POWER TRAIN
SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. TURNS OUT THAT SOMETHING IN THE HEAD IS BROKEN AND THE WHOLE HEAD WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM MYSELF I SAW NUMEROUS POSTS ON THE BOARD WITH OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME GENERAL PROBLEM WITH 1995-1997 NISSAN SENTRAS, SMALL PICKUPS AND ALTIMAS.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
I AM A PROFESSIONAL FIRE INVESTIGATOR. THIS VEHICLE FIRE ORIGINATED WITH THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE BURN PATTERNS CLEARLY INDICATE THIS TO BE THE AREA OF ORIGIN AND THE SUPPORTING BURN PATTERNS INDICATE THE FIRE ORIGINATED IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD, I BELIEVE THE FIRE IS RELATED TO THE RECALL PROBLEM.*AK
