2004 Pathfinder power window problem by ulmp
Aug 03, 2008 (6:30 am)

We recently purchased a 2004 Pathfinder from a local dealership. The front power windows go down on their own and the door locks engage when the vehicle is parked and turned off. My son observed the turn signal lights in the front flash and the windows rolled down and the car locked while parked and off in our driveway.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be the problem? (besides the idea that it is haunted???) Thanks

Had the same problem last week on my 91, thought it was the starter so replaced it work about 5 times and started the same problem. I can hear the starter relay kick in (click) but not start. This time I jumped 12 volts to the starter solenoid (Blk with pink or vil stripe) and it cranked. I changed out the starter relay, the one that was clicking but that didn’t fix it. It did start a couple of times but the problem kept coming back. I found that this is common on the older Pathys. I also found on one forum how to fix it and that is replace the wire that comes from the ignition with one directly from the positive terminal. The starter relay is on the passenger side by the battery on my 91. I cut off the Blk with Yel stripe wire and spliced in a wire directly from the positive of the battery. Now I can’t tell you exactly what’s going on but it has to be there is too much resistance in the wiring coming back from the ignition or corroded contacts along the way. I have read all kinds or fixes attempted by replacing all the parts but still didn’t fix the problem. The fellows name on the forum I got it from was Reverse but I don’t remember the forum name. Don’t try to understand it just do it.

sounds like you have a lose wire, it could be a coil wire, or it could be a power wire to your distributor. Check and make sure all the wires leading to the distributor are secure at all ends. Also check to make sure you didn't accidentally knock any other wires or vacuum lines lose anywhere in the engine compartment.
 
A lose wire can do a lot of things, make the engine sputter, lose connection and kill the engine, surge, etc.
 
That's where I would start looking.

I also had a similar problem in my '97 pathfinder. The window rolled down and wouldn't roll up, so I took it to my mechanic in Florida. Turned out the pulley/gear coming from the window motor had come loose and fallen off inside the door. Ended up getting a "newly-rebuilt" window and pulley/gear installed for somewhere in the neighborhood of $60-$80.

95 Pathfinder won't start by rgorman

We recently replaced the waterpump on my 95 Pathfinder after it overheated on me. 2 weeks later it started running hot on me again, and we're still losing water from somewhere. We replaced the waterpump and thermostat yet again (after overheating it again); now it's not starting at all! It's turning over, getting spark and fuel but will not crank. Has compression on left side; but none on right.
 
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
THANK YOU!

i have a 97 nissan pathfinder... the windows did the same thing in mine and my power door lock on the driver side didnt work at all... for a while i let it go because it was winter and my windows were shut but only my driver side window was cracked a little but the windows wouldnt work the only good thing about it was that i have a moonroof and that was the only working window. i let it got till summer and it was about 100 degrees so i took it to a friend who said power door switch thing that controls all the windows and locks neededt o be replaced. pathfinders have lots of electrical problems.. believe me now i got a problem with my interior lights on my shitfing thing dont work at all haha.

okay i have a 97 pathfinder i had no water pump problems but a whole bunch of other ones.. but i did have a simelar problem to yours with it not starting... you probably need a new starter... because my pathfinder would start almost all the time than like when im at work and i gotta go homeat 1 in the morning.. it wouldnt start it would turn over all the lightgs would work... the raidio would work but the engine just wouldnt go... so u probably just need a new starter it cost me about 200 to buy it new..

I am having the same problem. we can not drive the car as there is no way of securing the car from the elements. Did you find a solution ?

fuel pumps by drh2061

I have just had my 06 pathfinder towed again. It has 5 new factory fuel pumps on it, the ignition changed, and the last time they said it was a problem with the smart key. Now they have had it a week and a half and said they unplugged and plugged the fuel pump wires and it cranked. They dont know what to do next and are waiting on engineers at nissan to tell them what to do next. Has anybody had problems like this?
