  1. So I spent the day yesterday troubleshooting my 94 LE for the fuel pump not working. Put in a new pump and relay and still nothing. Traced the problem to the relay not getting a ground connection from the ECM. What controls the ECM to initiate the completion of the ground connection? Is there a sensor or something that tells the ECM to cut the ground and stop the fuel pump? I just cut the ground wire at the ECM and connected the relay wire to the grounding screw and it runs now, but would like to fix it properly.

  2. You access it from under the front fender. Just remove the plastic fender liner held in with a few screws.

     

    The hard part was fishing the wire into the dash. Then I figured out how to take it apart. Remove the glovebox. The two plastic stops that prevent the glovebox from flopping all the way open just push in. Now you have access to remove all the screws to the glovebox.

     

    You will also want to remove the plastic panel on the exterior sidewall down by the passengers feet and remove the dash panel to the right of the glovebox. It didnt seem that this piece came off easily at first, then I discovered just a couple fasteners holding it in. By removing this it makes it possible to connect the new antenna wire to the antenna wire that runs to the stereo.

  3. Fuses all checked out. Looks like there is a power antenna timer but I can't find it. Anyone know where this is? Looks like from the diagram on page EL-82 it is connector number 318M. If you are looking at the diagram it is on the very top of the page if you are looking vertically, or on the right if you look at it horizontally.

  4. I installed a new nissan factory power antenna on my 94 LE and it doesn't raise and lower. When I first installed it I had the plug attached but didn't have the antenna cable attached to the stereo yet. When I turned the pathfinder on and off the antenna went up and down like it should. I went about doing some other work under the hood and eventually got the wire routed under the dash to hook up to the stereo. Now it doesn't work at all. I also had the windshield replaced a while ago and noticed they did not install the new windshield with the antenna on the glass. I do have the connector under the passenger A pillar, but there is not a wire on the windshied to attach to.

     

    Is there a relay that controls the antenna motor? Where does the trigger wire (blue) from the stereo go that then supplies two wires to the antenna motor? What fuse circuit could be effecting this?

  5. Well I decided to get the 31x10.5r15 Trailcutter M&S. It is just a snow tire that should fit without any problems. I have them on my Silverado and they are great on the snow. If it looks like 32's would fit I can get them in the spring when I don't need the snow tires anymore.

  6. I have 32x12.5x15 on 8" w/3.75 offset rims with no lift, and there is minor rubbing at the front when I turn full lock, and in case you ever jump the Pathfinder, the front tires will slightly hit the front fenders upon a hard landing, lol.

     

    So with the 3" lift would your tires still rub or do you think it would clear okay?

     

    I don't have the lego rims, they are the factory 6 spoke aluminum. Would the backset be the same as the Lego?

  7. its on the driver side rear, pop the panel off behind the rear seat and there you go. IIRC 1 screw to get get it off. I didn't do the desolder/resolder thing I just hit it with a solder gun to melt the solder back where it should be and it's been fine for about 6 months now, really easy fix. If it happens again I'll to a desolder/resolder job

     

    I couldn't find the box. Can you be a bit more specific on where it is located on a 94 LE.

  8. It great when you let people borrow the car and you warn them but they don't listen. I can't tell you how many times I've told someone about it and then they lock themselves out of the car. Mechanics notoriously lock themselves out. One time I had someone borrow the pathfinder and they locked themselves out... they were so embarrased they hired a locksmith to come open the door rather than ask to borrow the spare key. I warned them!

  9. Okay, I've searched for the past hour on what size tire to use with a 3" body lift from 4x4parts.com. I'm looking for a good snow or AT tire (that performs well on snow). I'm thinking tall and narrow. My searches basically came up with a 31x10.5r15 on stock will fit without rubbing or 33's fit if you have both a 3" body lift and a 3" suspension lift. I'm in between with only a 3" body lift. Will 32's fit stock 15" rims without rubbing? I've got a '94 LE. Recommendations on tires and suppliers are welcome!

  10. The CFC program is a bunch of crap anyways. Why should my tax dollars go toward someone else getting a new car. One of my friends who doesn't have much money was extremely upset. Many of the so called clunkers are nicer than his daily driver and he can't afford to get a new car. So the government is making him pay for other people who have more money and nicer cars to get a new car on his nickel. He would have been glad to be able to upgrade his current ride to one of the so called clunkers in the dealer lot. Why shouldn't he have been able to bring in his car and just swap it for a better clunker than what he is currently driving?

  11. So this last weekend was pretty busy. Got a 3" body lift installed and waiting on delivery of a Kennisaw front bumper so that I can install that as well.

     

    Question is... with the Kennisaw bumper, I opted to not install new blinkers in the bumper and figured that I would convert the front marker light into a combination marker light/blinker. Has anyone else done this conversion? Are there any simple tricks I should know prior to going down to NAPA to try and find a bulb/socket combination that will work.

  12. Follow the AT troubleshooting guide for in the FSM? There is a link at the top of the Garage section for downloading it...

     

    B

     

     

    FSM??? I found a self diagnosis PDF in the Garage How To's... is that what you are referring to?

  13. Might be the TPS. I remember it kicked a code a while back for the TPS, but it hasn't ever come back so I thought it was just an old code that was never cleared out.

     

    I heard the TPS was a pain to install and set properly. Is that true or was I just given a line of crap?

  14. So a month ago a had the mechanic look a the transmission fluid and he said it looked good and did not need to be changed. Today we looked and found that the tranny fluid was a quart low.

     

    We added a quart and the problem of shifting is still apparent.

     

    The problem of it downshifting when you let off the gas happens whether or not the overdrive button is pressed. If you are cruizing at 55 then let off the gas it downshifts and revves up. Step on the gas again and it will correct the shifting and get in the right gear. If you really step on it, it will downshift properly and accelarate.

  15. While traveling at any speed and you remove your foot from the accelerator, the transmission shifts into a higher gear when you reapply pressure to the accelerator the transmission then shifts back into a lower gear.

     

    Any ideas on what is causing this?
