Hello,

Replacing Your headlight bulb seem to be easy when You look at it, but quite technical. But If You get the proper guide, I think fixing this will not be difficult for You. You will be needing these instruments to fix this(Flathead screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, 3/8 inch drive ratchet, 3/8 inch drive 10 mm socket, Replacement bulb(s), Shop rags or towel), then You carefully follow the steps below to fix this:

1. Turn the steering wheel all the way in toward the engine on the side you are changing the light bulb in. For the driver's side bulb replacement, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. For the passenger side bulb replacement, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the off position and remove the keys. Make sure the light switch is in the off position.
3. Remove the retaining clips and screws from the front of the wheel well area, including the bottom splash shield valance underneath the front of the Maxima. The valance is attached to the wheel well and can be left intact. Use the Phillips head screwdriver for the screws and the flathead screwdriver to pop up the center post of the clips and then pry the clips out. Remove enough of the clips to gain access into the front fender cavity.
4. Locate and turn the outer low-beam headlight cover counterclockwise to remove it. This will reveal the bulb and socket.
5. Turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove it from the headlight assembly.
6. Release the retaining pin (if applicable for theft deterrent package).
7. Remove the wire harness plug from the bulb socket and then remove the bulb.
8. Insert the new bulb into the socket without touching the glass of the bulb. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.

But if it is the high beams bulb You want to replace, then please follow the steps below, It is the same instruments as before You will be needing to do this job.

1. Release the hood latch if you're replacing the high beam bulb only. Then lift the hood. Locate the two 10 millimeter bolts at the top of the headlight assembly and remove them with the ratchet and the socket.
   
2. Locate the four fascia retaining pins and remove them using the flathead screwdriver. This will allow flexible movement of the fascia to remove the headlight assembly.
3. Place a shop rag or towel between the tight gap of the fascia and the bottom of the headlight assembly to prevent scratching the fascia.
4. Maneuver the headlight assembly forward away from the front of the Maxima. There is a guide pin still retaining the assembly in place so apply equal parts of determination and gentleness to remove the assembly without scratching the lens or the fascia.
5. Remove the headlight assembly far enough to get your hand behind it and remove the seal from the back of the high-beam headlight. Turn the seal counterclockwise to remove.
6. Turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove from the assembly.
7. Release the retaining pin (if applicable).
8. Unplug the wire harness from the light bulb and remove the light bulb.
9. Plug the new replacement bulb into the wire harness without touching the glass of the bulb.
10. Reinstall by reversing the procedure.

clean the snow off the widows completely. they also may have frozen to the window. a very common problem. try lifting up on the wipers,each one to see if they will come on.if this does'nt help,look for a blown wiper fuse. hope this helps and never pour warm or hot water on your window to remove snow or ice!thank you for choosing fixya.com

the engine is atached to the transmission, the transmission should have it on the side.. if you dont see one...some transmissions dont have one.. I do not know about that particular car..
but you can get a manual at transmisssiondiscounts. com

It does sound like you have gearing trouble in your speedo and that estimate sounds about right. If you're not too concerned with the accuracy of the miles shown on the odometer you may be able to buy a speedo from a junk yard and install it your self or have it installed. If you do the job yourself I recommend getting a manual ( chilton's, motor) to aid you in the specific step by step procedure as these newer cars have seemingly senseless design for securing dashboard components and help you to not break any expensive or hard to find parts.

could be the maf or tps sensor,have them checked.









TIM.........

CANT FIX AT HOME,DEALERSHIP HAS TO FIX.ABS AND TCS SYSTEM HAS TO BE CHECKED WITH SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT.

Bryan_you44,
I too had an issue with the dash controls, cruise ctrl, no speedometer. It happened all of a sudden on way back from Chicago. I think you may have the same issue. I put some change on the console in front of the display, which pretty much screams "PLACE STUFF HERE". Guess what, DON"T DO THAT!!!!. I had a dime lose it's way into the back of the display and shorted the whole Freakin thing out. $650 to repair.

please explain to me how to replace a cylinder without removing the engine block.
I can see mybe a spark plug, spark plug wire, or a coil pack
but removing a cylinder or even a piston, impossiable

your machanic is an idiot

to solve your problem of runing rough
have someone with enough commen sense to do a full tune-up and full filter change

Push the Maint button down and hold it for a few seconds. This should reset it and you should be able to use the joystick to move the mileage value to when you want to have it alert you again. I think I had to look this one up in the manual.

Check fuses, also if you can or have some one help you check for freon pressure, that will also disable the a/c compr. Go to a small indepened repair shop they will do this check for much less.

check for busted fuse.

sounds like your starter motor got wet,poss answer is take it for a long drive,say 20 mls,or let it tick over for a couple of hours or if a nice sunny day lift the hood and leave it all day..if it dont work after that its gonna cost....

your shock absorber may be damaged
