access to the wiring and everything is easiest from the bottom? also, does anyone know of anywhere to get a digital copy of the fsm?

Hey, thanks for the response. I just bought this pathfinder, and for very cheap. I bought it with these issues so Im not sure what the symptoms were before the failure. I bought it knowing it needed a couple things. Ill be taking a closer look at the shocks, but after looking at the torsion bars, Im thinking its them. The side that's sitting on the bump stop has been cranked way up already. I would guess that is maxed or damn close to it. The other side looks cranked up to but its harder to tell without a reference point. Either way, theyre both sagging quite low. Besides looking at the adjustment bolt, is there anything to look for in the torsion bars as far as wear goes? If Im going to get them from the wreckers, itd be good to know if im getting decent ones. What is the best way to access the starter? Ive come to 2 conclusions. 1) pull the wheel off, inner fender and go through there, or 2) from underneath the vehicle from right around the cv axle. Ive got some looking to do.

I see you've replace your ignition system components. I remember on my first pathfinder, it had the same issue. Massive loss in power, stalling, bogging, poor fuel economy. My ignition wires were actually arcing to the valve cover. My buddy got a good zap when he found that one out by mistake. You've replaced your wires, so I dont know if this is the issue, but maybe have a once over of the system. Wear some rubber gloves

Hi all, You may or may not have seen my "Newb" post in the welcome section, but as I mentioned, this isnt my first pathfinder, but its still relatively uncharted territory for me. Ive had a 93 xe and a 92 d21 base model. Im back in the game with my "new to me" 95 se. One known issue that I bought the vehicle with was a starter issue. After extensive reading, Ive read that I need a new starter solenoid. The symptom that is occuring is this; the starter is turning, and with authority. I havent put a meter on it to test voltage or amperage but it sounds strong. The starter drive is just not engaging. So either the solenoid is shot, or the fly wheel has no teeth left. It bump starts, but thats not a habbit I like to get used to. If anyone has any other insight, I would be very appreciative of any input. The other issue I noticed on my way home. When I parked it, I noticed that the front right corner was sitting a lot lower than the rest of the truck. I didnt notice anything in the ride on my way home, but Im not used to driving old suvs anymore and may have been oblivious to it. I have a feeling its the torsion bar or the shock. I do not know however, how to determine what the issue is. If its a torsion bar, where to look to find one? What is the difficulty in changing one? If its the shock, do I need to replace both of the front ones? I have Electronic Adjustable suspension. I dont need this feature, if I choose a shock that is unequipped, should both of the front ones be changed in unison? Again, Im appreciative to any answer that anyone can give me to shed a little light on these items. I look forward to tearing into this beast and getting her back to where she needs to be. These are great little trucks that just need to be kept on. Im really excited to own my first vehicle again Cheers everyone, sorry for the novel. Brandon

Hello ladies and gents. I am a die hard nissan guy. Dont know where it started but its alive and well. My first vehicle was a 93 XE. Followed shortly after by a 92 Hardbody (Base). My current daily is a 2011 Sentra se-r. I figured Id go back to my roots and I picked up a 1995 XE project for winter. Dont want to destroy my newish car in the snow and salt. Either way, the old girl is a little hurtin. I bought it with a couple known issues and paid accordingly. Now just to get all the bugs worked out before the snow flies. I look forward to working with everyone here and making some new friends. If your an Albertan cat with an old d21/wd21, drop me a line! Im always interested in meeting new people within my realm of vehicles. I always seem to have something from a niche market and not a lot of following. Cheers, Brandon Calgary AB
