    Dash backlight issues... any thoughts?

    in The Garage

    Posted

    So have a weird issue that's been happening over the last few months, my dash backlights come on with the key but dimmed until you actually turn the headlights on which they then turn on properly. Any thoughts on why they are coming on dimly when they shouldn't be on at all until headlights come on?

    Power steering resevoir leak

    With truck on and cap off the little filter bit rises up to top and if you try take it out it will push fluid out the top fast. Tried bleeding method as per fsm but either i did it wrong or it didn't work

    Had a wee incident a few weeks back that saw my pathy in a sticky situation (Aka on its side)

    And since then it has developed a leak from the top of the power steering resevoir. Any thoughts folks before i start the process of elimination?

    R50 & WD21 Automatic Shifter wiring

    Posted · Edited by stovanovich

    Any pictures? Did the shifter floor panel panel just bolt right in? I am considering doing the same thing.

     

    Na I went to the junkyard and grabbed another WD21 floor panel, cut the studs off, blocked em off and put new ones in for the r50 shifter. Still haven't had any luck on the wiring side of things either (to be fair I haven't really bothered having another look at it but it would be nice to have selectable overdrive again as it turns out even that wiring didn't add up right haha) let me know how you get on!

    R50 & WD21 Automatic Shifter wiring

    Hey everyone,

    Hoping someone can shed some light on the following as I am finally getting around to completing my R50 - WD21 shifter swap.
    Does anyone whom has done this know how to wire up the shift lock mechanism?

    What I have found so far:

     

    The R50 has only 1 Blue wire & 1 Black wire (ground)

    Whereas the WD21 has 1x Red, 1x Blue & 1x White.

    I've already managed to wire up the light & O/D as they were on the other harness of the WD21 but this is the confusing bit.

     

    Any help appreciated. :happy:

     

     

    Factory Trans fluid temp Sensor WD21 wiring location?

    This may have been covered before but I am going to install a Transmission Fluid temp gauge whilst I'm upgrading all my cooling system & trans cooler.
    Does anyone know where the factory sensor wiring is located & whether I can tap into this for my gauge? I know the sensor itself is located in the oil pan but was hoping there was better access to it a little closer to the engine bay / dash.

    Failing that I'll just do what everyone else has done and run a brass T fitting into the pre-cooler line.

    What did you do to your Pathfinder today?

    Front end click... Driving me mad, what could it be?

    I've just assumed that all of them do it.

    Mine makes the same sounds. Make sure everything is greased well and moves without binding.

     

    Though I've got a strong suspicion that it's the inner tie rod on mine, there is no longer a boot there. I just keep her greased every couple months until I can get enough money together to redo the front end.

    Yeah gonna give everything a good going over with grease, according to service manual the torsion bars need greasing? Seems odd but I'll try that as I've replaced tie rods, balljoints & now strut rods since it started all with brand new components.

     

    So possibly sounds like something is shifting when you turn the wheels?

     

    A common issue with that is the front diff mounts being a little loose. May go over them and make sure they're tight. How are the inner tie rods (centerlink)? Ball joints?

    Ah, I'll have a look at the diff mounts, that's something I haven't checked yet.

    Tie rods are all new components since the noise started only thing in the steering that hasn't been changed is the steering box / pitman arm.

    Definitely not rotational more like something needs a grease (not steering stops as it does it prior to these touching)
    I've heard clicking CVs plenty before this is more a singular click whilst turning the wheel at less than 5kmph eh when reversing out of garage or parallel parking. not all the time either, just enough to annoy me.

    So I've been chasing this click sound for a while! Changed different bits under the front end as a result and stil to no avail. Only does it when moving very slow and turning the steering wheel eg: Parking or reversing out of the garage seems to click on Drivers side. Anybody have some extra thoughts on this?

     

    So far the following has been changed for brand new parts:

     

    • Tie Rods
    • Idler Arm
    • Strut / Compression rod bushings
    • Shocks

     

    I'm at a loss now as to what it can be, I was certain it was the strut rods.
