thats the thing i have no idea if its stock or not it looks like it belongs perfectly with it. it also started after i got it but only when it was cld outside now it just does it all the time. and i don't have a spare radio or anything i tried to take the one out of the hardbody we have but its completely different like only wired for two speakers and stuff. i mean it does need new speakers big time but i don't want to take it in and then get it back and they say we don't know why it does that bla bla bla.

ok so when i turn my radio on (maybe the stock one, its old with casette player...) there is a really louch screetching wining noise coming from the rear speakers just an eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and its really loud. it will go away if the radio is on for like an hour. it will not go away by using the fad or balance thing to turn off the rear speakers. so i opened up my console thingy and took the radio out and have been playing with it, on the rear speaker plug ther are two black wire one with a white strip and three brown ones the black strip white strip and solid.... if the black striped one is not conected but the others are there is no sound to the back speakers or the screetching. there is a plug with pink wires and the plug is blue but it wasn't hooked up to anything. on the radio itself the little schematic thing it looked like the browm with black wire is supposed to be running to an amp. how do i fix this? cause if there's a short in the wire somewhere getting a new system wont do anything for me.

at the army base down here there are always people selling their cars and at one point i saw an 89 supra turbo t top thing that was white and oh so pretty for 5000 but i'm poor and have no money. it was screaming at me to get it too. its the same year as my pathy and my birthday ha, and its just a hot car. but as far as those 90's ones and the skylines that are already in the u.s. they are so expensive.

i'd like to say on my pathfinder and xterra and really old land cruiser. they all have instructions on them on how to shift them into four wheel drive. the nissans are in the visor over the driver side and the cruiser is on the glove box. and the nissan do say stop and put into nuetrul and push the t case lever... i've also never heard a grinding from any of these rigs going into 4 lo.

Damn Viqueens
Good to see another midwest Pathy, once you swap out the auto hubs you'll be modding it alot, mine was a daily driver for years. 75 mile commute to work made me get a lil car also once gas went crazy.
have to get together sometime for some wheeling (Gilbert sounds good, never been there)
I'm in Milwaukee so if your ever in town give me a heads up; 5 minutes from Milwaukee Zoo, Stadium and 10 minutes to Summerfest.
Only negative is 2-3 hours to closest wheeling;-(
Welcome!
Mike
sumerfest wahoo!!! anyways welcome. after that rust coment whats the rust situation on your pathy?
-
Wouldn't the police have done this already, as I'm sure they are the ones who found the truck?? They follow every lead they can, right?
B
depends on priority of all the different things going on. right now they recovered his car so if there a bunch of other more high priority things going on like murders and junk they wont unless he pushes them to do so. sad but true.
-
thats kinda random they take one shock. glad you found it though. you have more details about the key thing?
-
red two door wahooo!!!
-
what is it? i've never heard of it except on this forum. also where do you get it?
-
mine are really flexible so i've never had a problem with them wheeling. actually when trying to get the car dirty and spray it with mud its pretty hard i think because of the mud flaps lol, i usually get the backward looking pattern in the middle from the rear tires entering the mud.
-
that is a very nice looking truck. the tires look a little comical though. you should definately be good to go after you do those engine things you have planned. i had that done to mine right after i got it too and everything is great.
-
go for it. i'd look pretty sweet in the urban colors i think.
-
There is a switch on the dash that will let you start the truck without the clutch engaged.
do you mean the interlock? yeah the pickup doesn't have that,
-
mine an auto but don't the manual trannys have an inhibitor switch to keep you from starting it while the clutch is not depressed? Perhaps this is a source of the problem.
yeah i assume they do and the clutch is old, i can check my repair manual to try and figure out where that is i guess.
-
I think the older ones carried a ground wire to the starter solenoid as well. You can check this by doing a continuity test from the plug to body ground. Test each wire and you should find one that does not read as 'open'. Double check the other to see if it has 12V on it when the ignition is turned to start. You want to hook your jumper wire to the spade that corresponds to the ignition wire in the conenctor. You will then need to put a lead on the other spade and clip that one to the frame if, in fact, it is a ground wire. Then proceed to hit the first clip lead with hot from the battery.
Don't those old D21's have an ignition starter switch? Perhaps that is shot.
i don't know. its set up the same way at the pathfinder, push the clutch turn the key and start it. turn it off push the little black button by the key to get it al the way out. my dad thought maybe it has somethign to do with the ignition but i don't know anything about it. so i asked here since they're so similar.

jump testing the starter is pretty easy.
If you have the starter installed:
DISCONNECT YOUR COIL WIRE (you do NOT want it to start unexpectedly)
Hook a jumper cable to your + terminal and drag the other end under the truck (don't let it ground).
Reach up and pull the trigger/ignition wire off the starter solenoid
Put a clip lead on the terminal post on the starter solenoid (make sure it is isolated from ground)
Test by touching the clip lead to the jumper cable. This will bypass the entire ignition system.
If this tests ok, remove the clip lead and plug the connector back into the starter solenoid and try using the ignition key. If this works, you know nothing. If it doesn't, the problem is in the ignition circuit and could be a relay, inhibitor, connection, etc.
is this what you were talking about? there's two wired conected to the starter which one is trigger/ingition wire and whats a clip lead?
-
duh
-
Double check all connections are clean and tight. Still personally leaning towards starter though
what all conections?
-
so we also have an old 86 hard body pick up 4x2. it wont start. new batttery and we pulled the starter out and had it tested it was fine. when you turn the key you can hear some kind of click noise coming from where the started is. any ideas why its not starting and how to fix it?

Watch for the rust that starts in the seam under the rear seat. Removing the carpet in the luggage compartment is the best way to ascertain damage. Perhaps that is impractical when shopping.
Close inspection of the rear frame and wheel wells should give a good indication as to the shape of the chassis.
One other thing. Ideally, you want Lady, City Driven. Metrosexual, City Driven is also good.
Crawl underneath and look for off-road scratches; you shouldn't find any.gotta make sure the transfer case works though....
-
Judging from that picture, I say the damage is minor.
If the frame is good, it will still drive straight.
and i've seen people with worse who wheel it, they like having beet up trucks for their offroading.... so have some fun with it still if you can.
-
thanks, these look pretty helpfull for me.
-
glad you walked away man. out here in az though, nice and dry, not as much of rust problem and no added things like salty snow to make it worse. the place i got mine from had had a nother one awhile back so they're here good like finding one that suits your needs. there's that guy out in ca selling a really pretty 87 with a roll cage in the back instead of seats on here...
