Stereo display and security system

Post by **jchyck** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 5:09 am

Hi ya'll I am new to the forum and have been finding it quite helpful. I just got a 96 J30 last week and have a couple of questions. First my radio works fine but the display doesn't light up, if I hit a bump it will occassionally come on but then goes back out is this possibly just loose wiring or will I need to replace the entire system (would like to keep the original) Also there is a security light on the dash and on the window there is a security alert sticker, does this car come with a factory installed security system and if so what type is it. Thanks in advance.

Your problem could be in the dimmer switch on the left side below the speedometer Try playing with that with the head lights on and off. They are known to go bad also check the connectors behind the radio.

As to the alarm yes it is standard you will need the key fob to activate it.

I E-mailed ya an owners manual

I just bought a 95 J30 today and it is amazing how many people have exactly the same problems. You think that Nissan/Infiniti would have recalls and fix the darn things instead of us figuring it out. Anyway, can you email me the manual also. I am fighting the ever-locking doors, the sunroof, and the non-displaying stereo display, too.

Much appreciated.

for the stereo display, see the following link...

seems a resistor becomes loose

Has anyone successfully done the radio resistor fix?

I mean, I can pickup a soldering gun, and I'm sure I can get the correct resistors also.

But I am unsure about how diffucult the procedure actually is?

Also, is there a way to test the resistor that is in question, or is it kind of just replacing it and hoping to see if it corrects the problem?

I picked up a BOSE head unit for $150 about a year ago, and now the CD display is starting to flicker...

Hope I didn't waste my money completely.

Thanks!

Good News....I had the radio display flicker as mentioned in a whole bunch of posts....finally had a Sunday afternoon and time to attempt the repair....It works...just follow the instructions, disassemble the radio and get a pencil tip soldering iron and just reflow the solder on the two joints...Worked like a charm!!!

No more flicker!!!

My 1993 J30 Bose radio display just stopped working.
Does anyone still have a link or detailed info on what resistor everyone above mentioned to fix the problem?
Or what circuit card or area the poor soldering in on so I can at least attempt a fix?

Also, the CD just stopped working as well.
Takes the CD in , but can't read it.
Any quick fixes for that?

Thanks!

I have done this repair to the cracked solder joints in the circuit board in the radio..all it does is repair the display.
I will try to post the link to this fix later today, when I can get home and look it up in my files.
The cd fix will have to be a separate fix.

ok, the link listed above is the one (madchef) I got the info from....unfortunately the website is no longer operational.
I did make a hard copy backup of the pages....if you email me your mailing address, I can snail mail you a copy of the pages....
However, the display board is the one where you want to resolder the resistor in location R510 (resistor value of 470 ohms)

Hi fourdrinie;

I was hoping you could email the hard copy backup of the pages to repair the J30t stereo display.

Please let me know. Thanks!

let me look for it, send me your email address

Well, I can't seem to send a PM to you for some reason. Can you shoot me one and I'll reply back?

Post by **fourdrinie** » Tue Feb 12, 2019 2:40 pm
