I Have got a 1991 Nissan Maxima within the last 5 monthes and it ran very well for the first 2 monthes.
It Gets good gas mileage (About 22 Gpm) and came with almost all optional features including a Boise Sound system all for $600 Bucks!
Recently I have been having problems with the electrical systems of it and my friend although not certified, is a freaking genius when it comes to cars expecially since he has a Nissan Pulsar and works on it every day its warm out.
Recently My maxima needed a new altenator then a week later it needed a new battery (Battery and altenator costed a total of about $170) and now for some reason my battery seems to have rapidly drained and i always double check before turning off my car to see if everything is off, (Lights, CD-Player/Radio Player, AC/Heating, ect...) and my car just but when my friend checked it the battery was dead. And early that morning i was about to go to school and my car died just before i could reverse. After my friend looked at my car he charged the battery and cleaned a really rusty ignition wire. The problem still persisted. It doesnt die now but I was taking my friend home that night and i turned on the heat (Cuz it was freaking cold out) and i had the radio on, as soon as i hit a red light so i had to stop and all my cars power started to drain its power! everything was getting dimmer! and we just fully charged the battery! My friend checked the altenator connections and said they were all connected. so can anyone give me some help with what might be wrong? I bet even with my description theres still alot that may be wrong but, i hoped i narrowed it. im hoping its nothing expensive that needs to be replaced since, Im soo poor after 1. Getting a car ($600), 2. getting a laptop (Which i enjoy happily and was from a liquidation sale for $300! Its a steal!) 3. Getting a new altenator (About $79.99 after giving my old core) and 4. Getting a new cheap battery (Its a cheap 1 year battery, for about $70 brand new)
