Soccerstudd5 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the factory amps were in the back side panels by the hatch and what you cut the wires to was the ECU. So as Kiwi said, gotta rejoin all those wires.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 LOL me being the dumb ass cut ALL the wires to the chasis brain, not knowing it was the chasis brain's...(thinking it was a factory amp. (under the passeneger seat) i cut some of them to small to strip and re connect. Ok, now that I am done laughing... You have two options. Splice, the wires back together or get a section of the wiring harness from someone parting out a truck so you have more to work with. The short wires, can you simply solder and tape them up instead of stripping and crimping a connector on? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Oh god. I hate to laugh. But damn. I lol'd hard. But yeah. only thing you can do is splice them together the best you can so nothing comes loose. Next time, do some research before you start cutting wires to avoid something like this.

packie88 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 i would not use crimp connectors on this at all. i would be soldering ever single one of those wires back to the other wire to be sure i had a decent connection.. i hate laughing at other mishaps but dang dude you kinda walked into this one.

kiwipete Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I forgot to mention that you MUST solder the wires and place small heat shrink sleeves over the joins. Please do not rely on insulation tape unless you can be sure it will not unravel and cause a short! Take your time and do a good job of it.

Toby Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 there should be no reason for the solders to get that hot,if they get that hot the pathy will be on fire... I've seen a hot day where it's weakened the solder. Like a really hot day. poor quality solder more than likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I high nickel rosin core solder should hold fine. If it got hot enough to melt solder you'd a broke down long ago because your ecu is FULL OF SOLDERED CONNECTIONS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunatic Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 does anyone have a diagram cause i've noticed there is like 4 different black wires. any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Well, you are probably going to have to back trace all the similar wires, to see where they actually run (or get s circuit finder, but even then you need to find the location where that wire ends). For the diagram, look at a FSM, or other manual(Haynes or Chiltons). You can download 94&95 manuals from a link in the garage section, but they are slightly different ECUs than 93 and older IIRC. When you have time, add your self to the list in this thread: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3050&view=&hl=self alley&fromsearch=1 Edited December 7, 2009 by GrimGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunatic Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 do you think that if i took it to a nissan dealer they would hook up the right wires?
