Where did you get new antenna? If no instructions talk to the Autoparts store where you bought it. There should be instructions with the antenna. What happened to old antenna? A motorized antenna? If motorized, antenna has a white nylon gear tooth at back end. If it's not motorized it may not match. The bezel usually screws into the motorized device underneath the body work. Should be way to use small wrench to turn just like a nut to remove. Hope this helps. I've changed mine several times, by going throug the carwash without turning off the radio, but
different car.
Disconnect the ground at the battery. remove the intake tube to access starter. Remove the 12 volt and trigger wire from the starter, then the 2 bolts holding it in place. remove starter. Install in reverse.
You may be sucking in air into your fuel system due to a crack line or hose.It's hard to find a suction problem because it does'nt leak .Look closely at the supply fuel lines.
There are plastic gears connecting the track to the seat assembly. Whne one of these strip the seat will only work or move to one side. Infiniti does not sell a simple fix. You are looking at buying an entire seat assembly complete with the module for all the electronics. It will be at a cost of around $950 - $1000. Once that is in, Infiniti must program the seat to the brain of the car, only then can you reset your memory settings.
Give these instructions a shot. Might be too generic but might be enough to get you going.
Removing Original Antenna
Step 1
Activate the antenna switch to the up position.
Step 2
Using the wrench or needle-nose pliers, loosen and remove the original retaining nut on the base of the antenna mast.
Step 3
Gain access to the underside of the area where the antenna is located.
Step 4
Remove the bracket or brace that is below the hole and holding the antenna in place.
Step 5
Remove the mast.
Step 6
Find the motor that controls the antenna mast. Generally, power antennas will have a constant 12-volt lead and a ground lead. The ground lead will be grounded to the panel next to the motor.
Step 7
Remove the ground lead from the panel.
Step 8
Pull out the antenna coaxial cable.
Step 9
Unplug the coaxial from the extension coaxial cable.
Step 10
Remove the original antenna coaxial cable. Note the route the cable follows.
Installing the New Power Antenna
Step 1
Inspect the fender area where the antenna mast will be mounted for rust.
Step 2
Clean the area before installing the new antenna.
Step 3
Plug the new antenna coaxial cable to the extension coaxial cable. (On some General Motors and Ford cars you may need an adapter to mate the 2 cables together. Car audio retail stores sell such an adapter.)
Step 4
Plug the new antenna's coaxial cable into the radio's chassis antenna jack if there is no extension coaxial cable. Tie or tape the string you put on the extension cable to the new antenna coaxial cable. This assures that the 2 cables stay together as you route them to the antenna mount in the fender.
Step 5
Connect the power lead of the antenna to the power antenna lead on the radio.
Step 6
Connect the 12-volt constant lead to the antenna to a 12-volt source or to the ignition switch.
Step 7
Direct the new antenna cable via the same route followed by the original antenna cable on up to the hole in the fender in which the mast will be mounted.
Step 8
Ground the ground lead from the motor to a clean metal surface on the metal panel near the mount.
Step 9
Insert the mast into the hole. Face the serrated side of the plastic cable on the bottom of the mast toward the motor side. The plastic cable can be inserted freely to about 12 inches and will stop.
Step 10
Turn on antenna switch to down position until the plastic cable goes down and catches into the gear mechanism of the drum housing. If the plastic cable does not gear into the mechanism, twist the cable slightly until the cable contacts into the gear mechanism while the motor is in operation.
Step 11
Stop the motor after the cable goes into the housing 12 to 25 inches.
Step 12
Secure the bracket or strap to the bottom of the antenna mast and to the metal fender.
Step 13
Replace the retainer nut to the base of the antenna mast and secure tightly.
Step 14
Replace the panel that covers the antenna mount area.
