Your battery specs are in the FSM I referred you to. Help comes to them who help themselves....
-
Clean all your connections, posts etc. Make sure your cables are in good condition, if not replace them. 90% of the time it is connections and not the alternator or battery (unless the battery is past its lifespan).
-
Just go to this homepage and look in the "Garage" forum and look for the thread that has the FSMs (factory service manuals). You can download it onto your computer.
Here, this will make it easier for you....http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/26616-factory-service-manuals/

Others know ALOT more than me on the subject but if the components are in good condition I would sure think cleaning and regreasing everything would be the place to start. As for me I am buying manual hubs as soon as possible....

Welcome to the forums! I too really like that color... Lots of good guys here to help with your questions, they have already been invaluable to me!!
-
Here you go. I pulled this out of the FSM I downloaded from the Garage. It is available to everyone I suggest that you have one on your puter, Almost any info you need can be found in the manual....

Just FYI, front and back regulators are NOT the same, no even close to the same length. I was at P&P today and was curious in case my fix doesn't hold...I think the Rear motors/regulators are the same as the front - by which i mean its the same part number, front or back door.

Welcome to the forums!!

I will document it for sure. Like you said, never enough data!!
-
Thanks. I think I will try the heat and bend option....

Thanks! I will go over to my buddies house and get some dims off of his coils and check out the thread with the coil spring specs.... In the meantime I went to P&P today and yarded the springs off the front of a JGC. The whole process was about 45 mins, the majority of that on the first one to figure out what I needed to release to let them fall out the bottom. If I had to do it again I bet I could get both out in les than 15 mins. Easy Schmeezy. I know there is a thread with pics on where the pigtail was cut off but for some reason I cant access the images. Can somebody post those again or just tell me where I should cut them? I am guessing about where they come to full diameter but that is just my attempt at logical reasoning. If it looks like those Wrangler springs will work you may see these in the flea market for cost...My digital calipers say these a .563 thick

A buddy offered me the springs off his 2000 Wrangler Laredo, will they fit on my Pathy?
-
Thanks guys. I never thought that rattle could come from somewhere other than behind the dash but it could easily be coming through the vent..... I will check that. I've been wanting to open up the vent clean out anyway. Thanks again! Second tank of fuel on the Pathy, first one was abt 17 mpg, this one was 18, mixed city and highway. I wanna try to up that some,

When I changed mine all I did was pull the drain plug. About 1 gallon came out, I installed a tranny cooler and put 1 gallon back in. To bring it up to the high hot mark it ended up taking another quart. I should have pulled the pan but the fluid looks perfectly clean so I ain't sweating it. YMMV

I've seen a Yota all bedlined, I think it looked cheesy but if your paint is all f'd up....

I thought that could have been the case seeing I could not find any online. All done and windows work fine. I will probably do a mock up procedure in the next week or so as soon as I am sure the JB Weld works. Heck, I have fixed a cracked VeeWee block with it, it should hold a window regulator together....

Do your power windows not work? Can you hear the motor working but window doesn't move or stays in the down position?
I did a search and found ZERO aftermarket sources that had the back passenger regulators for a 4D. I am sure they are available through Nissan($$$) but figured I could fix them myself.
This is the problem area: The tab on the cable breaks loose from its plastic housing and no longer ties the window to the regulator.
I just pulled the regulator, cleaned tab and housing area where the tab sits with brake cleaner and used JB Weld to reconstruct (probably better than original) the seat and contact between the cable and regulator housing.
If anyone is remotely interested in this fix I can take more pics or even film the procedure but it is pretty straightforward. Here is a pic of the problem area and the regulator laying on my dining room table curing, ready for reinstall in 5-6 hours. I will be starting the drivers side this afternoon, I just cant decide if I should document it or not...

Man, I hope you find your issue. Sounds like you deserve a break! Don't give up, you'll get it....
-
++ on distributor. My first thought when I was reading the post and not the first time I have confronted that problem. One thing I don't know about the Pathy (yet) is what controls A/F mix on cold starts. Another possibility.

Welcome JJ. I look forward to some suspension mods too, I have some Jeep buddies that want to "show me how". I have been off roading and 4 wheeling for years, albeit a number of years ago, cant wait to put the Pathy through its paces.
-
Welcome Jake! I am pretty new to this forum and Pathys as well. I have gleaned a lot of info from the guys on here, they are always willing to help and have gotten me headed in the right direction with mine. Nice to hear about your buddy in the Jeep, a buddy of mine with a YJ is giving me crap. I hope after a few suspension mods I can prove him wrong too !!
See you around the forums....

Yeah, I hear ya. I just can't justify even 20 bucks when you only need every few years and one more thing to clutter the garage...

I have always hated having to buy a pump just to change diff gear oil, T-case fluid or any other inaccessible fill holes...
Made this today in about 3 minutes in expectation of changing my T-case fluid. Looked so good I left it for now but thought someone might like this idea or at least give them a giggle!
Wasn't it Mae West that said "Just put your lips together and blow..

Nice! Since I like to run an inverter at the campsite for power (stolen along with my gel cell in my D21) this makes great sense. I like the idea that both will fit, hopefully this works on a WD21 too. My list of "need to do's" is getting long but this is definitely on the list. Thanks for the write up and pics!
