34 Maxima
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because
the batteries are not fully charged, or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
What if all the systems on my Maxima seem to be dead?
n Make certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
n Push in the reset button to reset the main circuit breaker. See V. Your Maxima.
n Make certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronic controller assembly and to the
battery terminals. See figure 20.
n Make sure that the 9-pin front-to-rear harness is firmly connected. See figure 21.
