Haven't checked (battery) actually, didn't even occur to me. Will look into it. Thanks :thumbsup:

Didn't you read my first reply to your alarm prob thread?

I had to replace the battery in my M35 a couple of weeks ago ($130 I think). The one that came out of it wasn't the original one from manufacture, but probably the 2nd according to the date. So a new battery every 4-5 years isn't too bad considering all the electronics on board.

Yeah you mentioned it, but I'd had no other reason to suspect battery. No obvious battery problems.

I'll grab the battery tester and check it, but I can't see it being the cause.

It's just gone off AGAIN so I've locked it and disconnected the battery.

Do these things have a backup battery? Is it possible that could be the problem?

Most factory alarms don't have back up batteries check the bonnett switich very common unplug the switich and test it over a few days if thet does not fix it you said there was sensors on the dash unplug them and see how that goes for a few days

Fitted my new steering wheel this arvo. Looks nice!

Not as hard as I expected; was stressing about the Airbag a little.

Same factory wheel as came out (just better condition), right? How long did it take you & did you need special tools - like those star head security doo dads?

Yeah, mine had fairly bad wear on the RHS through the paint down to raw leather.

About 20 mins; Disconnect both battery terminals with interior light on to discharge electrical system.

Pop the two small covers off the lower quadrants between steering spokes.

Undo the 2 T30 security screws and remove.

Gently pull airbag module free, and unhook cable from tab in centre of steering wheel boss.

On the back of the airbag, unclip the tabs on the side of the 90deg yellow plug. Pull tab away from plug slightly. This will allow the Airbag cable to come free.

Release plug/s for horn/wheel controls.

Put keys in ignition to release steering lock. This will stop you from damaging locking mechanism when you undo the mounting nut.

Ensure the steering wheel is correctly centred. THIS IS CRITICAL!

Use a 19mm socket and a breaker bar to undo steering wheel nut. It is tight; so brace the wheel with one hand (or get a friend to assist if you're puny) and turn bar anti-clockwise.

Wind the nut up until it's level with the top of the thread on the steering column. Do not completely remove. (This stops you being hit in the face by a flying steering wheel)

Centre steering wheel again.

Brace knees under steering wheel, pushing up hard; as if you're going to pop it off the taper. (You won't; it's effin' tight)

Use a drift, or a 6" socket extension bar and a decent sized hammer, to hit the steering shaft. Don't club it to death; you'll collapse the column, just give it a decent hit.

Repeat and you'll feel the wheel release from the taper. Only took a couple of firm hits for mine.

Completely remove 19mm nut.

Slide wheel off gently, and it's just the reverse to refit. Don't disturb the clock spring assy behind the wheel if you can avoid it.

If you're not confident with any of the above DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT THIS JOB!!!!

About 20 mins

You've done well to get all that done in 20 mins. LOL at leaving the nut patially on. I remember having to take the steering wheel of our ride-on as a kid. Took the nut all the way off, gave the wheel a big heave & it came off & smacked me in the head soooo hard, doh :wacko:.

20 mins is about right if you havent done it before.

i did mine in under 5. but it was the 3rd time in a row that i did it.

dont rush it, make sure you plug the airbag in properly!!

AFM died tonight on windsor road in the rain. lucky i had a friend to help me push it off the road.

didnt know it was the AFM. it just died and wouldnt start again. it would turn over fine (i did it a lot probably killing my brand new battery), stutter, then die.

big thanks to craig for phone diagnosis!

These things seem like consumable parts! It almost feels like if your M35 dies, its your AFM. I dont think I see anything crop up even CLOSE to as frequently. Almost feel like buying a cheapie and throwing it in the cubby hole

I'm know it's been up before, but what's the P/N, what else is it compatible with, (if anything) and is there a low cost source? As I'm sure Nissan Aust want a bit for one...

AFM Nissan part number is 22680-6N211

It should be the same as used in the 2001-2007 X-trail and the 2000-2005 Pulsar

From memory, I got one @ trade prices for sub $200 ex-melbourne. Best bet for a 'cheap' one would be YAJ but you'll never know the story behind one of those. Could last a week or a life time.

I bought a new one from Nissan....FYI there was an updated part number from the original! So if you buy a new one it should last longer!

Just spotted this; I reckon it took me longer to write down how I did it, and reset all my settings on the bloody stereo afterwards...

Lol @ steering wheel accident! I know of so many people who've done it, probably seems very obvious; post head injury...

Was the updated part number the one Dunc quoted? 22680-6N211?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
