How did you replace this OEM wiring harness then? I'm trying to understand what this all means...... from what I read: The brown 3 wire is to the main power harness, ECU, etc The green and black is to the starter,

Can you post a pic of what that wiring looks like from the + to the starter? are there any fusible links there?

The truck is at the shop getting a new starter ...... the original problem was that someone removed all the fusible links behind the battery and one of the wires came loose that goes to the starter........ so I was there yesterday to look at the truck and it would start 3 out of 5 tries...... that tells me its still an electrical issue right? If its a bad starter, then its never going to work right?

so a bad starter just clicks as if the battery is dead? the dealership is trying to convince me my starter just suddenly died out of the blue.......

Any recommendations on what i should say to these morons? Are these fusible links the same harness that is in thispic? Thx

my point was that this is the only way to reproduce the sound.. I was just irritated that they're trying to deflect the issue saying that its normal... not that anyone *should* be hitting speed bumps at 25mph.. I do it all the time and its fine. Even in my NSX.. the road humps here aren't that big of a bump and most suv's can glide over them without disrupting the car... and for the record the speed limits on these roads are 35. Anyways back on topic.

Yea agreed....its Glendale Nissan dealership and I've argued with the service Manger for at least 2 hours over this...... and they pretty much forced me to replace the sway bar end links bc the bushings weren't installed in the proper order... They wouldn't just remove the aftermarket bushings and put them back on in the right order... anyways im pretty much SOL as they've already got $650 in parts & labor in this thing + the $330 starter that won't fix the problem... I'm going to go back on monday afternoon and show them the part numbers for the fusible links and make them show me where they go.... this is inexcusable.

I sent them an email with the above part numbers.... and to replace it if its not there.

I'll have to go back up to the shop and make them take it for a test drive.... ill be sure to take a video w my cell next time..

Took it back to the stealership to make them fix the noise since none of these new parts fixed the issue and I rode along with the technician over speed humps and told him to go over it about 15-25mph and he said "oh yea all trucks make that noise even new ones" im like seriously dude? wtf? and then he said "you're not supposed to drive that fast over speed bumps anyways" and then he said "its your front bumper that's loose" which makes no noise whatsoever.. then they said yea its $524 for a new bumper im like uh no. ugh....... then they kept going back to blaming the aftermarket parts... what else can i do? It sounds like an old spring somewhere that is rubbing up against something... hard to describe. And can not be reproduced by bouncing the truck by hand when its parked......so annoying.

so the stealership claims they fixed the wiring issue but now all of a sudden they say the starter is bad when I've had zero problems with it starting in the past minus these electrical issues. Sometimes it cranks find and sometimes it just clicks like a dead battery which doesn't seem like a bad starter. Also they said there are no fuseable links in or around the battery ......(!?!?!) so the truck is still there at the shop to get a new starter....

What is that wiring harness called and what do I need to replace it? Starter wiring harness? Obviously the green wire thats loose on mine must be the custom pushbutton start .....so I'd have to replace a few things.......

Yes I did see that brown loop but there.... I think it has to do with a few things...... #1, some ghetto wiring that was done for the push button start (who needs this in a pathy?) and the loose wires in your first pic... I dropped it off at the dealer and hopefully they can tear out all that custom crap and replace the old wies.. I thought that bundle of wires in your first pic was not OEM but apparently it is ...... what is it?

Omg thank you! Can someone please post a picture of what the wiring looks like around the battery? I'm dropping it off at the shop tonight as I can't be stranded in the middle of the street during my commute... thanks again Alkorahil!!

Luckily I was able to stick that green wire back in and the truck starts... I just want to find the proper wiring harness for this thing and be done with this......

I made the mistake of removing that green wire coming out of that mess or harnesses last night and the truck wouldn't start. So I think its some sort of jerry rigged kill switch as a part of some old ass alarm system. Can anyone give me part numbers to replace these wiring harnesses with OEM parts? I want to rip all this crap out and clean it up...

No the terminal is very tight - anytime I touch the wires coming out of the green thing or the black thing next to it the truck dies.... I have no idea why its setup this way I just want to get it fixed....

Anyone?

http://www.enkrypted.com/20130405_151250.jpg I found out what is causing the electrical cutting out - see the green tab on the right... what is it? as soon as I touch it, the entire truck dies... no juice to anything...... how can i possibly fix it? when i hit any big bumps the truck dies... I have no idea what that is...

I'm having the same issue but it just dies for no reason. Did this to me twice today.... the 2nd time it was in the middle of traffic and I popped the hood to check for loose battery cables as there was no juice lighting up the dash lights.... I'm guessing it has something to do with that mess of wires near my battery. It also does it if I take a hard turn or if I hit a big bump... ugh I wiggled the rat nest of wires behind the battery and it started back up..... wth?

Or is it just from understeer? the rear wheels pushing the front wheels while turning making them squeal as if power is being delivered to them? And yes I have an NSX and the tires squeal all the time but not the front ones when I'm accelerating and that car has 3x more power than the pathy.

yes I know that the slick pavement will make noise on any tires when turning but I'm talking about when I hit the gas, the front tires squeal not the rear which doesn't make any sense....... since it should be RWD in 2H.

When I engage 4H it seems to make a difference in handling (heavier steering, wobble on tight turns etc) But when in 2H, and driving inside a slick concrete parking deck, I can hear the front tires squeal when I accelerate..... or is this just under-steer? I guess the only way to tell is to jack up the truck and ensure that the front end is not turning when in 2H but is there anything else I can do? I just had the front axles replaced... but not the hubs - could the hubs be locked up somehow? Even if they were, the transfer case would not be sending power to the front diff right?...... thanks

LOL I'm always down for more socks! hahah why wash them when you can just buy new ones? hahah... I've heard mixed reviews on the PC3K's and that they don't have the dust boot is kinda annoying..... i want to be able to hit those road humps at 30+ mph and not notice haha i can do that now with my rancho 5000's but on the street it finds every crack and crease and makes it sound like i've fallen off a cliff...

I have to drive on this very unmaintained road to go to work and my new rancho RS5000's just transfer every bump to the entire chassis..... are there any other options to make the ride more comfortable on the street? On the highway its great and smooth and the body doesn't bounce like it did with the old OEM ones but since I live 4 miles from work, I need something that's more compliant...... thanks
