A deer ran into the front of this car going about 45 mph. Damage was
fixed by a body shop but they could not determine the cause of an
electrical problem:

  Power antenna does not work
  Keyless entry does not work
  Bose loses station settings after igniton off

Apparently there is a problem with constant power. Where/what could
the problem be?

Thanks for replies.

Did you check all your fuses?

Fuse No. 40 in the fuse block must be blown.  It is a 7.5 amp fuse

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply.

The problem is likely related to the deer collision. Prior to the
collision there was no problem. After the auto body did the repair
they notified me of the problem and that they could not find the
cause.

I personally did not check fuses but I assumed the body shop would
have while looking for the cause. I will check the fuse myself.

Thanks, but that one is OK. I didn't remove the others but from what I
could see on the surface of each fuse they look good also.

The antenna, radio constant +, and keyless entry all are connected to
the same fuse.

You may want to check here for schematics and further info:

Thanks for the link.

I had found an Factory Service Manual for the Maxima. Section EL had
some great info on the electrical system and I used it to try to
determine the problem over the weekend. It was fuse #40 but the
problem was that the fuse was missing entirely. Previously, I looked
in the fusebox and saw 40 stamped on it. I saw a 7.5A fuse next to the
stamped number and assumed it was #40. However, it was not #40 but the
7.5A fuse on the other side (#26). I inserted a fuse and the items
worked again.

Unfortunately, keyless entry still does not work entirely. I tried
resetting the stored remote codes but that didn't help. I got the
expected response during this procedure, the hazard warning flashed 2
times as expected after pressing the lock button on my remote during
the ID code entry state. This confirms that my remote is transmitting
and the control unit is responding. However, this procedure is done
while the key is in the ignition and in ACC mode. Maybe it is still a
constant power problem. According to the FSM fuse #11, 37, 40, & 65
supply constant power. I think #65 is under the hood. I am going to
check them and then follow the diagnostic procedure for a non
functioning multi-remote as outlined in the FSM.
