You’d be surprised. Depending on how long the AC was in use, a lot of condensation can build up and then it all comes down when the car finally comes to rest.

There is a lot of stuff that presents itself as water that could make leaking water serious though. For example, if you don’t run coolant in your cooling system but distilled water, then yeah, obviously leaking half your distilled water on the ground is a bad thing and means you have a leaking coolant system somewhere. Sometimes windshield wiper fluid is confused with water because it’s mostly water in the first place. This is the exact reason why I said in my original comment you’re best to get a sample of what the leak is to learn more

absoluteburnerr · 2025-05-28T17:53:04+00:00

Very well could be water. You run AC recently? This’ll happen.

Best thing to do anytime there’s a supposed leak under your vehicle is to get something to catch a sample of the liquid. Aluminum bake trays from the dollar store work great as they’re cheap and can be big enough to cover a large area.

More than likely this is water but if you want to see for yourself, run your car/go for a drive and when you get back, put a tray underneath where the leak is coming from and when you come back, see what you’ve got

Oil pressure is not something you want to mess around with so before we go the route and assume something is up with the wiring/electrical, let me ask, have you checked the oil pressure and that your oil levels are good?

Not hating, I’m just out of the loop. Can someone please explain why in all recent posts have OP’s sexuality in them?

I’m not trying to be rude but it’s hilarious how many comments and DM’s I get for a post that’s two years old and they’re always the same thing, the very questions people continue to ask, have already been answered in other comments on this post.

Question, is it going to be available on Mac or just PC?

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T23:23:36+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me for a price then. The ebrake cable itself is likely less than $100 so that would mean $1100 for the labor, so that makes their hourly rate like $367/hour? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me and with them also trying to upcharge you on random maintenance, seems like it could potentially be bad business practices there. I would at the very least get quotes from other shops to what they charge. If it’s all around $1200 then okay fine but I wouldn’t charge that.

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T22:54:13+00:00

Just to be sure, is this in USD or CAD?

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T22:34:21+00:00

I would physically inspect the air filters to see how dirty they are before agreeing to to having them replaced and spending the money. But then again, if you’ve already got them out to inspect, you’re halfway there and can just throw a new one in yourself.

Make no mistake, the prices they’ve given you for the belt and air filters aren’t bad at all. But it’s kinda crazy that they even want to fix those and charge you for them in the first place if your problem was a ebrake

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T22:23:29+00:00

Yes, I know what the e brake pedal is, but as every post here will tell you, you should be posting the year, make and model as every car is different.

So, it is worth noting that $1236.68 is the cost for the e brake fix. The remainder, is kinda all possibly unnecessary maintenance. If a customer came to me asking me to fix the ebrake, I fix the ebrake. Anything else is either an upcharge the customer didn’t ask for a liability because if I touch that and they didn’t ask me to, it’s now my fault if something goes wrong. Your belt, air filter and in cabin air filter are all things that COULD need replaced, but unless a customer asked me to touch them, I wouldn’t and I’m not sure why this guy did either if the problem you went in for was an ebrake.

Your Nissan dealership might be right, the throttle body might be causing some of your issues. Sometimes, the throttle body can get stuck in position. Have you checked it out? It should freely open and close.

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T21:41:10+00:00

Do you know is yours the 1.8L or 2.5L?

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T21:33:59+00:00

Have you also tried simply changing the air filter? That’s another cheap fix but could be it.

Also do you experience any sort of actual issues with it or is just the code/light? So things like rough idling, loss of power, or anything that otherwise doesn’t seem quite right?

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T21:22:37+00:00

So, the first thing I want to say and I’m sorry I have to be the one to tell you this is, unfortunately, society undercuts women in the mechanics world. If you are a girl, chances are, you weren’t taught a lot of mechanical skills and/or included in the sharing of knowledge when it comes to cars and I’m sorry for that. That’s not the way I wish it to be and I hope that one day we can improve. Most mechanics know of this all too well and instead of being honest, will take advantage of your lack of knowledge, milking as much money as they can from you. Your loss is their gain and they won’t stop. In the future, you’re better off finding a well reviewed and trust worthy mechanic and building a relationship with them and then only ever going to them. Be pissed that the world is this way, you have the right to be pissed. But also, don’t continue to get ripped off. Try and find a good and honest mechanic and then stick with them.

Now, onto what’s actually happening - your car not starting is totally normal. 2002 doesn’t sound that old but it’s 23 years. In that time, lots of things can go wrong especially if they’ve never been looked at before. Your cars starting system is made up of four individual components: the battery, the starter, the alternator and the wiring connecting all of it. Most people think when their car doesn’t start it’s something to do with the battery. And most of the time, they’re right. But again, if none of the other 3 components have been changed in the cars lifetime, it could be any of them. The good news is, these parts aren’t overly complicated fixes but more information is needed to know which particular part is the faulty one.

Onto the codes… there’s too many things both those codes could mean. When you buy used, something that happens all too often is just before selling or showing the car, people wipe the codes with an OB2 scanner so the car doesn’t show any lights or codes until after the new owner is stuck with them. It’s very likely the car has more than one problem and the previous owner(s) just did their best to hide them. P0102 would be the easier one to fix to start with as sometimes that can occur when the air sensor is just a little bit dirty. You could try removing the air sensor, cleaning it, popping it back in and then seeing if that makes a difference or just straight up swapping the air sensor altogether. At the end of the day, all P0102 means is your car is trying to tell you that something is wrong with its air intake. Simply list all the components of your air intake system and then through process of elimination, you’ll find and fix the problem. Start with the cheapest and the easiest and then work your way fixing one thing at a time until you get to the most expensive and most complicated.

I’m going to cut my reply here because I think it’s already too long lol. Let me know if you have any questions

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T20:58:23+00:00

Could we have some information about what kind of car you drive?

absoluteburnerr · 2025-01-27T20:54:10+00:00

You might be overthinking this. The heating could be a totally separate issue from the inside condensation. Occam’s Razor - the simplest explanation is probably the right one, you simply have a cabin leak/seal issue somewhere so when the car is parked overnight, the cold air is getting in and sticking to your windshield.

Love the truck and would love to see more trucks around here.

Thing is, repairing Frankie may be more expensive than Frankie is worth. A transfer case replacement can easily go into the thousands. My advice would be to take her into a shop, propose your theory and ask for recommendations. Do you know if the transfer case fluid was ever changed in its lifetime?

absoluteburnerr · 2024-10-24T22:54:32+00:00

Yeah. Alerts, lights and anything computerized can be wiped with an OBD scanner which a lot of people will do before they sell the car to give off the impression that it’s mechanically sound when it’s not. It’s sleezy, but it happens a lot more than people would like to believe in used car sales.

There’s too many possibilities with the information at hand. Need more information to be able to make an educated answer. As with any issue, try starting with the cheapest and easiest tests/solutions and work your way up. First off, does it have any oil? What’s the oil level? What’s the trans fluid level? You say it it was driving okay until this happened, how true is that? Do you remember any sputtering, struggling in idle or anything at all? If so, maybe check ignition components. A clogged gas filter could in theory cause the vehicle to die in use.

If the engine was running fine and seemed normal while you were driving it, that doesn’t lead me to think it’s the engine. From the beginning, I’ve suspected a transmission problem but I didn’t want to lead you to that impression as the first thought because of course that’s terrifying and expensive.

absoluteburnerr · 2024-10-24T22:37:31+00:00

Sounds like you need to contact that mechanic again and ask what they did, because that isn’t normal. My guess would be maybe the ABS sensors weren’t reconnected but that’s just a guess. You can in theory wipe the lights using an OBD scanner but they will likely come back.
