Common problems and easy repairs on a 2005 Altima
The 2005 Nissan Altima S has some complicated procedures when it comes to the lights. The headlights will require the grille, the wheel well lining, and their entire housing to be removed in order to change the bulbs, which won’t allow for reliable access. Changing the tail lights is problematic as their bulb housing is obstructed by various linings and fasteners. The cabin air filter is challenging to replace, as well, as you’ll need tools to first disengage the glove box for access.
However, the rest of the 2005 Nissan Altima S is relatively easy to maintain. The engine coolant reservoir has unobstructed access that will allow for reliable monitoring of the fluid levels. Fixing a flat won’t be a problem as the spare and jack kit can be reached without hassle. The engine air filter is easy to change as it can be reached without the use of tools.
