most likely you had a leak you can first try the DIY way by going to the store and buying a refill kit w/ a can or 2 of R134a to see if it'll kick on after you add a can... or pay $$$ to a shop to diagnose where it's leaking and give you parts/labor to replace it

Hi , the ultima has a internal fuel pump. it is possible that the pump filter has been blocked. otherwise it can be a loose connection on the management system. first bet would be to check the electrical under the hood especially anything connected to the fuel system, the turn could cause the connection to fail.

Most of the sin visors has a small screw near to the fixed hinge. that is to tighten up the tension to flip it open and closed. another thing to do is tightening up the grip of the clip by adding some insulation tape to the inside. a quick fix

Sounds more like a bearing in the pump going bad. But change the belt first since it needs it anyway. Then you'll know for sure.

Every 3 to 4,000 miles 3 to 4 times a year (on all vehicles)

Does it lunge forward a couple times when stopping? (Acts like a standard that the clutch wasn't pushed in while trying to stop). If so There is a solenoid inside the transmission that may cause this. If not second guess may be that you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Does your engine run rough? Or High idle?

change your indicator relay.

If the fuse blows violently (i.e its pretty black inside the fuse as opposed to just the fuse link being melted) then its a dead short to ground. Follow the hot wire from the switch to the light, someplace its contacting metal and shorting out.

contact nissan as wont be easy as these systems are designed to stop vehicle being stolen , they are very intricate , why do you want to bypass the alarm ?

Does the screen say anything? Is it locked by security settings?

Be aware the A/C belt is more than likely the Serpentine Belt for your Altima. This belt powers multiple functions of the car including the Alternator, Idler, Power Steering, etc. as well as the Air Conditioning Compressor. Attached is an image for what the A/C compressor on your car should look like, as well as a diagram of the belt and pulleys. (Ignore the RED arrows in the diagram) You will know the belt should be replaced if you can see 3 or more visible little cracks/frays within a one-inch segment. Any one crack that penetrates nearly halfway through the belt is also considered high risk. Also when a serpentine belt begins to go bad, people tend to hear a squeeking or squealing noise when they car starts up. I once had a mechanic tell me to keep an eye on my belt, and that it was looking sort of worn but nothing too terribly bad. I decided after i made the drive home for the holidays I would have it replaced. I did not make it more than 15 miles from the shop before it snapped, threw out my alternator which was not cheap to have replaced, and got stranded for over an hour. If you're questioning the condition of your belts, its best to play it safe!

Transmission fluid may need to be changed check level on dip stick

Check engine light on ? What happened before the problem happened?

check the fuse box for dash illumination fuse , did you disconnect battery when changing window switch? if not possible to have blown a fuse

Pull your oil dipstick and look at the level and appearance of what's on the stick. If the oil level is WAY high, and it looks like chocolate milk, that's where your coolant is going. It means either the head gasket is blown, or the cylinder head, or the engine block is cracked.

try pulling fuse #14 I believe it is for central locking sy stem. This fuse panel is in the trunk on the passenger side. Check the cover to see what # fuse it is pull it out for 5 seconds and put back in. Their's a chance u may be able to reactivate the pump and things will start working again..good luck

Sounds like a problem with your ignition lock cylinder. Have you tried more then 1 key?
