Ah man that's awesome. Looks like my pathfinder without all the rust spots lol. Is that a 1990?

Slarti, yeah the hold down is busted. I don't even see where there would be one. My battery is just sitting on top of a metal looking plate it looks like and sliding around. The little plug that the headlight wires connect into off of the positive terminal is where the issue is. Those cables keep coming a bit loose

So with further inspection it seems to be that the two wires that get power to the headlights from the battery are a bit loose on the actual terminal that comes right off the battery. When the battery slides whenever I turn, the two wires coming off the terminal shift which cuts power to the headlights. Don't know how I'm going to secure the battery but I'm going to try and use some electrical tape at the least to further secure the headlight wires in the plastic terminal that connects to the battery. Hopefully that way I'll keep my lights even when the battery shifts.

Terra, I took it apart and everything looks sound in there, clean and surprisingly in tact. Just got the new headlight/turn signal switch as well just in case.

Just checked and the battery does move around on its platform, how did you fix it? I had no idea that that would affect it, thanks!

BTW the filaments on both the headlights are fine,and if I turn left the lights usually come back on.

Like title says, when I make a right turn, both my front headlights go out. Everything else works, tail lights, cruise control, brake lights, etc. I replaced my turn signal switch thinking it was that but nope, same problem. I took apart the steering wheel cover a few weeks ago and was good for a few days but problem is back. What do I do? If I get a multimeter and test for power (never used one), how do I do that? I'm on my last nerve with this one lol. Thanks guys

Its the bottom right pole in the picture, its basically just an enpty port that doesn't have the little piece in there that keeps the wire in place so it can touch the other piece on the male harness

Brake light/ running tail light not working due to the pole where the wire goes not conducting electricity. The crimp(?) that holds the wire in place isn't in there so its not making contact with the other end for the lights to work. What should I do for this? New wire terminal? http://imgur.com/kBq8zzb

Also, MT90 helped me a lot as well. Smoother shifting and don't notice the whine. I just got the vehicle last month and changed the mt fluid as soon as possible though

Really hope I can get another 3 years out of my pathy to get it back to Tucson. Desert weather would be so much better than out here in western Illinois

B, I think Daczone may be talking about doing a complete drain and replacing all ~5L with redline mt-90 the expensive stuff. In my case I bought the gallon jug and 2 quart bottles and it came out to just over $100. But even so like you said, he could get some cheaper stuff that would probably still be better than nothing!

If you're transmission is whining, then the consensus seems to be that you're are best off just parking your truck and doing all the necessary work now, as it's going to go sooner or later. Check out the manual transmission TSB for more info, the very first main post has all the info. Other than that, iirc the thread also said go ahead and overfill it. That's my reasoning at least, I don't have the money or resources for the full transmission fix at the moment, so I drained it and refilled it with the proper amount in hopes of getting some more life out of it!

Okay I got it all changed. Hardest part was definitely getting the carpet cuts to get the bolts free. Had to make more cuts than I wanted but can't really tell when it's all tucked back in! PS... Don't forget the zip ties! Lol

Thanks, I found a site that's got a great walk thru on that part. http://beergarage.com/PathTransmission1Remove.aspx It's like mid way down the page!
