I have a '97 Nissan Sentra that has many problems. I bought it from my brother within the past few months and had no idea what I was getting into. Here’s a list of the problems that I have no idea how to fix: 1)When the headlights are turned the back right light doesn’t work when the brakes are pushed, or the rear top, and license plate lights. I have changed the bulbs but they still don’t work. 2)The drivers window doesn’t roll down 3)The brakes are in full power to the front and a almost all power in the back right. 4)The trunk randomly opens. I find that it may be when I push on the brakes going over a bump 5)When I stick in the key, it will shock me from time to time, or making a whinny sound like a blown out speaker 6)the lights on the gear change randomly work when the lights are on 7)oh, and it randomly stalls. Pushing on the break at stop signs. I learned my lesson to make sure that a car passes safety and emissions before buying. Please help me figure out whats wrong with my car and get it registered. 🙂 Bethlyn ---

Can you get your money back from your brother? How much did he take you for? ---

How many miles on this 13 year old Sentra? Any possibility that this Sentra was water flooded? Just looking for history. ---

Sounds like you have some serious electrical gremlins that need working out. Honestly, the first place I would start would be the ignition switch. Lots of random seeming glitches at the same time all have that one common link. BC.
