flnl Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) It's the electronic adjustable shocks switch, you can set them to sport (firm), or comfort/touring (soft). It's an optional, part of the Sport Package or something like that. Edited May 4, 2007 by flnl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pathfindero Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 its probably just a dead switch by now, look by your shock mounts and see if theres any remnants of a pigtail there. i took mine out and now the switch for my foglights resides there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

govols74n Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 ive got one, and its been not working or it works and I cant tell the difference for a long time. Like flnl said, check the top of your shocks and see if they are plugged in, or if they even have wires coming out....they work when new but the shocks cost too much for me.

adamzan Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Holy, am I the only one who had working adjustable shocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Holy, am I the only one who had working adjustable shocks? Mine used to work when I bought the Path, although not as good as a new one. But now, more than 3 years and almost 40k miles later, I almost can't tell the difference in the front shocks, and the rear ones are really shot.

MikeV Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 my switch didnt work either so i took it out went to a junk yard and got a plug for it later i switched shocks out and covered the plugs with caps that fit it from me job Mine worked up until the Rancho RS-9000's went in a couple months ago, could definately tell the difference between the 2 settings at highway speed.

purdyboy89 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 well mine is supposed to have one of these switches but i have searched everywhere and it is no where in site? think it might have been taken out/replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91path Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) use touring in cold weather to soften the ride because the cold air stiffins the shock absorber movement and sport in summer to stiffen the ride because hot weather increases absorber movement. i can usualy tell the difference :tonguefinger: if you turn key to on and select sport or touring you can hear it click both ways. i think it either adds or removes air to the absorber to stiffin or soften the ride, or absorber movement.

GhostPath Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 No, it doesn't add or remove air. The Nissan factory adjustable shocks have a little motor or solenoid inside that changes the valving based on the position of the selector switch.

Paffphinder1989 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Mine work and I love them. when I'm driving I'll have them on comfort, but when I want to have a little fun with it I throw it on sport. BIG DIFFERENCE, mine definitely work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
