The following materials, not found in the kit, 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 place 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.
Generic Squeak and Rattle Troubleshooting INFOID:0000000004307245
Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.
INSTRUMENT PANEL Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:
1. The 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 noi se. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicone 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 ra ttle. 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 pr ocedures 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 wh ile driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. You can usually insulate the ar eas with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks from
the NISSAN Squeak and Rattle Kit (J-43980) to repair the noise.
TRUNK Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the owner.
In addition look for:
1. Trunk lid bumpers out of adjustment
2. Trunk lid striker out of adjustment

HEADLAMP OPERATION
Low Beam Operation With the lighting switch in 2ND position, the BCM re ceives an input signal requesting the headlamps to illumi-
nate. The BCM then sends a signal, via the CAN comm unication lines, to the IPDM E/R requesting the low
beam headlamps be turned ON. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls ground to the headlamp low relay
coil, which when energized, directs power
• through 15A fuse (No. 41, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 54
• to headlamp RH terminal 3, and
• through 15A fuse (No. 40, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 52
• to headlamp LH terminal 3.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminals 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, low beam headlamps illuminate.
High Beam Operation/Flash-to-Pass Operation With the lighting switch in 2ND position and high beam s witch in the HIGH position, the BCM receives an input
signal requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be used any time and
also sends a signal to the BCM. This input signal is then communicated to the IPDM E/R and the combination
meter via the CAN communication. The CPU located in the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relays (LH
and RH), which when energized, directs power
• through 10A fuse (No. 34, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 56
• to headlamp RH terminal 1, and
• through 10A fuse (No. 35, located in IPDM E/R)
• through IPDM E/R terminal 55
• to headlamp LH terminal 1.
Ground is supplied
• to headlamp RH and LH terminal 2
• through grounds E15 and E24.
With power and ground supplied, the high beam headlamps illuminate.
The BCM sends a signal, via the CAN communication lines, to the combination meter requesting the high
beam indicator lamp be turned ON.
