When my negative battery terminal was cracked and loose I had exactly the same problem. Like has been suggested above, check the battery terminals for looseness or corrosion.

Sent my money too

What part of Alabama are you in? There's a junkyard near me that has a couple HBs and pathys. There are also several of each at the pull a part in montgomery. I'm in the southeast near Troy and enterprise.

I've never seen black, but you left tan off that list. I can't remember the color code for it. I will get the light gray sample to send in since I will be getting light gray for mine.

I thought it was odd that you were saying there is no relay so I looked at the FSM again, apparently the Canadian models don't have a relay but the US models do......at least for the 95 year. I wonder why they did that?

If you have 12vdc on the solenoid wire (black/yellow?) then there is no need to bypass the ignition or relays. If you've run a new power wire from the battery to the starter. You should do what was suggested above and look at the negative battery cable, look at the strap that grounds the engine to the body as well. It could just be loose, or could be heavily corroded and need replacing.

The one I replaced was on my dad's 95 HB. Has 281k on it. It wasn't leaking after all those miles! It was the back of the oil pan leaking but we replaced it since we were there and had already bought it.

Autozone calls it the rear main seal. I put one on just yesterday.

nice work, that looks really good

That's nice. I really gotta do that

I don't, but nico has them http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/pathfinder/

I've got some stuff for a 95 pathfinder, but nothing newer

I've been wanting to do the floor of my shop but just can't bring myself to dump 6-800 on it yet.

I left you a reply over at infamous, but there are a lot more canadian owners here so they may be able to confirm how the DRL should properly operate. Guys, what i told him over there was that the FSM for a 97 HB explains that the DRL should be off if you crank the truck with the parking brake on. But once you release the brake the should come on and stay on regardless of the parking brake. And of course normal headlights override the DRL. I don't have an FSM for a 93, but on a 90, it makes no mention of the parking brake and it isn't in the wiring diagram. Is the parking brake function common to all years or did they add that at some point? It seems to me like his problem is actually with the passenger headlight NOT turning on with the DRL so the drivers headlight is getting the full 12vdc instead of splitting it with the passenger side.

Any of the hardbody buckets will bolt right up as will the wd21s. The frontier I'm not sure about but they should be pretty close. You can make anything fit with a welder.
