1998 Nissan Maxima power windows except for driver door just stopped working Any ideas what could be the cause?
Answer .
\nPower goes to the drivers door switch and then out to the other switches, so I would look for a bad connection at the drivers switch. Use a 12v circuit tester at the switch area. Also inspect the wires that pass thru the door area as these can get pinched and frayed causing a short.I h…ope this helps you. Mark ( Full Answer )
What could cause a strong static electric shock every time you close your car door?
Answer .
This is most likely due to Electrostatic Charge. That being said, you generate static either by friction (sliding) or by clothing. Very dry cloth (nylon, silks, rayons and some polys) are more prone to create static. Over drying them makes the matter worse. Some fabric sheets help reduce …this problem. .
If you want to avoid it, try changing your clothing material, avoid sliding off the seat when you get out (not an easy task) and by holding a small metal object (such as the car key) tightly in your hand, and allowing this metal object to make the first contact with the door or door handle so that the static charge is destroyed. You may see a tiny spark, and although you may sense something, the shocks that you have been experiencing will be avoided. .
To avoid the shocks, there are also straps that can be attached to your vehicle that discharge any static electricity built up in the vehicle to ground. They are readily available at most any store that sells auto parts or accessories. ( Full Answer )
Why does a garage door opener with or without the door hooked open only a foot or two and then stop and does the same if the door is open and you try to close it?
Answer 1 I am not a garage door opener technician, only a user for many years. The following answer is based on my experience, and hopefully will be replaced or improved by a professional. Many garage door opener manufacturers, in order to make their product SAFER, have added a circuit in the mo…tor, which measures the amount and changes in the operating electrical current. The purpose of this is to detect anything blocking the movement of the door [e.g., a child, a person, a pet, a vehicle, etc.] Even "dragging" bearings/bushing INSIDE the motor can cause this. Upon detection, the door is supposed to stop, and, sometimes, even return to its previous stopped position [usually full open]. ANYTHING, which causes the door motor to "work harder," can trick that detector and cause the situation you describe. If there is nothing blocking the door, I have found that "dragging" rollers, or bearings/bushings inside the motor,can cause the problem. If this is the cause in your case, then you probably can correct it. First, carefully CLEAN all accumulated dust, dirt, lint, cobwebs, grease, etc from the tracks, the rollers, and the roller axles. Then carefully lubricate all roller bearings/axles with JUST 2 or 3 DROPS each of any clean oil. Do NOT overlubricate as this just encourages more accumulation of debris. Another possibility is that some, or all, of the rollers and/or their bearings/bushings are worn out, causing the drag, and then it will be necessary to replace them. These parts are usually available at your local hardware stores, or home improvement warehouses like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. IF your problem is caused by "drag," then proper cleaning and lubrication will fix the problem. Also, drag can be caused by misalignment of any of the tracks, and or bending damage to the door or tracks. Good luck 1 j3h ( Full Answer )

