How's it going fellas. I'm too cheap to take my 240sx the shop so pls help me out with a few things.

1) Where do I go to order Nissan 240sx spare parts? Little things such as the power window buttons.2) There's a clicking sound when I turn the A/C on and think it might be the fan. How do I fix that?3) When I turn on the wheel something is scratching up against the engine belt. How do I fix that?4) My blinkers don't blink, but rather light on and stay On. How do I fix that?5) Is Pep boys expensive?

2, If it clicks just once when you switch it on it's normal, it the clutch engaging.

4, The flasher relay is under the dash, you need a new one.

5, Yes

It would help if you told us what year you had.

I have a 1991 Automatic Transmission 240sx. The A/C clicks continuously. Sometimes the blinkers blink, most of the time they don't. What other chain shop would you recomend?

If the AC is clivking on and off you need to have it looked at, it bay be low on R12.

Your relay is on the way out, replace it.

What part of the country are you in? Kragen.

I live in boca raton, Florida. Also, The high beams work perfectly, but when I put lowbeams only the left light works. There is only one light pero headlight thing so I know the light is not broken since it works when I put low beams. How can I fix this?****, how the hell do you learn car mechanics!

Hey man,

In relation to your headlight problem, I had an '87 Maxima that both high beams worked, but when I switched to low beams only the drivers side would work. I replaced the column combination switch because of a short in it and that solved all my woes, as sometimes the low beam would come on in the middle of the night and drain my battery. I bought my switch from a Nissan dealer but you might want to try an online parts dealer, just do a Google search for OEM Nissan Parts, replacing this part could also fix your turn signal issues as well.

sorry, i don't have a '91. . .but is your headlight a dual filament bulb? it's possible that your low beam has burned out even though the high beam still works

#4 is the hazard switch sometimes. I've had that happen. You change 3 relays and they still don't work. That gets dam agrivating. I switched out the hazard switch....WALLA!

p.s. STAY AWAY FROM PEP BOYS! Try to find some one personally who know there shiz. And as for important mechanical stuff for a 240. I personally ALWAYS buy from Nissan. I don't trust used parts. Odds are some one's not using that part for a reason...imho.
