Hi all,
I am beginning to get really concerned here. I have an '04 Titan with 110,000 miles on it. I had the IPDM fix done quite a while ago, and it has run fine for over 70K miles. But, lately, when I remove the key to lock it down for the night, the little "Alarm" light will stay on (the small red icon, top right, looks like a car w/ a key across it) before I can lock it. Then, this morning, it stayed on for my entire drive to school, but was off on the way home.
When I removed my key tonight, I got different response: The stereo made a loud "thump" type noise (it was powered on when I turned the key off), and the needles on all of the gauges just started going nuts. They continued dancing around for a while, then stopped. When I shut the door and locked it with the remote, everything was normal again.
So, I came on here and did some searching around, and found that bad battery connections could be the problem. I went out and wire brushed the hell out of my terminals (to my surprise, there was all kinds of corrosion on the (+) terminal), and it has only gone downhill from here. My truck was still doing the gauge needle dance, and none of the lights would come on. I went back up front and jiggled the + terminal connection, and now it seems ok.
Can any of you help? I NEED this truck to get around, and, if I can help it, I really would like to avoid the dealer. Plus I'm putting my ARB bull bar on this weekend, so I really can't afford to loose this thing now!!! Please leave me any advice!
Thanks a lot,
Graham
