I was looking around in the deep part of the console in my TL-S. There is a white disc about the size of a 12v outlet. I pryed it out and its seems to me some type of sensor attached to a couple of wires.....any thoughts what this might be?

 

 

It sounds like you pried out the interior light for that armrest bin.

 

The light only comes on when the headlights are on.

 

x2... I can't believe the OP would have mistaken the console light for anything else. Let's see what they are talking about before I him/her.

 

It's the light haha

 

Why would you do this unless you knew what it was. It could have been the Self Destruct sensor

 

it's the nature of humans... adam and eve,
apple was too tempting.

 

x2 nothing else in there except the AUX plug

 

Omg!!!!

 

Age: 31

 

what is wrong with the age?

 

 

I sense that sensor may no longer sense

Curiosity is a wonderful thing; this is how I learned what's in the engine bay and all around, my Maxima 97 was my guinea pig back in the day

PS The word pried open gives me goosebumps...as my dad always says you don't need force, just your head.

 

Since you posted at 2 AM, I'll cut you some slack.

Don't go there. You kids play nice.

 

I miss my Maxima. I had a forest green '97 GXE. Excellent car back in the day. never could afford modding it though but that generation maxima looked the best imho. the latest gen is growing on me. I might go and drive one and see how I like the CVT.

 

Stay on topic, folks. See the thread title.

There's plenty of threads over in Car Talk if you want to talk about Maximas.

Thanks.

OP, any word?
It's the light yeah?

 

As the young kids say...that's a neck!

 

Could be hard to find out. About 80% of the time, I open my console: no light. But then, every now and then, just to F with me, I'll open the console and BAM, there's a light.


My refrigerator on the other hand, every time I open the door: light.

 

It's the light. It gets pretty hot too if I remember correctly.

 

As I mentioned above: the light only comes on when the parking lights or headlights are on.

 

i wanted to add a comment about it being a tool sensor, and then go "ding ding ding we have a tool!" but i thought that was dickish but if i remember correctly most things like that are in the manual...maybe i will go check

 

well now that were talking about this light.. can you put an led in it??

 

^^ Yep it's called a #74 bulb. I have LEDs even in the glovebox, it can be done.

 

That is one of the funniest quotes i have heard in awhile. LOL.

 

holy shit, your back

 

First the groundhog; now Bearcat. What's next?

 

^^^^

 

Wow, this thread has become hilarious and it's just about a small light........

 

It might become an AZ classic. But, I think we scared the OP away?

 

Hahaha look for a new member!

 

I came in here hoping there was something new in my TL.
