New to Infiniti

[countrygrl]

I have been driving Toyota 4 runners and a GMC K1500 pick-up for the last 20+ years. My last 4-Runner died about 6 months ago. My late husband was a mechanic by hobby, and I always searched the forums for helpful hints! 3 weeks ago, I found a 1993 Infinity Q45 for sale. Got it cheap, but needs work! I don't think anything major, but need help finding info! This is what I was told and what I found when I bought it!
1. The stereo was shot! Needed a new one! ACTUALLY... stereo is a Bose system in great condition... the antenna does not work! I can hear the motor running, but stem is broken.
2. Someone broke out the back passenger window and stole the sunroof motor. I found the sunroof motor is still there, but no map light console, or what ever was there!
3. NO OWNER'S MANUAL!!
4. Leaks a small amount of oil. I've been told has a 32-valve V-8. No info!!
I am fairly, mechanically inclined, don't mind getting dirty, and would love to learn all about this car! My biggest dilema at the moment is the sunroof! Someone actually ripped out the maplight console! There is a plug, but also bare wires, which I taped up,and a big hole! The roof is not closed to a seal! Water pours in!

I also live on a dirt road and the traction control does not work! I am assuming this is due to the lack of continuity in the wiring!

Thanks for reading this! Looking forward to your help! Countrygrl

I miss the Hell out of my Q (I had a modded 95).

TCS not working could be a number of things. Do you have TCS and ABS lights illuminated in the gauge cluster? Might be as simple as a fuse, or it could be an ABS sensor (both systems rely on the same wheelspeed sensors).

Bad power antenna is very common on 90s Nissans. Best solution is to replace it with a manual one.

The engine is a 4.5 liter 32 valve DOHC V8. TONS of knowledge for care for the car in our Q forums.

BOSE speakers don't play well with aftermarket headunits. See the Q forum for tips on how to make the most of their weirdness.
