I have a search going on Craigslist, and a 1997 Pathfinder came up today for $500. Naturally, I'm interested. It's going cheap because the guy says it runs fine for about 4 miles then dies. I can't fathom what would cause a car to die after it gets warmed up. Thoughts...?

My shop is once again looking into the issue because when I got it back it was the same; that is, reading 1/3 full when it was near empty. Shop owner seems to think replacing the instrument cluster would fix the problem, but at a heavy cost. New ones are over $700, and used ones are a difficult find...

I'm having the exact same problem with my 03 PF. I bought it last September and first tank I ran out of gas because it was showing 1/3 full but it was actually empty. Was relieved that this was the problem instead of a major engine failure. Still, taking it to the shop they replaced the fuel level s...

I had a similar issue driving my '03 into a parking garage. I was behind a line of cars, waiting on a slight incline. It stalled right there, with cars waiting in front and behind me. I rolled it down the hill and at level it started again, zipped up the ramp and parked just fine. On return drive ho...

Can the gauge ever be the issue? I just had my shop replace the sending unit, and it seems to act just the way it did before, which is to say the tank stays on full too long, and when it gets to 1/3 of a tank, is actually empty. I don't know for sure yet, since I filled up right after the repair and...

I have a 2000 SE that my daughter is driving. When a headlight went out a few weeks ago I replaced it and while testing I realized the factory fog lamps were not working. Now, I haven't checked the bulbs on these but I find it highly unlikely that both would be out at the same time. So...I checked t...

Hi Pathy friends, I'm shopping for a Pathfinder for my nephew, he doesn't have a lot of money, is 20 years old and doesn't know yet how to drive a manual transmission. I'm shopping the R50 (96-2004) Pathfinders for him, looking for something reliable. Mostly what I see under 2k usually has serious b...

Thanks guys!

So I bit the bullet and spent $38 in the hopes that the Bose amp on eBay would be the fix. I plugged the connector into the amp and presto - working rear speakers. What was not so obvious was how the amp was supposed to be mounted. After trying various screw holes that didn't line up I simply just p...

Livemeyer

Hey thanks those are some great suggestions. I'm going on the assumption that it was originally a Bose system too. The front speakers sound like they are amplified - the put out far too much rich bass for only being amplified by the Sony head unit. But I disagree with you about the Bose amp for the ...

Yeah I'm looking at some on eBay for around 50 bucks. I have a theory about the missing amp. The carpet in the rear cargo area is missing, and under the little storage bin in the floor it appears they didn't clean or detail and I found a ton of oily, sticky residue. I'm guessing at one time there wa...

I just bought a 2003 LE. Before previous owner traded in at dealership, the aftermarket stereo was removed. No problem, I have a Sony head unit sitting around so i put that in. Previous wiring job has the aftermarket wiring harness wired to the factory connectors, properly (and professionally, it ap...

I have the same issue with mine, although I'm not off-roading. I replaced the rear shocks, along with the front struts, and still, if I hit a wicked bump, I really feel it in the backside. I sometimes wonder if I did something wrong when I installed the shocks, or if I should replace the coil spring...

It turned out to be the fan switch. I bought one at pick n pull for $5, put an ohm meter on it, it tested good, swapped it in place of the original in the dash, and voila! working again.

Livemeyer

Yes, I didn't say if it was manual control or automatic for the A/C. It is manual, sorry about that. I figured since I indicated I was replacing the resistor it was a given that I was speaking about manual control... It was stuck on high (and no air conditioning) the entire drive back to WA from sou...
