Known issues on the 1996 Maxima. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year, all tracing back to aftermarket headlamp and lighting equipment sold for use on this vehicle rather than to a factory part: aftermarket headlamps, combination corner/bumper lamps, and turn signal assemblies that were missing the required amber side reflex reflectors, which can leave the vehicle poorly illuminated or decrease lighting visibility and result in a vehicle crash. Owners have filed 106 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind this vehicle's lighting and electrical systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting a replacement headlamp assembly, chasing a lighting circuit, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the correct factory specification for your specific 1996 Maxima.
