I just purchased a 95 Pathfinder and the horn won't work at the steering wheel but it does fine with the alarm system. The fuse is good and power to both sides would there be a problem with the horn relay or is this a wire problem?

| This problem is puzzling me. it started off as the light not turning on so i bought a new bulb. Months later, the light does not turn on again. So I changed and works for the next 5 min and goes off. when I look at the electrical connection contact that snaps on to the bulb i see the "ground" side is burnt. So I buy a new contact and the lights work for a month with new contact and new bulb. After checking my new contact I put in, the ground side is completely burnt off. So i buy another on and this time i ground the contact on to the body of the car. I am thinking the ground is not working. Well, with another new bulb and another new contact I waited a week before seeing the same symptoms. This time the bulb turns off and on. I am checking everyday to see any burns on the ground side but none so far, just the constant turning on and off on the left headlight. How do I fix this? | |
Hello, I have an 04 Pathfinder, does anyone know anything about what causes my switch to now just arbitrarily stop completely sliding my sun roof all the way back? Push switch, it will move it a couple of inches and stop, push switch, moves couple of inches and stops...til it gets all the way back open. Same thing happens when trying to close. My battery did go completely dead last week and had to install a new one of course. After replacing, I noticed my LED readout on the CD player which had not been displaying correctly before, all of a sudden started displaying the correct information. ????

I was using an air pump to blow up my bike tires yesterday. I had it plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet and it blew the fuse. So I changed the fuse and then plugged it into the rear power outlet so as not to blow the fuse again. The rear power outlet stopped working. I checked every single fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel and there aren't any other blown fuses. Is there not a fuse to this outlet that can be changed? Any help would be grealy appreciated.

Replying to: pathfiderowenr (Jan 07, 2009 9:44 am) Hello, I had the same problem on my 95' with the tail lights not coming on with the headlights or shutting off when driving (great no one could see me from behind). It's the turnsignal-headlight switch. I fixed this easly in 30 minutes. Underneath the steering wheel remove the 4 screws that hold the bottom half of the steering wheel bezel. Once you have those off you can lift the top half of the bezel a bit to get to the two screws that hold the switch in place. Remove switch and take inside your home / or shop. There is a plastic plate that covers the where the contacts are. That plate is about a 1 1/2" roughly square. I forget if it has screws or not , unscrew and or pry to pop that piece of plastic off. You will now see 4 or five contact legs. One for the headlamps 1 for taillamps and 2 turnsiganl contact legs. From turning headlights on/off alot they get unsprung a bit and will make little contact with the other mating surface. I used a small screw driver to bend them towards the inside of the switch so they could make good contact. Take the switch in your hand and turn it on , you will see a one or two legs that have lost some off the orginal bend to make contact (thats the brake lights, use a small screw driver or you thumb to bend then inwards a bit to match the other legs. You could also use a very small pair of needle nose to bend the legs downword towards the other mating surface. My tail lights worked after this fix and i haven't had a problem in the year that i did this fix. good luck it works! Take your time to understand where and how the contact legs go to make a connection. Those switches are too darn expensive but that is the problem SWITCHFIXER Also you could try to spray with a contact cleaner like some one else on this board suggested, Switchfixer
