Can you tell me what this is?

[mase4me2003]

I just got my first car, and the car that I always wanted, but to my surprise after driving it for a few weeks, I notice this.....



WHAT IS IT???

And also, PO430 is "Cataylst Efficiency Below Threhold (Bank 2)", Right? Problem is the oxygen sensors, Right? And lastly, PO720 is the ouput speed sensor, Correct?

do you have a remote start or any thing if not just trace the wires what ever it is its not anything done y the factory, welcome to the forum by the way

[mase4me2003]

Thanks for welcoming me to the forum. I'm glad to learn as much as possible about cars. As with your question, I do not have a remote starter, only remote door opener and trunk, but when I turned it on the engine runs faster, as if the RPMs are higher in each gear. I can't explain it in any other way.

Its the hyper-drive switch for sure.. It came as an option on many Maximas.haha

No but my pathfinder had a switch that had the same sort of function and it came stock. its was called ECS? or something. the switch just read either normal or power..It just held the transmission shifts for a little longer for when towing or something.. Call the guy you bouhg it from and ask.

[mase4me2003]

Unfortunatly I can't just call the person who once owned the car because I got this from a dealer only auction... But I was able to trace the wires and I think it may be the "Starter Signal". Here is why

[wierdguy75]

Its deffinately not stock, looks like a remote wire for an amplifier for subs or something. Its going from the fuse block to where? Can you find out?

[mase4me2003]

The switch has two wires, one connecting to the fuse box but the other, I haven't traced yet and even if I did, I would take a picture of it and come back here to get the information needed.

maybe it used to have neons or foot well lights. not a mounting place for NOS, unless they were an idiot. anything happens when you flip it?

[mase4me2003]

No nothing ever happens, to my knowledge as I'm driving the car. I may get a mechanic to take a look at it...

[allensteiner]

btw...it doesn't matter where they plugged it in on the fuse block. they probably chose the starter fuse because it gets constant power through it. pull it out and see if anything happens - doubt it - and you'll know if it has any kind of function.

[D_roc]

just trace down the wire, it coulb be somethign like thishttp://cgi.ebay.com/Nissan-Sup...wItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

just a wild guess

[allensteiner]

D_roc, that's something to add to your summer mod list even though it'll take some hp away you'd be supercharged

[D_roc]

lol no but i'll find something else i have toooo much time on my hands

[MinisterofDOOM]

Have you tried starting the car with it in both positions? Might be a starter lockout.

[DConrad2007]

If not a starter kill it could be a switch for the fog lights.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Also, the fact that it draws power from that specific fuse doesn't mean it has anything to do with the function that fuse protects. You could draw power from any fuse for any purpose.

[mase4me2003]

Tomorrow I will start the car with it off and on, but unless I hear a differences the ignition or startup of the car, I don't know what to do.. Thank you, everyone who contributed to the forum.. Thanks alot...
