Backup sensor not turning on? And driver side window won't stay up?

[RyanY]

Hello there,

Just picked up a 2006 Quest S Special Edition today. We like it alot.

One item I am having trouble with is the backup sensor. The button has the off light on and it will not turn off (meaning it is in "off" full time). Anyone have suggestions?

Also, when you roll the driver's side window all the way up it then immediately opens by 1/4. The only way to get it to stay up is to hold the switch in the up position for 5 - 10 seconds after the window is all the way up.

Im not quite sure about the backup sensor, but the problem with the window sounds like a stretched regulator ribbon. Replace the window reg and you shouldnt have a problem after that.

Actually, I would have the window re-timed before you go replacing parts. This typically happens if somebody replaces the battery with the window not completely closed or if the vehicle is jumped off with the window not completely closed.

On the switch thing, check the manual. You may have to hold the button down for some length of time before it turns off that way you don't accidentally shut it off.

If the "holding of the switch" doesn't work you may either have a faulty relay or the switch itself is damaged.

Anyone got a wiring schematic for this fellow Quest owner?

for the window problem, I agree w/ CPS, have it re-timed first before replacing the motor.

for the backup sensor, if there's no beep sound at all when on reverse w/ an obstruction at the back, you may have a bad backup sensor tiny speaker, located at the dash.

GUYS! I apparently did not have my email notification turned on, and I never knew there were any replies to my thread. You guys rock.

I am going to investigate the above solutions.

In other news, we are actually considering selling this van. We have had vibration issues at highway speeds since we first bought it. Originally thought to be the typical "tires out of balance" we bought the car anyways as we got a good price.

After two sets of tires and even taking it to a tire shop that does high speed on car balancing, we have yet to solve the problem. One guy at this shop talked to a Nissan mechanic he knows and this individual said it may be bad motor mounts. Our car has 80K miles on it and he said they can go that early. The vibration does not start until you hit about 75 MPH. Thus, no big deal for daily driving for my wife, but on road trips.... I like to have a smooth ride. Actually the primary reason we own such a car (versus an SUV).

Any general ideas?

Once again, thanks much. Email notification is now on. You guys rock.

The response issue is that I actually have two user accounts. Wow, that is some impressive stupidity.

The window problem is an easy fix. Here is the steps for a Maxima, should be similar for the Quest.
