Switch Positions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Switches are shown in wiring diagrams as if the vehicle is in the "normal" condition. A vehicle is in the "normal" condition when:

ignition switch is "OFF",
doors, hood and trunk lid/back door are closed,
pedals are not depressed, and
parking brake is released.
