Thanks Slartibartfast! Yes the issue seems to be the timer. Turns out really hard to find one around here, so cleaning it up and resoldering sounds like a good solution. Found some cheap automatic hubs so put those on. Car is probably in better shape now than it has ever been since I've owned it (about 6 years). Thinking of selling it though when central locking is working... It's by far the most reliable car I've ever owned, but it's just using too much fuel. Not too bad on longer trips, but around where I live (mountains, curvy roads) it's nuts. And fuel is EXPENSIVE in Costa Rica. ( I hear you think "and you just bought a Range Rover!?" but that has an Isuzu diesel engine. What actually made me realize how much the Nissan uses.) If I find a good diesel Pathfinder sometime I might get back into one though!

Thanks fellows! Sorry it's been a while. Acquired another project that kept (and is keeping ) me busy ('85 Range Rover). The auto hubs are beyond repair. Been looking for used manual ones but now found some nicely priced new ones. Also fixed the door hinges/pins, put new weather strips on front doors, new shocks in the back. Car is getting back into shape! Next issue: central door locking. Just doesn't work, only when it's super humid it works OK! Doors also always lock themselves, usually when closing the passenger door. Because it works when very humid I'm thinking a bad contact or something. Any suggestions? I saw this in the Common Problems/fixes thread: "Power Door Lock Actuator We found one of ours was defective when manufactured. I suppose I could have tried to get a free repair or replacement, but it was less hassle to fix it myself. It involved reseating a piece of circuit board, and repairing the traces on the board that had been worn through. Many people report success fixing this problem by simply removing the switch and cleaning the contacts inside. Power Door Locks locking or unlocking on their own Sometimes during cold weather, hot weather, or just for no reason at all, the power door locks will either pop back up after locking or stay locked without letting the lock cylinder turn and unlock the door. The mechanical assembly connecting the lock cylinder itself to the inner door lock and armatures are mated by the use of small plastic parts that wear out and then break over time." but where and how do I check the assembly and/or the circuit board? Thanks!

Thanks Precise1! I checked and part#s for D21 and WD21 are the same, for weather strips. I'll get those off Ebay. Another thing I want to change/fix are the free wheeling hubs (if that's what they're called). Looking for used ones. I think '95 is the only year where they had 28 teeth (again, if that's what they're called that's how they call them here). ? When I have time I'll throw some pics up.

Hellofellows, joined this forum 'cause it's time to fix my '95 SE up a bit. Already saw the "Common problems/fixes" thread; excellent stuff. Need to tackle some of those isues as well, just need to get the parts first. Looking for info about good places to find those parts (online) and how-to's. Some of the problems I'd like to fix are: -weather strips front doors. Part # 80820-01G00 and 80821-01G00. I found some on Ebay for D21 but it says not for Pathfinder. Are these indeed different? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NISSAN-NAVARA-D21-PICKUP-PICK-UP-WINDOW-GLASS-SEALS-DOOR-WEATHER-STRIP-95-96-97-/170828604875?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c62da5cb&vxp=mtr - Finish plate passenger side. Part# 62256-55G00. Would like to find a used one with lamps, if possible. - and fog lamp driver side. Part # 999F1-AA002 (?). - Armrest left and right. 80941-55G23 and 80940-55G23 ( I think) - Bushing for spare tire carrier (and whatever else is needed there) - Front doors hinges/pins Trying to add some pics, but looks you can't upload them from computer, only link them. Is that right? I'm sure there's more to come! Any comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks!
