  1. Hi, i have a 1994 pathy. The radio works but i get no display. Cant tell what radio station i im listening to, lol Wodering if anyone knows a fix? Thanks
  2. This is great info! thanks a lot! npw off to the junkyard to pull a headlight switch!!!! if that one fails then I will buy a new one!! thanks!!
  3. Thanks everyone. I will try cleaning out the switch or replace it. Next time, I will search better.
  4. Hi I searched to see if a similar post could be found but not much luck My ldriver side headlight sometimes will not turn on at all. However if I flash the high beams on/off, sometimes it turns it on! Has anyone seen this issue before?
  5. Thanks everyone, you guys rock! I will be doing some major lube work on the pathy tomorrow! Hopefully I will be able to remove the filler holes in the transfer case, rear and front axle! I hear it can be a bitch! Also, thanks to you guys, I have been warned to remove the filler first!
  6. So I went to my local canadina tire to purchase some gear oil. According to my info I printed out, I needed to purchase Open differential - APL GL-5 SAE 80W90 for my open/or LSD differentials. However, the only oil I could find is API GL-4 / 5 compatible SAE 80W90 gear oil ( Canadian brand - Motorcraft ) Is this oil the correct one? I assume maybe I wrote down the name wrong as the bottle says API GL-5 SAE 80W90 not APL Can someone please verify this info? thanks
  7. Hi, I just would like to clarify the fluids for the front/rear differentials: According to a link in this site: Differential oil: Open differential - APL GL-5 SAE 80W90 LSDs differential - Use only LSD gear oil APL GL-5 SAE 80W90 approved for Nissan LSDs Transfer case oil - APL GL-4 80W90 - Am I correct to say that both front/read differentials are the same fluid? I can use APL GL-5 SAE 80W90 and be safe? thanks everyone.. just gathering my notes for my next weekend project!
  8. thanks! I guess I need to replace my T case fluids next!. from the reading I am done ( still researching the forums ) T case can use ATF just like the tranny. The front/rear axle uses gear fluids. I am checking a few links now, reading up. thanks again for your help
  9. Back! man, is it ever raining out there in BC right now, lol here is the pic. The roung thing ( looks like a metal cup, left of pic is toward the rear end of the pathy )and thats the sensor I replaced, where the dirty fluid came out of. thanks for your help! its much appreciated!
  10. Hi, I will go outside and take a pic of where the fluid comes out. I am being a bit dense / and confused I guess. I jsut want to make sure I understand correctly in order to change the fluid. I will be posting the pic in about 10 minutes
  11. Thanks for the reply. The speed sensor , unless I am mistaken, is located on the rear housing of my auto tranny - 1995 pathfinder. I did change the fluids of my tranny yesterday before the removal of the speed sensor. i will check again, but I am sure I am looking at the rear end of the tranny ( I am a noob mechanic , so couldbe wrong, lol )
  12. Thank you! i gratly appreciate the post!. I will order an inline filter or maybe two ( for my 300ZX TT ) and try it out!.
  13. Hi, So after reading the forum and armed with some knowledge on fluid types ( thanks to you guys ), I went off to the local auto part store and got myself litres of Mobil 1 synthecic ATF fluid. when I got home, I tried to remove the oil pan to no avail!. I managed to removed all the bolts of the transmission pan but for the life of me, I couldnt actually remove the pan at all!. Pan came on unbolted but the exhaust pipe didnt allow for a complete removal. Is this even possible? so, since I couldnt remove the pan, I went ahead and removed the magnet. To my very surprise, it was not covered much with dust particles, just a few passes with a cloth and got it shiny again. It didnt contain any big chucks of metal or anything. I then took a clean cloth and swipe the entire oil pan and didnt get much either!. so I am guessing my tranny is in good shape, so I hope. I measured the fluid I got out of the pan and it came out at 5 quarts. I replaced the fluid with Mobil 1 synthetic and a 1 quart of Lucas automatic transmission Conditioner. Is the lucas good stuffs? I also cleaned out the Throttle body, replaced the PCV valve as well. Hope the pathy is good to go for a while! Now I just have to change the front / rear axle with gear fluid as well as the transfer case!
  14. Hi everyone. I just replaced the speed sensor on my 1995 pathfinder but I noticed during the install that some pretty dark brown liquid came out. I read in this forum that its suppose to be tranny fluid but it sure looked brown and very liquid like. Not thick or anything but thin liquid. Do I need to refill the hole with a replacement fluid? If so, what goes in there? My speedo works again! I am just concerned on the fluid which came out of the hole during the removal of the old defective sensor. thanks again.
