| A failure of the electrical wiring harness caused an engine fire in my 1991 sentra. quick action i was able to save the car from an entire loss which clearly points to where the fire started. nissan didn't want to even look at unless they charged me 89 dollars for a diagnostic test. they could answer me when asked what value that would add since i have all the wires separated and safely taped from shorting further. *jb | |||

| There seems to be a default in the wiring harness. this caused an electricl fire that burned through a fuel line coming from the carburator. a lot of damage was done to the area around the harness and it was only good luck that kept the fire from causing a complete burn down. are there any other reports on this type defect? has there been a call back for this defect? i would be grateful for any information related to this. | |||
