1. Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment
3. Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together
4. A loose license plate or bracket
Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, se curing, or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.
SUNROOF/HEADLINING
Noises in the sunroof / headlining area can of ten be traced to one of the following items:
1. Sunroof lid, rail, linkage, or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise
2. Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder
3. Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking
Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
SEATS
When isolating seat noise it is important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat
when the noise occurs. These conditions should be duplic ated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Causes of seat noise include:
1. Headrest rods and holder
2. A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame
3. The rear seatback lock and bracket
These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of thes e incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.
UNDERHOOD
Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:
1. Any component mounted to the engine wall
2. Components that pass through the engine wall
3. Engine wall mounts and connectors
4. Loose radiator mounting pins
5. Hood bumpers out of adjustment
6. Hood striker out of adjustment
These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move, or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs c an usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

DESCRIPTION
 In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized method. Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also, get a thor-
ough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate equipment and follow
the correct test procedure.
 You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while te sting electrical components. Gently shake the wiring
harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE:
Refer to GI-37, "
How to Check Terminal" to probe or check terminal.
TESTING FOR “OPENS” IN THE CIRCUIT
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the system. This
will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will also reinforce your work-
ing knowledge of the system.
Continuity Check Method
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circui t. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the resistance
function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol). Check to always start with
the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circui ts, please refer to the previous schematic.
 Disconnect the battery negative cable.
 Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this example)
 Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
 Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate that por-
tion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
 Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the circuit
has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, t he DMM would indicate an over limit or infinite resis-
tance condition. (point B)
 Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of the
circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the ci rcuit, the DMM would indicate an over limit or infi-
nite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Voltage Check Method
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circui ts please refer to the previous schematic.
In any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodica lly checking the system for the presence of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
 Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
 Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
 With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage: open is further down the circuit than SW1.
OPEN A circuit is open when there is no continuity through a section of the circuit.
SHORT There are two types of shorts.
 SHORT CIRCUIT
When a circuit contacts another circuit and causes the normal resistance to
change.
 SHORT TO GROUND When a circuit contacts a ground source and grounds the circuit.

7. Remove glass using piano wire or power cutting tool (A) and an inflatable pump bag (B).
NOTE:
Mark the body and the glass with matching ma rks if the back door window glass is reused.
WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to prevent injury.
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
 Never set or stand the glass on its edge . Small chips may develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
 The dam rubber should be installed in position.
 Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or an equivalent and follow the instructions pro-
vided with it.
 Open a door window while the urethane adhesive is curing. This prevents the glass from being forced out by
passenger compartment air pressure when all door windows are closed.
 Inform the customer that the v ehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely
cured (approximately 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
 Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
 The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Never
let them come in contact with the skin and eyes.
 Use in an open, well ventilated location. Never br eathe the vapors. They may be harmful if inhaled.
Move immediately to an area with fresh air if affected by vapor inhalation.
 Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance
of the rear window in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
 Perform adjustment of rear wipe r arm stop location. Refer to WW-74, "
Adjustment".
 Never use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six
months after the date of manufacture. Carefull y adhere to the expiration or manufacture date
printed on the box.
 Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Id eally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
 Never leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.
 The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive has com-
pletely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time
increases under lower temperature and lower humidity.
 If the substrate of the glass joining surface on th e back door panel side is exploded to the air,
exchange the back door assembly without recoating.
 Never apply paint on the back door panel surface wh ich is in contact with the glass when replacing
the back door assembly.
InspectionINFOID:0000000006220821
REPAIRING WATER LEAKAGE FOR BACK DOOR WINDOW GLASS
Leakage can be repaired without removing the glass.
Determine the extent of leakage if water is leaki ng between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass.
This can be done by applying water to the back door window glass area while pushing glass outward.
