Jul 14, 2005 - Owner notification is set to begin August 15th 05. ... I thought I had a bulbburn out, but was able to fix it by making sure the bulb ... I spent about $250.00 a few months ago replacing a headlight bulb! ... I know this is an old post, but my 02altima's passenger headlight keeps burning! it's the 3rd time this year!

It could be the wire just before the headlight plug, or as it is sometimes referred to, the pigtail. I just had one go on my camry after changing the bulb. If you have a multimeter, you can check for voltage at the plug with the headlight switch on. If there is no voltage there while the other lights are all working, this may be your issue. These can be purchased at auto parts stores. Just need to know what type of bulb it is for. It includes the plug with wires and you just need to cut off your old plug and splice in new one with wire
connectors.

Sounds like poor contacts. Is the other side bright?

Need to disconnect ground to battery before replacing light bulb or fuse will blow. Fuse is located in engine compartment next to windshield washer fluid.

i would check the antenna connections

Dear Tajack73: Nissan had a voluntary recall campaign on the 2002,2005,2006 Altima's with the 2.5 litre engines It envolves reprogramming the ECM.
The campaign ID # RD0712 NHTSA #: 07V-527
2005 Altima Vin's 1N4AL11**5C 100003-957025
1N4AL11**5N 400000-934180

The symptom you have described fits the one they have describe in the bulletin. Check with Nissan and see if your car falls within the campaign. Let men know how you do.

Have you taken your Altima to a dealership in a while? There was a recall on the 05 Altima for misalligned headlights...thus resulting in poor lighting quality...this could be the reason as well...

you have to remove the bulbs from inside of the hood in the engine compartment. in some cars you have to remove some "pins' and remove the entire headlight assembly.. You then remove the holder where the lightbulb is located and replace the bulb.
