The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

This 2004 Nissan Maxima factory service and repair manual is built around the 3.5L V6 (VQ35DE) as delivered in your trim, giving you the exact torque values and diagnostic steps Nissan wrote for this car instead of a generic V6 procedure that only mostly applies.

Engines covered

  • 3.5L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • SE
  • SE Elite
  • SE Touring
  • SL
  • SL Luxury
  • SL Premium

Known issues on the 2004 Maxima. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the power front seat: on cars with the driver preferred package, the wire harness from the power lumbar support switch can be routed incorrectly and pinched under the seat, and a pinched harness combined with driving vibration can short circuit and lead to a fire in the seat. The second covers the Skyview sunroof glass, which may not have been quenched properly during forming, leaving temper imbalance that can create excessive internal stress and eventually cause the glass to shatter. Owners have filed 1,425 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a seat harness fault to inspecting sunroof glass or working through a routine V6 service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2004 Maxima.

NHTSA #05V51200007/11/2005Component: SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE DRIVER PREFERRED PACKAGE, THE WIRE HARNESS FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT POWER LUMBAR SUPPORT SWITCH MAY BE ROUTED INCORRECTLY AND COULD BE PINCHED UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT.

Consequence

A PINCHED HARNESS, IN COMBINATION WITH DRIVING VIBRATION, MAY RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE HARNESS THAT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE SEAT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS AND ROUTE IT CORRECTLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 16, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

NHTSA #04V32600007/07/2004Component: VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SKYVIEW ROOFS, THE GLASS FOR THE ROOF MAY NOT HAVE BEEN QUENCHED PROPERLY AFTER THE FORMING PROCESS, RESULTING IN TEMPER IMBALANCE.

Consequence

THIS COULD CREATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL STRESS IN THE GLASS AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE GLASS TO SHATTER, CREATING A RISK OF INJURY.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE GLASS IN THE SKYVIEW ROOF. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
