What might make the driver's side wiper stop working on a 2002 Nissan Xterra?

The wiper system consists of the motor on the passenger side of the firewall, a pivot/passenger wiper drive in the center and the driver side wiper drive. There are stamped steel links that connect the motor to the center pivot/passenger side wiper drive and the center pivot to the driver side wiper drive, respectively. They have greased nylon bushings on each end which snap very tightly over ball studs on the pivots/drives. If your windshield got icy or very muddy, it's likely the bushing on either end of the driver side link popped off. The whole system is located in the vent area, under the black plastic vent trims between the windshield and hood. Open the hood, flip the wiper arm trims up (the round parts at the base of the arms) and remove the nuts that hold the arms on (after marking where the wipers go on the windshield with tape). Pry the arms up with a screwdriver at their bases and remove. The trims should just pry up also. Best fix is to replace the link, not just snap it back on. The bushings are not available by themselves, but the links are very inexpensive and the problem is common enough (the bushings are sacrificed to save the motor) that most dealers should have the links in stock. Good luck.

How do you fix the front driver side electric window on a 2000 Nissan Xterra that will go down but not up most of the time?
I had same problem on my 2000 Nissan Xterra. You probably need to replace the power window switch assembly. I did the same on my car and it works fine now. Go to http://catalog.nissanpartswholesale.com and look for part number O3060-177168 ($89.60). I'm not sure how far it goes back but there was a recall/service bulletin on my '01 Xterra for the same problem. They replaced all 4 of the assemblies at no charge. Might be worth a call to the local dealership.

What is the use of installing new drivers for the CD ROM?
If the CD rom drive has stopped working properly or maybe there's some type of incompatibility issues then you might want to consider installing the newer drivers. But if the CD rom has stopped working because of a hardware issue, then installing new drivers may not help in that case. If everything appears to be working normally with your CD rom drive though, than I'd say to just leave the drivers as it as is for the time being.
