1994 Infiniti J30 Gold Package Standard from North America
Summary:
What a beast!!
Faults:
Dash Lights and clock don't illuminate
Sunroof problems
Headlight problems
CD player problems.
General Comments:
There have been many thing that have gone wrong with my Infiniti that I'm sure many people are experiencing.
Starting with the dash lights and the clock light not illuminating.
My sunroof also was leaking, which led to the tilt/open/close and dome lights non functionable.
Also, one of my headlights would come in and out.
To fix these problems with a dealer I would have spent at least 2000 dollars USD. However my dad is an engineer, and together we were able to fix all three problems.
First we ordered a headlamp relay, rheostat (dimmer switch for headlights), and a sunroof panel online for $75 including shipping. Search online, don't just look locally.
We replaced the headlamp relay which is located under the hood, far right towards the driver side corner. It was tricky, but with the right tools we were able to replace it. This fixed the headlight problem and now it works unreal.
Next we just re placed the sunroof panel by simply plugging in the 2 now outlet type things. This fixed the the sunroof and dome light problems, with a little help of oil to make the joints moist again.
The rheostat is the major problem of the dash lights going out. Replacing this part will fix the problem, however you must purchase a working rheostat. Make sure you get the pigtail with the rheostat and all you have to do is wire cut the wires, re twist them (yellow, black, green, green) and solder them together, and this fixed the problem for me. So nice having the lime green clock and dash lighting up again, back to luxury baby.
I have a problem I need your help with however, my CD player keeps spitting out my CD's, even brand new unburned ones and keeps saying CD ERR. Help...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
