Great video. Just some additional information for those wanting to fix it
themselves. I ran a quick check on the drive voltage to my failed speaker
using a 50 ohm load. There is 5Vrms on the output, so make sure to look at
the power rating of the speaker you plan to replace it with. The Pololu
#1261 is great, but it is only rated at 0.15W versus 1W on the OEM speaker.
The OEM speaker is running at ~5*5/50= 0.5W. The 100 ohm replacement
speaker is likely seeing ~5*5/100 or 0.25W. I would recommend putting two
in series to get ~5*5/200 or 0.125W. I think this will be plenty loud and
still give you power margin for better reliability. I will be doing this on
my 2008 Armada. Thanks again and Cheers.
Just wanted to say thanks for this. Probably a half hour repair and I used
a discounted factory buzzer for around $40. Only real issue was getting
the brass or copper one-way holding clips that keep it attached to the
bottom of the speedo cluster. Oh yeah, that and I now know that to remove
the male plug-in you just need to press the centermost slot to release it
from the female end.
Thanks for sharing your video, I just had my buzzer fixed. Just need a
little bit of work, but feel good after it was fixed.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Good you got it fixed.
worked like a charm….thanks for posting this!
Thank you very much for the help, mine is having the problem right now and
I just spend $2300.00 in the Timing Chain service and 2 Motor Mounts broken
and I really need a break and saving some money too. Thank you very very
much.
@lvargas1175 Very good to hear you are able to fix the buzzer. Thanks for
your feedback. You have a great day!
Thanks for the details. My fingers crossed.
hi, i’m trying to change the buzzer, but i’ve never used a solder before,
so i’m hoping it’s not a difficult thing to do. one quick question, do i
sold the wires to the two metal sticks in the yellow part of the new
buzzer? forgive my ignorant terms, i know nothing about cars… also, does
it matter whether i sold the yellow and red wire to one or other side of
the new buzzer? thanks so much for your video! 😀
You will need to solder two wires to the buzzer. If you don’t have a solder
iron and solder, you can pick one inexpensive one from Radio Shack or Home
Depot. If you never solder before, Youtube has plenty of how to videos.
Oh man THANK YOU!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! I have the
same problem on my 2005 Quest. I will now follow your procedure which is
perfect. THAAAANKS!!
Thank you for taking the time to post this! You made me and my wife very
happy! Great job!
Common problem in the 3.5 engine, mine at 83000 start making a rattling
noice very hard every morning or when start for couple seconds and after
that quit but was getting worst so I don’t wanna take the chance and I send
it to the dealer at 88k miles, look very complicated and I dont like to
take chances with that engine, but they replace everything like water pump
all seals etc. But was a hit for me. I’m really upset with this van. But it
is what it is. So start saving for yours.
@bianca1216jt If you replace the buzzer with this aftermarket one then you
need to cut off the factory connector, and strip back the factory wire and
solder to the new one. I recommend you keep the original connector and
broken buzzer in case you need those parts in the future.
Wow, that’s a lot of money spent in one shot. What happened to your timing
chain? Thought they were good for very long time.
Finally I put the buzzer in my Quest today and every was perfect, the
speaker from Polulo is great and loud that will help my wife backing up, I
wanna give you once again the Thanks for posting that helpfull Video. Thank
you Att Hector Acosta from FL.
@vincentimes69 You are very welcome!
I just find an “OEM alike” buzzer on ebay germany (less than $10). OK, it
is surely made in china but… >>Go on ebay.de and search for:
“LAUTSPRECHER mit Gehäuse 50 Ohm 0,5 W 2 Stück”
thank you very much for your videos. I would like to ask you to make a
video about how to replace the front lens in a nissan quest se 1994. I have
to replace mine.
I am glad you got your buzzer fixed. Take care.
Im sure u heard it 1000 times.But i want to do it again.Thank you for
taking your time and helping other to save some money in this hard times.
Thank you very much for taking your time and posting this video and advice
to save us from being ripped off by the dealer.
@mathmonroe211 Happy to be able to help, and thanks for watching.
You’re the luckiest guy in the earth, good for you, BTW that van look
pretty clean how many miles on it?
Haha damn that’s the ugliest interior I ever saw in my life… Literally
Thanks for this advice. I have a Nissan Armada 2004 and your video really
helped me. I actually spent top dollar on ebay to buy the part – around
$48.- with shipping – but your explanation of the process for replacement
was perfect. The dealler wanted hundreads of dollars just to evaluate the
problem. It’s good karma to spread knowledge like this. This is exactly why
the internet was developed. Blessing to you!!!
It plugs right in like the old one is their any sodering involved? Thanks
Yes, saving money is always a good thing. Happy this video helped you. Have
a great day!
Yes you solder the wires to the two metal pins that stick out on the
backside of the buzzer. It does not matter which wires goes to which pin
(polarity is not important here). If you have never soldered before, you
can search for my Youtube video (Auto Install – How to solder and heat
shrink wires together). The solder tip should be heated fully and solder
should melt immediately once you place it onthe tip.
You are very welcome.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Have a great day.
Thank you for your feedback.
@vincentimes69 That looks exactly like the factory one they use. It also
has the correct impedence. That should work.
In my Nissan Quest is not the gas gauge. What I can do?
Thanks for this video. I bought the buzzers from pololu that you suggested
and installed the new buzzer – took me 20 minutes start to finish thanks to
your video, saving me about $275 from my dealer.
I just finished the installation. Your video is excellent and just by the
virtue of you talking (compared to others videos), it totally makes this
procedure easy. I drilled two small holes on plastic frame next to buzzer
and used a tie strap and silicone to hold it in place. I also used in-line
splices so I didn’t destroy the integrity of the connector in the event I
decide to buy OEM.
Hello Sr just for let you know that I just received my Buzzer from Pololu
and was a super fast delivery actually only 3 days but can you help me

you in advance.

me money
