I bought a shifter position switch (about $20 on Amazon b/c Nissan does not sell this without a much more costly shifter full assembly), and got it done in a few hours. Appreciate your step-by-step. Thank you
What is the exact name of the sensor you bent up to make contact and fix the issue? I have the same problem and need to know what to order so I can fix it myself. I have a 2013 Nissan Altima
I just took my car to have it looked at for this exact issue. I had no idea there was a manual bypass. I was quoted 1700 for the replacement of the entire assembly. I asked if they could replace just the micro switch and they said "no because it's soldered onto the motherboard". Having worked as an engineer in electronics, this peaked my interest as maybe something I could fix myself. Turns out they either had no clue what they were talking about or were just trying to rip me off. Either way, I'm so glad I came across this video.
You are not too old to have a lot of experience on points and condensors, but the contacts on switches of today still need filing to remove some carbon buildup and some burned/arched rough surfaces that acts like velcro and electrical contact treatment to help them to last longer. As for myself, I am ok with bending the lever but I would have filed with special files, very fine, and treated the switch contacts as well with deoxit or stabilant 22. Thank you for the DIY FIX in Part 1, lets see whats in Part 2?

Hey 👋 thanks for the content. Mine is a 2017 Maxima. If I press the brake pedal nothing happens, the tail light does not come on and I cannot start the engine, the gear shift is stuck

Great video sir! This transmission issues is what I intend to learn more. I love your video❤
@davidessien5465 Thanks my Friend!
My 2006 Altima gear stuck when it's cold. When the weather is warm or hot it doesn't get stuck. Could this be a bad shift solenoid as well?
@raiya1114 Yes! it's possible
