Terranovation Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Went to reverse and gear stick wouldn't budge. Had to push safety switch next to the gear lever down to get it to reverse, which it does. This is an auto trans and fluid is clean, is there a way of resetting the safety switch?

Jmoor85 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I do not know for sure on pathfinders but I know on my neighbors car there is a switch on the brake pedal. Theirs was burnt out. It sends a signal when pedal to pressed to the trans letting it know it can change through the gears. This might be your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Aha yes when you press the brake pedal, there should be a click noise as the P is disengaged, I will look into that. So the switch should be somewhere near the brake pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terranovation Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 All fixed, it was just a blown fuse. Found in the fuse compartment next to drivers seat, bottom row 2nd from the right, 10a red fuse. Phew lucky I didn't have a burnt control module! I've seen it's happened to a few other owners. Reverse is working again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
