some auto part stores offer a AC bypass pulley, but if the AC compressor is the only thing on that particular belt than you can either remove that belt or take the compressor out completely.
Just noticed you have a 99 pathfinder, a manual I just checked shows the AC compressor belt has a tension pulley and that's it, so you would be able to just remove the belt, or the AC compressor and the tension pulley if you want it completely out

I would just buy some red bulbs, auto parts stores usually carry them, they might be LED but that would be even better
-
I'm not looking to sell any of them, if you want one of them I'll send you a copy, they are all in pdf. files unless noted

the 2 stage bars I had in my 87 worked very well in fact one time 4 wheeling the whole pass. side front fell, I though the torsion bar broke, turned out I split the lower control arm where the bar mounts, the only thing stopping the front end from dropping all the way was the secondary adjuster on the torsion bar.

yes it's a craftsman air tank, I had a smaller tank that a friend welded up for me, (pc. of steam pipe with ends welded on it), but a coworker gave me a gift card for sears so I bought that tank. I installed the air horns and system myself, I'm using a compressor I got from the junk yard, they are found in GM cars that have factory rear leveling shocks, cheap and plentiful, down here about $26, the tubing I got from the local Mack truck dealer, the fittings are available everywhere, only thing you really have to buy is the electric solenoid (valve), a tank, and the horn

yeah but the good thing about it is, once you take the VH45De intake and stuff apart and put it back correctly you can do pretty much anything!

some one has/had a 4 door with a CA18 from a pulsar with a turbo down near Miami the thing makes like 300 HP

you can buy the compressor with the clutch or without it, I would get one with the clutch that way you don't have to mess with it.Most auto part stores require you to replace the accumulator/drier at the same time as the compressor or they won't warranty the compressor. My tech told me the aftermarket rebuilt compressors suck and are only good for about a year, so far he has been right as in my Sentra I have replaced it 2 years in a row so far and it is making noise again, but now the auto parts store won't replace it.
Here is a good site that sells all the AC parts you may need, they are usually a little cheaper than the auto part stores:
this should take you right to the 97 pathfinder page

in comparison on my local auto parts page the compressor goes for $314

welcome to the site,Eh

Ok, and I verified it before I wrote the reply, except I looked in the truck FSM, that's my 15 year truck background showing for ya

damn I 'm good !! and I can spell too (from other thread), LOL

I'm up to 7.66 per day, that will go down now that I have to go back to work tomorrow, but I still have my 3 day weekends, no money and no life so I'll be here!!
7.7 after this one

it was from Europe I think, if you enlarge the video and look thru the drivers window you can see what looks like a head falling in, when the cat's body just goes limp and slides off the hood I lose it !!

last night while I was going thru mudding pics from this guys site, I saw a PT cruiser on like 44's or maybe military axles
you will have to go thru all the galleries but there are some good pics in here, redneck girls too!!
-
got real good at getting the starter out though, unbolt, move forward, flip over, remove, body lift helps!!
-
they may be but the 4x4 strut rod goes towards the rear and the 2wd goes towards the front so I guess that's why a 2wd and 4wd kit would be different

funny you should say that.....

both switches were plugged in, I guess I'll have to pull the rear door panel again and do some troubleshooting inside the door, maybe follow the harness back a little. Maybe the motor took a crap
-
I know that's what I meant, that because it is in the rear it looked like it would be a bit*h to replace with the engine installed
-
I had typed the same thing (about plans fr the truck) but than deleted it, figured I would just answer the easy question.
-
I was going to suggest the starter is going bad as my 87 did that years ago, one way you can test it is next time it doesn't start hold the key forward to the crank position and have someone LIGHTLY tap the side of the starter, the jack rod works good for this, don't ask,LOL - if the starter cranks it's probably the starter hanging up
word of caution on replacement starters I went thru 3 of them in 3 weeks before I got one that worked, first 2 were local rebuilds first one lasted 3 days, second one lasted a week than got a Beck Arnley one and never had another problem with it.

it all depends on what you buy and how you want to set them up, regular air horn kits consist of a compressor with a pressure switch that lets the compressor turn on when the tank pressure drops to a set pressure than shuts it off when it reaches a set pressure, a tank, a horn, tubing, fittings an air gauge and depending on if you want manual control the kit may have a pull chain type valve ( only good if the horn is on the roof), or an electric solenoid if you want to be able to blow thge horn using the stock horn button or a separate push button.
I don't have the pressure switch so I have to turn the compressor on and off when the tank needs more pressure, I have my compressor wired using 2 separate relays inline, these compressors from the GM cars (also available in some ford cars but have no experience, using them) have a vent feature which when installed in the car with rear leveling shocks allow the compressor to lose pressure when the load is removed from the trunk.
