So here's the deal one of my coworkers wants me to drop a compustar into his 04 maxima. He says he's got one meant for a manual (hopefully he's not pulling my chain). Anyway I've heard that some nissans have a wire that goes to ground when the shifter is in neutral. Anyone got any info on where this wire would be in this car? Thanks

No need for a "neutral safety" wire....if he's got a unit designed for a manual trans. Test a gray/red NEG(-) above the clutch at the switch.

Got a hold of the unit, it's a 2w900fmr. So thankfully it is manual "ready". Guess I'll just test the wiring at the bcm. I'd prefer to be safe than sorry. thanks.

The Maxima should have a signal that runs to the ECU, not the BCM. The ECU is most likely under the passenger dash. I don't have the wire color, but if you can get a hold of the service manual it would be in there.

I don't understand the need for the neutral safety wire? Someone please explain to me why? If you install a manual safe unit....why do you need this neutral wire? posted_image

Umm I wouldn't think that you would. He is just being paranoid

Yes I am being paranoid. Couldn't end up finding it anyway. Thanks anyway. Compustars ain't all that bad as far as install goes. Pretty nice programming options too.
