  New to the MAXIMA!!!forum........window question?


Hi all, My mom finally crossed over and bought a nissan!. I have a 99Q45 and a 97qx4. My mom recently purchased a 03 maxima (got a great deal by the way) and I don't have any idea why when she uses the automatic roll-up feature on the master window switch the windows go all the way up then roll back down about four inches. I figure this is some sort of factory option but I have had no luck with researching a reprogramming instruction. do any of you guys have any insight?

WELCOME TO NICO!!! The greatest Nissan forum on earth!!!

Not sure, but it sounds like the window is not tripping the switch to shut off at the top of roll up. The auto up switch has a sensor attached so that if your kid puts his hand in there it won't get crushed, or if the window is trying to roll up too far, it will trigger the "save kids hand" mode. Look at your owners manual, that's where I remember this info from.

If that car were a person, I'm pretty sure it would be giving head in a truck stop restroom.

Had the same thing happen on my 01 maxima.

With the help of the technical service manual on CD produced by Nissan on the 2002 and 2003 Maxima I now have located the quick fix for a problem I have had since purchasing my used 2002 SE a few months ago. That is the drivers door window one-touch up function for the window was not working properly. The window would go up to the top and then retreat about 5 inches back down again. This problem is due to the limit switch needing to be reset which at first I thought would be a considerable job (to take off the door panel etc.) but ended up being literally a 2 minute job as the door panel can remain in place. My dealer wanted $85 CDN for the switch reset which I knew was a rip off before I found the fix procedure myself. I know several '02 and '03 Maxima owners have had this same problem as I saw earlier threads referencing it but no-one then appeared to know the fix. Alhough this procedure is simple once you do it, my description seems long as I wanted to be a descriptive as possible since I can't provide pictures. So here it is:

Step 1: Pry the plastic cap up off the bottom centre of the door pull handle and remove the single philips screw.

Step 2: Remove the whole switch panel (in which the door pull handle sits) by prying it up from the back end either with a flat edged screwdriver or table knife (under cloth) or by hand which is what I did. It is just clipped in so should come out relatively easily sliding it up at the back and then pulling it back.

You can now see the inside of the door from where the switch finishing plate sat. You can leave the wiring all attached and simply hang the switch and handle plastic assembly to one side so you can see the inside of the door.

Look inside towards the front bottom of the door behind the plastic vapour barrier you will see a small black switch. It almost looks like a black pan screw head. This is the reset switch but there is a sequence to now doing the actual reset procedure. The switch doesn't really feel like one when you press it through the plastic liner which incidentally you don't need to cut (at least I didn't have to). It is a switch that is only on when you are pressing it otherwise when released it is off.

STEP 3: Make sure the window is closed (up) completely. Turn the ignition on so the windows are receiving power.

a) Press the reset switch (and keep it pressed in) and open (down) the window completely (manually -NOT with AUTO ONE TOUCH DOWN FUNCTION).
b) Release the reset switch. Then close the window completely (manually only - NOT AUTO UP).
c) The limit switch is now reset. Easy!!!

This procedure worked for me straight away as I hope it will for you should you have this annoying problem. The Nissan manual does caution you not to use the one touch UP-DOWN function during this procedure so be warned.

What a HUGE asset this post was. I had the same problem just a month ago on my A33 I35 and took to the dealer as it was still under warranty. They claimed they put some "lube" on the window it "fixed" it. Guess what.... as soon as I left same problem still. I'm beginning to think even buying an extended warranty might be a ripoff. With 3,000 miles to go for warranty, what do you think I should do????

Very nice. I have this problem with the passenger side window. At first, it only happened once in a while, now it is constant and I use the manual up function. My last maintenance with Nissan I asked them to look at it and they "could not reproduce the problem" and stated if it still happened then the fix would be a $450 window motor

I should have know it couldn't be that easy... My car is such a lemon.

Any other ways to correct this window thing? Is there a trick to the steps that Im missing?

I found a little black thing that looked/felt like a button, but it didn't do anything... Would anyone happen to have a picture of the reset button, or could anyone take a pict for me so I know Im pushing on the right thing?
