometimes they can be tied together and fixed with a single repair or several different repairs may need to be...
Hi. I am assuming you are talking about the a/c blower motor. I would say you have a bad blower motor resistor mounted on the blower case which would allow it to only work on high. But now, since the...
Engine misfires can be caused by many different problems and are generally caused by either a spark or fuel issue or in some cases, a combination of both. Spark related problems generally will result from things like ignition coils, crankshaft...
Hi there. Are there any codes stored in the ECM? You would need to start diagnosing in the direction that the codes lead. Does the check engine light work? Is there spark? Does the engine crank? Is the airflow meter...
This kind of problem sounds like a loose or bad electrical connection to the dash cluster and radio. I would recommend starting and running the engine and go to wire harnesses you can get to under dash and engine compartment...
Hi there. The fuel is warm when the level is low and when the fuel tank is filled up the fuel tends to get cooler than it was before. In general, the fuel is low dense when it is warm...
Hello. Most of the time this occurs when the actuator in the transfer case fails. If the actuator was not when you went through the puddle then that could cause it to fail from the sudden change of temperature. This...
Hello - the speedometer is driven by a sensor on the transmission. Perhaps this problem is because the sensor was not re-connected after the swap? If the transmission was also swapped, it is possible the sensor on the donor transmission...
Hello, and thank you for writing in. The check engine light and diagnostic code that sets the warning light off pertain to the ECM. This is a computer in the vehicle that processes inputs from a variety of sensor to...
