thats the shift lock solenoid doing its job like its supposed to.
Notice that when you dont step on the brake, you cannot get the shifter out of Park.
Step on the break just enough to hear the audible click, now you can move the shifter into any gear you like.
note that this is for PARK only, the shifter does not lock in any other position
thanks for the information, I thought I was hearing things when I first heard it but now that you say you hear it and a lot of others guys get the same noise ,then its normal they mention a way in the manual to get the little cover off then I could lube it up with wd 40 , but if its suppose to make that noise I wont take it apart leave well enough alone .thanks again.

yeah mine does that too, I imagine they all do
I just assumed it had something to do with releasing the parking pin, since you need to have the brake in to do this.
Not exactly something to worry about.
thanks a lot what a relief to hear is normal, I saw a section in the manual to do with a small screwdrive and unlock a shift release, but why do that then it could slip into gear and if you have a kid or a dog in the pathfinder its not to safe.thanks I knew it would be a piece of cake for guys like you that really get into these pathfinders , its my first and the next thing I wanted to do was change the oil and filter,but I think I have to remove a big plastic cover under the front.

question, if you don't mine but it seems you know a lot about pathfinders in this forum, question may be a piece of cake for you to answer. today while in park and engine running I step on the brake to release the shifter from Park on my automatic and I hear a slight click near the shift in the consol area ,step on the brake again same click ,then put it in drive no click ,put it in neutral no click, what do you think it is , it almost sounds like a solenoid click or the lock release that doesn't let you shift out of park without your foot on the brake,? anybody ever hear this little click sound ,radio off and quiet ? If you got an automatic try it let me know

It should work fine, the chip is only for starting the engine. If you get a remote start installed you most likely will have to give a chip key up for installation...guess where it goes?
Inside the car under the dash with the alarm, so that the alarm can "verify" with the OEM anti-theft that the car can be started.
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION

great info, I never realized there was such a variance in quality. I'm not too worried about the @!*%ty fram I have in there now because I'll just change it in a couple months anyhow, but I still don't feel that great knowing I have that Fram trans oil filter in there as it's going to be in there for a couple more years and I really don't want to drop the trans oil pan again if I don't have too because that was annoying....
I did find it weird though. The trans oil filter came with two gaskets. One was too large, and the other one was clearly for our trans. However the one for our trans was just built as a symmetrical gasket despite the front driver corner of the oil pan having an indentation. Doesn't make a difference, it still created a tight seal, just seems to be a sign of the overall quality and consideration put into the part considering it's an OEM replacement gasket yet the actual Nissan part is the proper shape.
youll be ok with the Tranny filter ,the problem was the oil filters and there bypass valves.

I use Pure-One filters, they are the high end Purolator, never had trouble.
yes your right about the Pure One filters ,they are good so is the Wix
-
K&N have good media, good seal, @!*%ty bypass spring
Puralotro, average media average seal POS bypass spring
Frame, Crappy media, crappy seal, crappy bypass spring.
I hae not cut apart a Bosh filter. But i have used them.. they seam to be OK.. I need to cut one apart and have a look.
yes and an OEM nissan filter .see whats in one of them

FYI,
Nissan oil filters are now made in CHINA.. sooooooooooooo
Personnally, i use Napa, Carquest, wix.. they are all made by wix.
wix are the best oil filters on the market and cheaper than the "name brands"
I've cut many oil filters apart and made my own desision on them..
do not use
Fram
Puralator
K&N
yes your right about those paper end caps inside the cheaper filters you listed , I got the right answer on my nissan oem filter , they say when the book calls for the shorter one 65f00, the mechanics say get me the 9e000 its a good fit and longer and better

I just bought a PN 15208-93000, on the box it shows that it goes up to a 1995 with a VG33E engine, I own a 2003 with a VQ35DE engine , is this going to be the right filter? for my 2003 V6

Has any one ever locked there chip type key in there pathfinder in there pocket book or ignition on or off condition? and then used your extra spare remote the one you keep at home to open the door? Will it work or will the chip key inside the car stop your spare remote from opening the door? just want o be prepaired for the unexspected ,to me its a bunch of crap to make the insurance companys rich [click click ,churp churp,flash flash ] wooopeeedo a 300.00 bill to get towed to the dealer for a lock out$$$$
-
when you have a new key made by a locksmith, does he program the new key to the old one ?
how does he program the chip in the key? and what about the key in the remote box, does he have to program that one also?