Why does a garage door remote open but not close the garage door?
If the Garage Door can be closed with the wired wall switchand not the wireless transmitter then the problem has to do withthe safety sensor circuit. It could be as simple as something inthe way blocking the beam or as complicated as a random compressionshort in the wiring behind a wall. Simple de…duction can narrow theproblem down very quickly. .
Check the area around the sensors to make sure nothing isobstructing the view. .
Replace the batteries in your remote The garage door remote opens the door but when you try to close thedoor it goes down almost all the way and then reverses and opensagain the problem may be the sensor beam is out of alignment. Thesensor beam consists of a sending and receiving unit located oneither side of the door near the floor it is suppose to keep thedoor from closing if there is an obstruction in the door. tryrealigning the sending and receiving units and see if this solvesthe problem Garage Door openers are designed with safety in mind. Hencethe sensor beams are placed about 6 inches above the floor toprevent the Garage Door from closing on something andpossibly causing damage. There is very little risk of the Garage Door causing damage while opening. This is thereason the garage door remote can open the door but may not be ableto close the Garage Door. Check the area around the sensorsto make sure nothing is blocking the sensor. You can still close the door by using the wall switch. By law theswitch is mounted above 5 feet so a child can't operate it and in aplace where the Garage Door is still visible. Byholding down on the wall switch until the Garage Door quitsmoving you are in essence saying I'm an adult, I see there isnothing underneath the door to be crushed, so ignore the safetysensors and close the door! Your best bet is to call a garage door company. Usually they candetermine the cause quickly and while they are there, they will oiland lube the door. ( Full Answer )
Why does a garage door remote open the door successfully but when you try to close the door the remote does not work and the door must be closed using the wall control in the garage?
Most garage door opener manufacturers adhered to new federalguidlines imposed buy the government in the early 90's to include 2safety devices in each opener to avoid crushing injuries. Most ofthem use photo eyes you might notice mounted towards the bottom 6inches of the track that the garage door ri…des in, ( near the flooron either side of the door). These are used to detect if there maybe an obstruction in the path of a CLOSING door. IF these photoeyes cannot see each other (the beam of infra-red light betweenthem is interupted), the opener is programmed to allow the door toclose as long as someone push and holds the wall button inthroughout the downward travel of the door. This forces anindividual to observe the downward movement of the door, thus,hopefully preventing an injury or property damage. Usually thesephoto eyes will have small LED lights on them. IF both LED lightsare on, this means the photo eyes can see each other, if not, tryadjusting or bending the brackets until they are lined up andlights can be seen on each photo eye. This is a very commonproblem. It sometimes only takes a slight bump to knock them out ofalignment. If this doesn't work, make sure the wiring from thephoto eyes up to the opener is in tact and connected securely.Don't worry about a shock, most openers use low voltage for thissystem. Answer2 A hit it right on the head. but if somehow that still doesnot help, sometimes check to see the sensors are not dirty orsometimes have spider webs, that also causes a problem. These are both correct you will also have some of them havingproblems during the day but not at night most of the time this iscaused by the sunlight shining in on the receving side. Easy fix isto swap the sensors ( Full Answer )

Check your safety sensors. Most likely they are out of balance. You should have a steady burning light on them. If not, slowly move them to the direction of the other safety sensor. That should take care of it.
Why only in winter will your garage door stop and go back up at the electric eye but will close OK if slight hand pressure is used to help it down?
It sounds like the down presure adjustment needs to be increased a little. In the colder months the rubber seals on the door will become rigid and compress harder. On most models there is an adjustment screw for down presure. It should only be turned slightly and the door closed each time until it c…loses on its own. I recomend that a qualified installer do this to make sure the door is operating correctly. Also check the door for foreign objects hanging on the bottom, spider webs, debris, etc. Anything that may break the beam between site cameras. ( Full Answer )

Why Garage door opener not closing?
If you have a garage door that opens and closes electronically, then check the side of your garage closest to the door for sensors that would be on both sides of the door. If the sun is still out, and shining into the sensors, that may be why. To fix this, stand outside your garage, and arrange your… shadow over the sensor, then press the button. Your shadow must be over the sensor until it is finished closing, otherwise it will not work. If this doesn't work, it probably needs to be repaired. ( Full Answer )

What could cause LH-F door open warning on a range rover p38 when door are closed?
Several things are possible. The drivers side door is opened and closed more than any other. In that door is an all in one electrical door lock actuator. It locks and unlocks the door using the key fob. One of the electrical circuits in that device detects if the door is open or closed. That circuit… is fed by a cheap plastic part internally that gets bent/warped over time. The open door error typically happens more often when the car has been sitting in the heat. The correct fix is to replace that door lock mechanism. (not cheap, couple hundred for the part along not counting the labor to remove the inner door panel to get at it.) The cheap and dirty way is to pull the rubber seal where the wiring comes from the door into the car body. The blue wire is the one that feeds the door open message. You can jumper that wire to the black wire and the door will think it is closed. That fix means the door will ALWAYS think it is closed. Locks work etc. but opening that door will not turn on the interior light anymore. The right fix is take it to the dealer and pay them the $500.00 to fix it. ( Full Answer )
