And if you own one of these cars with faulty dimming headlamps, you can explore your options with the law firm representing others in the same boat. Before you buy a used Altima, check to see if the headlight unit has been replaced. if the car starts then you have a bad starter and need to replace it. One way to find out for sure is if you can get at the starter, tap it with a hammer and then try starting or have someone try to start the car while you are tapping on the starter. by the sounds of what you are saying, you have a bad starter. But there may be problems with the headlight assembly that can be potentially dangerous. SOURCE: 2000 Nissan Maxima will not HI there. Nissan Altima owners really love their sedans. District Court in Tennessee and is titled Suarez et al., vs.
Spragens Law PLC, Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith LLP is the firm representing the Altima owners. If you have a Nissan Altima within the indicated model years and are experiencing issues with your headlight assembly, you can join the suit.
They also claim it’s impossible to remove the haze or film that ends up damaging the reflector cup. The assemblies require complete replacement to avoid complications and failing unit seals. I will probably take it in anyway but I thought I'd see if anyone had any thoughts first.There are three claimants who are part of the lawsuit suggesting a basic replacement of the headlight bulb isn’t going to remedy the dimming. What is the normal amount of fluctuation (how many times can I use that word in one post?) in voltage during normal driving? Without music playing but with power going to head unit to monitor voltage. The only thing I have left to try is disconnecting the main 0 awg power line to the audio system in the trunk and driving like that for a while. It _seems_ to happen after I've been driving a while. (Can nissan run more in-depth tests?) Again, the voltage fluctuations occur even when radio is muted and no music playing. Alternator and battery tested good at autozone. I checked all my connections under the hood and they are tight and fuses look good. I don't remember if that is normal or not but of course I'm noticing it now. Turning on the head lights or A/C or the head unit (which in turn turns the amps on) will cause the dome lights to dim. Then the dome lights started flickering and the voltage fluctuating again. I took it in to Nissan and I had them put the stock alternator back in thinking it was me that screwed things up.Įverything was fine for a while. Finally one day driving home I had my radio MUTED and the voltage was jumping between 11 and 14 volts. Then I noticed the voltage started to flucuate and my subwoofer would make the lights dim and the cruise control to stutter. I turned the car off and connected the harness and everything seemed ok for while (weeks/months). I didn't realize it until I let it run a little while. I installed it myself and when I first started the car I realized I forgot to connect the wiring harness that connects to the top of the alternator. It's a direct replacement from Ohio Generators. It seemed to start when I bought a 200A high output alternator. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
My head unit has a voltage reading on it. I have an audio system: two 600 watt amps and one 750 watt amp.
#Www.nissan altama dashlights dimming and then bright upgrade
I did the "big 3" upgrade years ago: 0 awg alternator negative to ground, 0 awg alternator positive to battery, 0 awg battery to ground. I took it to AutoZone and the battery (optima yellow top) and alternator (stock) tested fine.