This is why Im glad I have no emissions testing where I'm at. Just anual safety inspection.
tHATS A GOOD HOLE YOUR IN , NICE PATHFINDER ,SAY WHAT OR HOW THIN DO YOU LET YOUR FRONT BRAKE PADS GET BEFORE YOUCHANGE THEM ,HERES WHAT MINE ARE DOWN TO 1/4TH OF AN INCH INSPECTION SAYS I NEED NEW ONES
-
Thanks , this makes a logical answer I hope your right because I don't want anybody ***ING WITH MY ENGINE IT RUNS strong as a tank and idles like a Rolls Royce.never heard of such a thing.u dont have spark plug wire on your 2003 because they have independent spark plug coils on top of every plug... no wires....
they check teh emissions using the OBD2 connector under your dashboard, fuel cap pressure test, and the tail pipe sniffer. The only thing they should do in the engine bay is a visual inspection.
-
when they inspect my wifes car the wires are in the open and they clamp a prob or something on the spark plug wire to check the emmissions, ON a Pathfinder my 2003 I cant see any wires, so how do they find the wire to do the inspection?
anybody ever watch them do it thanks if you know?

right a transponder key locked say in a car on the floor and you go to use your extra remote and it should open the door

Has any one ever locked there chip type key in there pathfinder and then used your extra spare remote to open the door? Will it work or will the chip key inside the car stop your spare remote from opening the door?

yes my remote starter box fell down and was hanging over my brake peddle so I pulled over and tucked it under some heavy wires by the steering colum , its staying there 2 weeks now , should I mount it up higher under the dash for any reason?

The problem with having a chipped key in the vehicle, is that the vehicle always thinks its time to start. Anyone could come along and just shove a screwdriver into your ignition and turn it. The vehicle sees the key and thinks all is well. I would either park in a garage, get a block heater, or just tough it out.
QUESTION: I just looked over what was under the dash and other is a 3x5 box with a kind of bubble circle on one side with a small hole in it like a microphone, and there is a red and black twisted wire coming out the side of it with some heaver wires next to the twisted red and black wires, and I could see the black antenna wire draped over the lock cylinder,If this is any help ,but what I'm worried about is if I start the engine with my remote and then put a flat key without a chip in it and turn it to the on position will my engine be totally shut down to the point of needing a tow to Nissan.

Even with the key away from the ignition
I think the key has to be directly into the lock cylinder for it to be seen by the black antenna wire draped over the cylinder lock under the dash , because they already have a chip key in the little remote box under the dash.

WHEN THEY say they need your car and your chip key to make another copy of your key, WHY DO THEY NEED THE CAR THERE, what do they actually do to program the key to the car? anyone ever see them do this.any one knows how its done? Do they plug a computer into your car or what? someone said the only reason they need the car there is to see if the new key they make up is accepted by your system in your car. ?

say where does it tell you the chip key code

2003 pathfinder LE has remote starter 1 chip key and a cut flat blank ,I called a few lock smiths and dealers for a new chip key to be made, the price is to high for me in my opinion $200.00 . so the next best thing is to Hide the chip key inside in a good place ,Tell the wife never ever remove this key with your pocketbook or its a sure lost key.
Hide the blank cut flat key under bumper if ever needed if wife looses the remote that opens the windows and door locks only it wont start it of coarse without a chip'
and use the remote to start it on a cold day and open and lock the doors , did anyone ever do this?
my automatic and I hear a slight click near
in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
