Exclamation Quick couple of issues, help plz!

First issue is when i start coming to a stop i hear a small clunking noise, i belive it is the brakes. It only clunks when im slowing down to a near stop, and does not do it when im not pressing the brakes. It is not like one big sound, just a couple small sounds every half second or so untill i stop. Im guessing its the brake pistons.

Second Problem is that my left headlight is not working properly. but it does come on when i have the brights on. do the brights come out the ftps lenses or the actual headlight? cuz if they come out the headlights then that would explain why the light only works when the brights are on, but if they arent then i guess its a wiring problem.

The Third problem i can most likley find on the FAQ list, but since im already writing about these other problems i'll just say it. My Window washers only work on one setting, and the fluid only comes out on the drivers side part of the windsheild.


Thanks for your time,

~Mike.

sorry I don't have answers to all of your questions but your second problem sounds like one I had with my sentra.. try switching the bulbs or just get a new one.

Hey! i have the same first problem as you! I'm pretty stumped, my front rotors were surfaced just a few months ago and the brake pads are new (but crappy) too.

your 1st problem you need new disc also new pads. while your at whomever is helping you have them check your calipers and see if they are working properly.if not replace them with rebuilt ones.your 3rd problem is very common easy solution buy a rebuilt /new wiper switch .and finally your washer fluid spray nozzle is clogged gentlly remove and open with a small needle , pin ,yourgirlfriends earring etc.you should be good to go.

thanks bro, but the performance of the brakes are still great, and no skretching or anything, so im thinkin its just the calipers making the small clunking sounds because there is a pattern to it kind of. but yea thanks for the wiper switch info and washer fluid nozzle stuff, im gona try that as soon as i get outa school.
