#166 of 173 2002 Pathfinder Electrical problems by quil0105 Oct 31, 2009 (11:30 am)
I've had my Pathfinder for almost 3 years and other than poor fuel economy, I liked the car. In the last year I've replaced the battery twice, had it to two different mechanics looking for reasons why the battery goes dead. I believe I have some electrical problems. The alarm goes off for no reason after the motor is off, I'm unable to lock the doors while driving unless I use the remote, the interior light that is supposed to come on when door is opened has never worked and the cigarette lighter shorts out so I can't use it for DC power. I just replaced the battery 2 months ago and last night it sounded like it was almost dead when I tried to start. Am I looking at a huge expense? After reading all these stories I'll probably not buy another Pathfinder. Replies to this message: 99accent (Nov 03, 2009 9:38 pm)
#167 of 173 2006 Pathfinder SE high mounted brake light by wmass23boi Nov 03, 2009 (8:47 pm)
I recently bought a 2006 Pathfinder SE and LOVE IT! The only problem is that the high mounted brake light is so dim that it doesn't even look like it's working during the day. Infact, at night the only way to even notice that it is on is to be eye level with it when it is on... if you are in a car that is lower than mine or if you are far away it looks like it is burnt out. I have been told that it is an LED unit that would have to be replaced, but I'm not totally sure I'm trusting the mechanic I saw about this. I have searched the internet but can't find anything about this, or a part to purchase to try to fix it myself. Any idea how much something like this would cost me at the dealership? Any input would be very helpful:-) Replies to this message: 99accent (Nov 03, 2009 9:43 pm)

Replying to: wmass23boi (Nov 03, 2009 8:47 pm) If you want to save a lot of time and money ,either go to a juck yard and get the light assembly and hook it up yourself, or buy a led short length stop light ,jc whitney has them for $10.00 and just mount it above or below the original one and use the exsisting wires from the one that dont work.
#170 of 173 Pathfinder running light issues by caroline8 Nov 10, 2009 (4:35 pm)
Headlights working fine but the rear lights do not come on although rear directionals and backup lights work. I first examined the fuse marked "tail" that was located under the hood. It appeared fine, but I replaced it just in case. That did nothing. After reading Post #21, I took the plate off the steering column and sprayed everything with the appropriate lubricant. Still nothing. I pressed all the visible wires in there, even popped off a switch and put it back. Still nothing. Do you think it's possible that I checked the wrong fuse? I can't imagine 2 tail lights burning out simultaneously? Any other suggestions? I'm so discouraged. I haven't gotten under the car to examine the rear lights. Are there wires back there I should check? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: switchfixer (Nov 10, 2009 6:14 pm) dirtydiggins (Nov 12, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: caroline8 (Nov 10, 2009 4:35 pm) Hello,   Sounds like you need to go back and revisit post 21 one more time closely.   " I pressed all the visible wires in there, even popped off a switch and put it back"    Your headlight switch is bad, ie making faulty contact -If you can take the switch out again and rebend the contacts there should be four of them. If the contacts have lost original bend spraying them won't make a difference.   Good luck! Switchfixer Replies to this message: dirtydiggins (Nov 12, 2009 1:01 pm)
#172 of 173 Battery draining? by dirtydiggins Nov 12, 2009 (1:01 pm)
Replying to: switchfixer (Nov 10, 2009 6:14 pm) I bought a '95 pathfinder and everything seemed fine until the alarm started going off for no reason. My friend disconnected it, put a new battery in, replaced the alternator and the cable connectors. There seems to be something wrong with the charging system or some kind of short that is draining the battery. Any ideas as to what it could be? I am coming to my wits end.
#173 of 173 2005 Pathfinder won't start,could it be electrical? by countrygirl403 Nov 23, 2009 (8:10 am)
Vehicle began having problems after adding fuel. Started running rough and then quit completely. Thought it was fuel pump so changed it out. Started several times and then quit. Now it cranks like everything is fine, but does not seem to fire. Have heard there are problems with main fuse panel, could this be our problem?
