Awesome! I'm glad someone found some value in my post. I did it for just that reason. I've learned so much here I felt like sharing. Nice job!

I'm still loving this. Stumbled across this video that is almost exactly what I did. I bought my set a little more complete, whereas he built his a little more.

Great video Nice reference. Now, how do we tell by looking what gauge a wire is?

Oh wait, I see the mud. I stand corrected! That's about how much mud I had in my off roading video a week or so ago.

It works!

Hmmm.... I'll look for that this weekend.

I've never greased mine. If I have zerk fittings I have no idea where they are.

Love you Q Mr. Cox, but that's not a mud pic.

4x4 light came on all of a sudden
AlabamaDan replied to AlabamaDan's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
It came on today at lunch when I was running errands. I turned the car off and back on, no more light. So odd. I wonder if the wheel spin and little bit of dirt - maybe it engaged and somehow bound up a little and it needs to spin again to straighten out. (I know next to nothing about how the 4WD system works, but I think I read something about this.) -
So when people say "tap into" a wire, how exactly do y'all do that? You could use vampire clips I guess. You could strip a little wire back and solder on another wire there and then shrink wrap. You could find the connector and stick two wires in there with a new connector. Maybe another option? Also, PathyDude take some pics along the way. Can't wait to see it.

Could you tap into the dome light enough to trigger a relay? I like the idea. I was thinking you could run some led light strips under the running boards, or just under the body. If you tapped into the dome light, would they come on anytime you turned on the dome light? I'

I think it's important to state that I never had any issues driving... -
There was a bit more traffic Saturday, but I don't think it was local. Is it possible that I was picking up someone from Pittsburg all the way down South?

Welcome to the new members!

I would assume it has something on the inside of the quarter panel for reinforcement don't forget to get that. I know I'd love to have that on my QX4, I think it looks so cool.

interesting ideas. I'm in to follow. Where do the rock lights go, wheel well?

Well, I drove it around today to lunch, around the lake spillway, and to pick up and tree and back home. The light never came back on. It must have self healed? Ironically, just doing the things I did today were almost the steps on that list. -
This is about the only time wifey rides in the Quey anymore

1998 QX4 -
My 4x4 dummy light came on. The one on the left side of the instrument panel. What's that mean? Everything has been working perfectly. Last week I took it out for a little light trail riding with no problems. Today I was driving down an old driveway that someone had just dumped LOTS of gravel on and as I was backing up I slowly and barely spun a tire in 2WD. So I flipped it to auto after coming to a stop. Now this 4x4 light is on and I'm nervous. Help!

Okay. I have heated mirrors too. It's a rainy chilly day here and I turned on the rear defog. As I parked the car and was walking in, I turned back and checked the mirrors. They were warm and dry. So it heats them up too. Cool.

So if I run a new power sock with it's own dedicated ground and hot wire that should help?

Radio came last night. I put the magnetic mount right on the center of the roof and just to get it going I ran the cable through the window. With the vent visor rain can't get it. Works for testing. The features I liked about this besides the obvious ease of installation, small size, and portability are the weather feature and scan, which work great. I drove around for about an hour today trying to hail someone on C19 with no luck. I did hear one guy on C6, but I don't think he could hear me. He was loud and clear and preaching. I figure he's some guy on his powerful home base station. Other than that it was quiet. I thought when I got close to the interstate I'd at least hear something. I am getting some interference from the Q's electrical system. Turning on the radio immediately causes interference and I can't squelch it out. Wipers are the same.
