FELT CLOTHTAPE
Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
68370-4B000: 15 × 25 mm (0.59 × 0.98 in) pad/68239-13E00: 5 mm (0.20 in) wide tape roll
The following materials, not available through NISSAN Parts Department, can also be used to repair squeaks
and rattles.
UHMW(TEFLON) TAPE
Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
SILICONE GREASE
Used in of UHMW tape that will be visible or not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.
SILICONE SPRAY
Use when grease cannot be applied.
DUCT TAPE
Use to eliminate movement.
CONFIRM THE REPAIR
Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.

Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. Cluster lid A and instrument panel
2. Acrylic lens and combination meter housing
3. Instrument panel to front pillar garnish
4. Instrument panel to windshield
5. Instrument panel mounting pins
6. Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter
7. A/C defroster duct and duct joint
These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.
CAUTION:
Do not use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If you saturate the area with silicone, you will
not be able to recheck the repair.
CENTER CONSOLE
Components to pay attention to include:
1. Shifter assembly cover to finisher
2. A/C control unit and cluster lid C
3. Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit
The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.
DOORS
Pay attention to the:
1. Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise
2. Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher
3. Wiring harnesses tapping
4. Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops
Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the areas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks to
repair the noise.

BATTERY
Check battery type and determine the specified current using the table.
After starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
Fig. 5 Additional Charge (Standard Charge)
CAUTION:
Never use standard charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
Set charging current to specified value in Fig. 4. If charger is not capable of producing specified
current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Never turn on charger first, as
this may cause a spark.
If battery temperature rises above 55 °C (131 °F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 55 °C (131 °F).

C: QUICK CHARGE
Fig. 6 Initial Charging Current Setting and Charging Time (Quick Charge)
Check battery type and determine the specified current using the table.
After starting charging, adjustment of charging current is not necessary.
CAUTION:
Never use quick charge method on a battery whose specific gravity is less than 1.100.
Set initial charging current to specified value in Fig. 6. If charger is not capable of producing spec-
ified current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Never turn on charger first, as
this may cause a spark.
Be careful of a rise in battery temperature because a large current flow is required during quick-
charge operation.
If battery temperature rises above 55 °C (131 °F), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 55 °C (131 °F).
Never exceed the charging time specified in Fig. 6, because charging battery over the charging
time can cause deterioration of the battery.
