Never had any hint of problems until it hit 100K miles. I've owned my 2000 Intrigue since it was new. Need a closer investigation of the CV system. I have replaced the PCV every 10K miles which leaves me adding oil about every 2K miles. After that the consumption problem diminished for about 10K, but came back at 70K with a vengeance. The oil consumption was at about a quart every 1000 miles and I replaced the PCV Valve, which I had expected a dealer or service shop would have done during one of the frequent oil changes. The problem has never been resolved although I am tempted to try the Bosch alternator. As I understand how the alternator may not keep up with the power demand of the fans, I did not pursue the issue after learning the cause. A technician attached a device to the car and was able to duplicate the problem by turning on the low and high cooling fans at the same time. Working with a second dealer we learned that the problem was caused when the cooling fans turn on. The car was first in the shop at 4K miles to fix the light flickering problem and the alternator was replaced by the dealer per some service bulletin, this did not fix the problem. Lights flickering and excessive oil consumption. Absolutely love the car and have experienced two of the common problems. This may help fellow Nissan owners.Bought my 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue new at 60 miles and now it is approaching 99K. Forgot to mention this fix was a 1997 Nissan Pickup. I am glad these forums and the internet does have value! Hope my rambling may help someone else in the same situation. After a few choice words I stood in shock as my thoughts of repair shops and dealerships using such a short cut to take advantage of some of us to a high repair bill! This fix seriously took me 10 minutes! It wasn't complicated or rocket science. I inspected it again and noticed to the left about 1 inch away was the same rubber grommet and a nut where I could have moved the brake switch over to the left and re attached it like nothing happened. I went and got a quarter inch bolt and slipped it in the whole and viola! problem solved. Anyway sure enough the rubber contact point was laying in a pile on the floor mat! I looked at the brake pedal after charging the battery! and sure enough the contact had disintegrated and there was a hole where it used to be attached. I suspected the brake switch just like some of you!Įxcuse my grammar graduated years ago so no teachers to impress! lol. Hi, I normally don't join forum's but after reading on this sight things to check ( I am mechanically inclined to a point) just was looking for things i may have not thought of. The assemblies used to come with brand new sockets and bulbs. It's a very easy repair-pop the hatch and remove a couple of screws. If I had to make a wager, it'd be the sockets and tail light assemblies. The BCM isn't that big of a deal, but you will need a DRBIII factory scan tool to "marry" the BCM to the Jeep. When they go bye-bye, you might think that your Jeep is possessed! The lights will flash on and off in the middle of the night! Unfortunately you will need some specialized equipment for this. There was a big problem with BCM's (Body Control Modules). If you have the fancy "Automatic " lighting system it can get a little weird. Keep your eye on the cluster lights-when they're not working,neither are your tail lights! If not, check the fuse-they are on the same circuit. The very first thing I would check is that the instrument cluster lights are working when the lights are on. I usually don't use aftermarket electrical parts, but Dorman has made some good stuff and proved me wrong. They have come way down in price and I'm sure by now there are aftermarket solutions. The only way to properly fix this is by replacing the entire taillight assembly''italic text''. They often melt the housing they fit into and consequently lose ground. The most common is the tail light sockets. If it is the tail lights that are inop there are some common problems associated with this model Jeep.
