Hate to bring up a dead thread but I have a similar problem. I have a noise from front end that sounds like lose belts but I am 99% sure it is not lose belts. I believe I have no 4wd but just realized this morning the green light is not coming on with the 4wd lever. Also mine is too easy to get into 4wd. Any thoughts about why the green light is not coming on? I'll check the hubs when I get home as based on my read of this thread that is the most likely culprit. Just wanted to find out if the green light not coming on would add to the possible suspects. My truck is pretty low miles 129k original miles.

thanks to both of you, I will inspect it tomorow, that is definitely where I noticed it from.

Hi All, when driven in city traffic my new 95 makes the transmission tunnel so hot it feels like the heat is on. If driving for any distance i notice it out of the 4wd lever and today the girfriend drove about 10 miles in the city and then came back to pick me up and it was very hot out of the e-brake area and had even made the egdes of the front seats hot. Is this normal? My car has an aftermarket transcooler up front and had the trans rebuilt about 40,000 miles ago. I know my transfer case leaks and have not checked its level yet. Any thoughts? Just curious if this is common/normal or if I need to get under there. Thanks

Thanks for all replies, all problems have been solved, this is why these forums are so great! Fog lights were fuse, horn and cruise were clock spring. I installed part all the way toward the column resulting in contacts being too far away from wheel. I loosen retaining clamp, pull it forward and retightened. Door ajar light was the common tailgate latch senser. I simply moved the catch toward the rear of the car. Problem solved.

Thanks Pav, I bet your right. I think openning the sunroof created a vacuum that sucked the tailgate closed a bit more. I never would have thought of that. So I have two of four problems solved. I did crank the wheel all the way to the left as you suggested and no horn. I had the wheel apart, replaced the clock spring with a good used part and cleaned the contacts on the steering wheel. I mangled the threads on the steering column a bit so would prefer not to take the wheel off again. I can't imagine the clock spring is still the problem, but if there are no other common causes I will try.

Thanks much! The fog lights were spot on. Fuse on the battery. The door ajar light did go away when pushed on the rear hatch several times. Where is the sensor? I see the sensor for the spare tire mount right on the body, it sounds like this one is under some plastic where the tailgate mates with the body? Thanks again, at least one of these was simple. I hope they all are. Edit: I found a post today linking to previous posts on the rear hatch. Now I am just worried about horn/cruise. Anyone had to trouble shoot these systems?

I have a 95 SE that I just purchased. Low miles one owner. This is my first pathy and Nissan. I have already done timing belt/water pump, plugs etc to get started with it. It was not particularly well cared for mechanically but is clean. I am very frustrated by the electrical gremlins I have discovered. First the cruise and horn did not work. I suspected electricals behind the steering wheel since both were affected. I discovered bad horn ring contacts on the unit behind the steering wheel. I replaced this and it had no impact. I noted that there is no cruise fuse but there is a horn fuse. It looked good. Seperately I replaced one fog lamp and noted that I have no juice getting to the fog lamps. Both the cruise switch and fog lamp switch light up in the cabin like they should be on, but somehow juice is not getting to them. I have no cruise light on in the dash when I attempt to turn on the cruise. I discovered several connectors dangling in the driver footwell. One of them was for the driver footwell light. I plugged this back in and discovered there is also a door short somewhere telling the car a door is ajar when it is not. I have played with all door sensers and there was no change. While riding as a passenger in the car I fiddled with the sunroof while driving and it turned out openning the sun roof resulted in the car no longer thinking a door was ajar I dont even know how this is possible given the simplistic nature of this sunroof. Being new to this forum I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place. I am simply new to pathfinders and wondering if others have experienced any of these symptoms as well and can offer advice. I am pretty good with mechanical stuff, but not as good with electrical. . . thanks in advance if anyone can help. Matt
