Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any electrical flaws with the Nissan Maxima models dating from'92-'94. For some reason, when I shut the car off the headlight(s) or highbeam(s) turn on and kill the battery (I've gone through 4 batteries already! - Thank God for warranties!). This car runs like a beast so I want to fix the problem and keep it alive b/c it still has A LOT of juice left in the tank. What should I do???

ps. I've put a brand new alternator in recently and it still has the same problems


thanks

 

have you check all the grounds?

 

yes. those production years of maximas are well known for some electrical problems. however, it isn't because of any wiring or mechanical issues. it is because the nissan factory's necromancers assembled the car using haunted parts. fortunately for you, your maxima is only in the early stages of haunting as it only craves basic electrical energy for sustenance. later on it would begin to crave human flesh to feed its unholy hunger and virgin soul to sacrifice to its master, the old god of the unspeakable and unimaginable horror - cthulu - king of the void and eternal sorrow.

the remedy most automotive shamans recommend for electrical poltergeists is to dust the car in purified salt, run a gallon of holy water through the gas tank, and re-tighten every bolt on the car using a socket that's been enchanted with runes of dispellment.

i hope that helped.

 

I lost..

 

so when you turn the car off the headlights come on? It is not un common for these cars to have electrical problems, often times the connectors that nissan used get corroded and cause all types of problems. Have you thought about taking out your headlight fuse/relay so you don't kill batteries until you figure out the problem? You may want to try posting on maxima.org

 

No hope for that beast. It must be purged in ritual fire within the center of a cornfield. Please take the spawn of Satan to Powhatan, Culpeper, or anywhere in the western VA region, douse the vehicle in gasoline blessed by a Hari Krishna, dance naked around the car for 1 hour, arrange Catholic candles within the cabin, seat yourself in the dead center, and light all candles while chanting "Pie Iesu Domine... Dona Eis Requiem". If the sacrificial flame does not burn fast enough, sing "Battle Hymn of the Republic" repeatedly while adding more sacrificial gasoline inside the vehicle.

Repeat, as needed, to produce the desired effect.
