GPS Add on to Aux Jack on DVD Entertainment system

Sat, 10 May 2008 11:13:42 -0400

I didn't get the navigation added to my 2008 Quest SL. I did get the dvd player.

Is there an add-on out there that will "upgrade" my screen to be able to read the navigation map from a gps?

Antenna

Fri, 09 May 2008 11:09:02 -0400

AM radio reception on my 2004 Quest sucks. If I'm stopped in the right place and the car pointing in the right direction I can get great reception. Anything other than that the signal fades in and out and is very frustrating. Is there an auxiliary antenna or antenna booster available to address this problem? Thanks.

my 1st post-just bought a 98 quest with some issues-may i ask for some help?

Thu, 08 May 2008 13:01:04 -0400

Hi, I've tried reading on most threads in this forum.. most have answered my queries while some may have confused me more.

Here's the situation. Just bought a 98 quest, 116000miles, but has been sparingly used if not at all in the last year. Its running well except for some issues:

1. timing belt hasn't been replaced
2. CEL is on (checked it with a universal OBDII reader at advanceauto showing P0325, and P1041)
3. coolant has sludge
4. whining/humming noise in the middle of the car

I work on my cars (mostly mechanical) but when it comes to sensors, I'm not so confident. The help I need is more towards solving the CEL light. I am wondering if P0325 is really the knock sensor(since some threads say its the O2 sensor) and if so, would it be related to not having used the car so long and also the timing belt needs rplacement? If its the knock sensor, I read that it shoudn't turn the CEL light on. So what do I do?

Fog light install instructions

Tue, 06 May 2008 22:13:37 -0400

Can anyone give some insight into where to get a set of fog lights for a 2004 SL that will fit into the existing fog light housings? Is there a factory kit that includes a switch that integrates into the dash? Is the install difficult? Instructions with the kit? Info from anyone who has done this would be great.....

tv/vcr not working

Sat, 03 May 2008 03:45:46 -0400

so I just bought a 1999 quest... the tv/vcr has no power Im thinking its a fuse but can't locate the one that controls them.. any one know where to look? plus the rear vent windows don't open maybe they use the same line? the box under the hood has a fuse for power windows but it looks fine plus the drivers windows work.. besides the display on the radio I can't find any thing else that does not work.. I am about ready to pull the tv/vcr out so I can just walk threw to the back but they are kind of cool in a way, sort of retro..

1997 Quest EGR failure

My 1997 Quest check engine light went on. The scan code indicates it is EGR error. Has anyone experienced with this problem?

Need replacement molding; anyone know where to find it?

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:58:29 -0400

My wife tore off the piece of molding that goes above the rear license plate (see picture at http://picasaweb.google.com/gbosslet/Chetak/photo#5194116016595665762) on our 2004 Quest. It appears as though if I can get ahold of the part, I can replace it pretty easily. Anyone know where I can get the part number or order it online?

Front Windshield Wipers

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 18:06:48 -0400

Problem for over a year now - wipers will turn on, but no intermittant sweep, either on (slow or fast) or off...at other times, you have to push in the end to get the pump going for the wipers to start...Nissan dealer has replaced the whole arm switch (first try) and the motor *second try), but still have the problem - I asked if there was a relay and was told no - has anyone else had this problem with a 1994 Quest ? Thanks in advance

ALERT - ECM Malfunction due to Premature Corrosion

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:58:47 -0400

While driving, van started loosing power, brought it to my mechanic, he found the ECM was not sending power to the fuel injector. He called Nissan who said the ECM's have started corroding and most likely a hole in it; the location of the ECM on the 2004's has caused rusting problems, in newer models they have repositioned it to elimate the problem. I towed the van to Nissan, they said ECM is now working but yes is rusted and should be replaced, and I'm at 135,000KMs no longer under warranty, and part ($1200)is on a 3 week back order, so had to go get the van and park in my driveway until the part arrives. QUESTION - if Nissan are aware that the ECM's are rusting out prematurely due to bad part placement, why keep it a secret. I just bought out the lease last year, had I known of this problem I would have had the ECM replaced under warranty or not bought the van.

Rear power tailgate- works when it wants to

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:37:34 -0400

He all,

2005 Quest S. 60k miles.

The power tailgate works when it wants to. It will go for a month where it works as it should, then gives us trouble for a while, then works, etc...

Anyone had similar issues?

I was at the dealer today dealing with a bad catalytic converter that threw the Check Engine light and I asked if they have had any/many problems with the Quest and the tailgate. Of course they said no.

Thanks, Matt

05 Quest S Catalyitic Converter failure

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:15:14 -0400

Hi All,

New to the forums but not the Quest. 05 Quest S, cat converter has thrown the service engine soon light. Anyone had this happen so early at 60k miles? Luckily it is covered under the 8/80 warranty, about $1000.00

How about power tailgate that works when it wants to?

Thanks, Matt

04-07 quest xm install PDF

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 13:58:52 -0400

I have bought the xm install kit for the 2004 quest.

It did not come with the installation instructions. Could someone send me the PDF file that contains the Install instructions or a link to where I can download them?

Thanks in advance,

what are the factory radio presets?

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:46:25 -0400

so i changed the timing belt on my 99 quest. now the radio stations i preset have been erased.

in most modern cars, this wouldn't be a problem, but since my radio display doesn't work (stop laughing), i have to do this blindly.

so, i was wondering if anyone knows that the default station presets are? if i know that, it might make my life a little easier.

i've googled but i couldn't find anything.

thanks!

Fuel gauge will not show more than half

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:07:47 -0400

I Have a 2004 Quest and just replaced the battery the other day. Now the Fuel gauge will not show more than 1/2 a tank. At first it was showing completely empty, then moved up to 1/4. I knew there was more than that, so I filled it up. After I filled the tank the gauge still only shows half.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:51:22 -0400
