Check the connectors in the rear area. They are known for getting hot and melting causing a bad connection. Check the radio ground, and the grounds at the rear of the car. You will have to remove a few panels.Originally Posted by chulo_allen
This will require hands on repairs.

I had a drunken incident with a dumpster. how much will it cost to get a decent paint job and a ding repair in the passenger rear door?
How long is a piece of string?
What sort of car?
Time to get quotes!
My wifes ute was hit, $2k damage, yet looked worse.
My ute backed into a post, $1300 for a scratch.
Cant win.
leave it to the damn aussies. its a deep scratch, might be cheaper to get a new door panel. I still have to paint the entire car to match it.
It's always bend-over and spread 'em time with panel work.
Anyone here have a 300ZX with the stock VG30DETT (Twin Turbo) motor?
Curious about any strange idling issues, or ECU problems when running relatively-low boost (7-8psi-ish).
(Might do a swap into an S13 Silvia)
Boost will not effect idle but you could run a little rich during lag.
My sister's 2005 Altima SE-R 5sp Automatic had some transmission issues and I think some would be interested. The transmission would intermittently stay in 5th gear, the PCM would record a U1000 code for loss of CAN communications with a module. The shift indicator would either go blank or show only 5th gear in manual mode. The trans would make some loud whining noises and the solenoids would randomly engage. The problem was the TCM engage relay. It was only allowing 7vdc across the contacts. It is mounted right next to the TCM which is behind the glove box to the right of the PCM. The TCM grounds this relay after it receives batt and ign power. This is the power relay for the solenoid drivers in the TCM. New relay fixed the problems.
^^^^ Earths, power feeds and bad connectors have made me lots of money over the years.
Heard that, as soon as she described to me on the phone I knew it was a power or ground issue. First she called and said my trans is shifting funny like a bad miss in a way. then she called and said she hears a buzzing under the dash(relay). Then she called with buzzing coming from the tranny.
At least she called it in before it became more serious. I would hate to be paying out the dollars for a rebuild on that one!
Yeah, it would not have been long before damage occurred. There may be damage to the tranny not showing up yet. Pressures were being directed to all the wrong places in transmission. I am surprised the TCM did not smoke with such low voltage across the drivers, damn good protection circuit in the TCM. I would be interested in knowing what type drivers are used for the solenoids, they are better than GM's that's for sure.
Usually the drivers used will take much more current than they have to. Undervoltage is unlikely to hurt the electronics. Assuming Altima is Toyota, Nippon Denso electronics are very good, like most Ford electronics. GM and Chrysler = puke.
