1996 Quest Odometer works intermittently

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 17:56:17 -0400

The odometer in my 96 Quest works only intermittently. The speedometer works fine, but the odometer only turns a mile or two in ten or twenty miles. Not regularly, like just turning too slow. It doesn't work, then it works for a short period, then quits again. I have a Haynes manual, but I can't find anything about the odometer. It mentions the speed sensor, but I believe that part is okay since the speedometer works. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any suggestions? Thanks. Doug

rear door problems

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:43:14 -0400

I have a 1999 Nissan Quest and love it but I have 2 problems.First my stereo display does not work. I checked the fuses and pulled out the radio but didn't notice anything unusual. I unplugged the radio and that didn't work.Do I need to replace it?Next the rear door "sticks".I unlock it and have to push on the door a couple of times really hard before it will open. I moved the latches around on the body of the van but no luck. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Front blower motor stop working

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:20:45 -0400

I have a 1996 Quest. I replaced the elec. fan and everything was fine. A few minutes later when I went to turn the a/c on the front blower wasn't working. I direct wired the blower and it worked fine. I'm guessing that it is the resistor. I have the semi-auto control, not the manual control, and I've been hearing prices of over $100.00 for the resistor from the dealer. So far I haven't been able to find one at a junk yard. Can anyone help?

97 Quest Vehicle Speed Sensor

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:25:54 -0400

I bought a new speed sensor for my 97 Quest and tried to get the old one out. The old one will not come out with gentle tapping, pliers, etc. I don't want to get too aggressive and crack the tranny housing. Other than soaking it with WD-40 for a few days, is there anything else I should try, or anything else I should be aware of?

98 QUEST AC/HEATER BLOWER FUSE LOCATION?

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:43:46 -0400

My blower quit blowing. It was working and next time I tried to turn it on it didn't work. Rear blower does work but not the front.

Where is the fuse or the relay that powers the front blower is my question?

Thanks
Zane

is it just me or do we really have to pay to get the full details of the TSB?

Fri, 16 May 2008 14:20:00 -0400

sorry, might be a silly question. when i click on the quest TSB it only gives me a list of defects/recalls and its summary. how do i get to read the details of it? when i click submit, it asks me to agree to pay? 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?

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

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

Rear A/C blower fan relay location??

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:18:34 -0400

1998 Quest. Rear A/C blower became intermittent when trying to turn on (sometimes would come on, others not), finally, won't come on at all. Have taken the rear fan out and it checks good. I found a vertical row of relays, about 7 of them, next to the fuse panel in front of the driver's left knee. According to my 1996 manual, there were four relays there and the rear blower relay was the second or third down (not important).

I need to know if the '98 rear fan relay is in this row and which one?? Also, is there still a relay on the printed circuit board of the dash control unit? (as shown with the defective solder joint here: http://home.earthlink.net/~vqfaq/ )

keyless entry touchpad problem

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:07:59 -0400

My 93 has recently begun to lock all the doors whenever it wants. Usually it's whenever the passenger door closes but not always. As a precaution, I've tried to enter a new code into the keypad following the instructions in the manual. I have the original code, but I can't get it to work. Am I missing something? I bought it used so I don't know if the code was ever reset or not.

1997 Nissan Quest light problems

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:58:28 -0500

Hello !
I´m from Bavaria Germany and owner of a Canada imported ´97 Quest.
My car has a problem with the headlight and high beam. Always when I put the switch to headlight or push the lever to high beam, only the left light is burning and the right didn´t and the high beam indicator light is shining all the time.
I checked the right lamp of course and it is ok.
The car also has a daytime running light and this shines mostly on both sites, if it is not shining then the high beam indicator light shines weak.
I think the problem is a relay which has a bad contact; because in the first time the lights sometime works after a short time, but now the right side is "dead".
