SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND TEST DRIVE
If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when you confirm the repair.
If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli-
cate the noise with the vehicle stopped by doing one or all of the following:
1) Close a door.
2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears to be coming from.
3) Rev the engine.
4) Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle “twist”.
5) At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, half-clutch on M/T model, drive position on A/T model).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.

Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs.

If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the
vehicle body.
CHECK RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS
After verifying the customer concern or symptom, check ASIST for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related
to that concern or symptom.
If a TSB relates to the symptom, follow the procedure to repair the noise.
LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE
1. Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool
(Chassis Ear: J-39570, Engine Ear and mechanics stethoscope).
2. Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:

removing the components in the area that you suspect the noise is coming from.
Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fastener can be broken
or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.

tapping or pushing/pulling the component that you suspect is causing the noise.
Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will only be eliminated
temporarily.

feeling for a vibration with your hand by touching the component(s) that you suspect is (are) causing the
noise.

placing a piece of paper between components that you suspect are causing the noise.

looking for loose components and contact marks.
Refer to SE-7, "
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting" .
REPAIR THE CAUSE

If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.

If the cause is insufficient clearance between components:
–separate components by repositioning or loosening and retightening the component, if possible.
–insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or ure-
thane tape. A Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) is available through your authorized Nissan Parts
Department.
CAUTION:
Do not use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
The following materials are contained in the Nissan Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980). Each item can be
ordered separately as needed.

8. Remove the front and rear leg cover (LH and RH).
NOTE:
1. Slide the seat backward, and disconnect the front tabs on the front leg cover. Then move the cover
toward the rear of the vehicle, and pull up to remove.
2. Slide the seat forward, then disengage the tabs on the front LH and RH of the rear leg cover and tabs
engaged into the rail. Then pull the cover toward the rear of the vehicle.
9. Slide the seat until the body mounting bolts are visible and a tool can be inserted.
NOTE:
When disassembling the driver seat after removal, set the front and rear cushion lifter to the top position.
10. Disconnect both battery cables.
11. Remove the harness connector for the side air bag module.
12. Remove the power seat harness connector and vehicle harness fixing clip.
13. Remove the front seat.
NOTE:
When removing and installing, using waste, protect the parts from damage where it may interfere with oth-
ers.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Be sure to insert the rear end tab of the rear leg cover under the rail.

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEMPFP:28810
Components Parts and Harness Connector LocationAKS0056O
System DescriptionAKS0056P

All front wiper relays (HI, LO) are included in IPDM E/R.

Wiper switch (combination switch) is composed of a combination of 5 output terminals and 5 input termi-
nals. Terminal combination status is read by BCM when switch is turned ON.

BCM controls front wiper LO, HI, and INT (intermittent) operation.

IPDM E/R operates wiper motor according to CAN communication signals from BCM.
Power is supplied at all times
