Battery and alternator have been replaced and check out fine.
Any ideas?
My problem is that i got this i30t but in the cold weather it takes 10 min for me to warm it up. When i do the car will sometimes will shut down so i need to rev it up from time to time. If i dont do this and just drive off the car when stopping will start shaking and the rpm arrow will bounce around the 0. So every time i stop i need to put on park and rev it up. :confuse:
If any more info need i will check for it.
Thank you (if you will help me)
Any suggestions besides getting rid of it.
Thanks! :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
Any ideas
Exactly where is the fuse for the brake light switch and where is the brake light switch itself? Mr. Shiftright, will you please weigh in?
So far the speedometer restarts after anywhere from a few minutes to 20-30 minutes. The tack still works -- the speed and odometer stops and restarts.
Stopping and restarting the engine doesn't automatically fix the issue.
Any thoughts on what could be going on?
Thanks
Any updates to your problem? Any luck figuring out exactly what's wrong?
Is it hard to replace it myself?
If it is how much would it cost to repair it (average price)?
Any help will be welcomed
compressor. there is two bolts holding it. first you have to disconnect the battery then take off the drive belts by loosening the tensioner on that car it is a screw type. after the belts are removed you proceed to remove the generator mounting bolts once those are removed you disconnect the wires attached to the generator. now the generator is removed installation is reverse. cost depends on your location rebuilt cost here in Chicago $70 at both auto zone and Murray's auto parts
I have a 1999, I30T with approx. 155K miles. About 3 weeks ago the car died on me while driving. Jumped it once, but that got me only a few miles. If i tried to start it, it would just click. I took it to the mechanic just this week and he told me the problem was a bad alternator. Normally, this would be an acceptable problem except this will now be the 4th alternator being installed my car.
1) 2008/2009 original alternator went bad and 2nd alternator (first replacement) went in. (installed by an independent mechanic)
2) May/June 2010 2nd alternator goes bad during a long trip. Fortunately, I got it towed to an infiniti dealership. 3rd alternator is installed.
3) July 2010 - 3rd alternator goes bad. Independant mechanic says alternator is bad. Says the alternator was not a nissan/infiniti part. The good news is that I called the infiniti dealership from before and they said that if i bring the defective alternator in they will give me a refund.
However, I am not convinced that the alternator is my only problem. I will rule out the battery because we have had it tested every time we had an alternator problem. It has always been good. The time I had it towed to the infiniti dealership they also told me that I had oxygen sensors that needed to be replaced. They said it was not urgent and that the car would still run.
After reading many posts it seems like nissans/infinitis are prone to electrical issues, yet none of the mechanics have received codes for bad ignition coils or switches, bad starters, or anything else.
WHAT TO DO???
My question is this: is it better to reboot the outer CV joints or replace the axles altogether? According to Alldata, the labor times will be about the same either way, seeing as the axles have to be taken off the car in order to reboot them. I've spoken to some folks in an automotive IRC chat that I frequent and they have said that as long as there isn't any clicking noise coming from the outer joints, rebooting them should be fine (so long as direct replacement boots are used, not generic uni-boots); this is also the route that my dad is leaning towards, as money is pretty tight. The shop that we have talked to, on the other hand, really seems to want to replace the axles altogether, seeing as there is other, more pressing work that needs to be done on the front end.
This is the only vehicle our family has available to us right now, and I am really clueless as to which is the better course of action.
My local tire shop replaced both front axles on my I30 this year for around $350; the Infiniti dealership wanted $600 for fresh boots.
Thanx.
