Great thoughts guys, I'll look into it and update.

I should also say, I'm curious about this as a mechanical, overload, or whatever issue as opposed to a wiring issue because even the 4th speaker he didn't touch (and I didn't touch) that worked fine is now one of the two giving me issues.

Hey guys, So the guy who owned the car before I did installed a sub in the back and an aftermarket stereo. He also, as I came to find out, snipped the wiring to three of the 4 door speakers. I reattached them all with new wiring and they worked for about an hour, then the front two became intermittent... Sometimes they work, other times they don't. It's not a balance or fader issue, and I know the wiring is still good, it hasn't come undone or detached... What could it be? Any thoughts? Zack

Wow... I thought i new at least a bit about cars. Glad to know i'll be learning so much! I genuinely look forward to getting to work on my own a bit, even if it takes me looking like an idiot to you pros The tires are bigger than stock for certain. After i finished up changing the oil and put the spare on for the flat, i noticed the spare was full sized, but definitely smaller than the Firestone A/Ts on the car. I'm assuming the spare was the original and the owner that bought the newer tires didn't want to buy a full sized spare... The current ones aren't beefy by any means and i'm even thinking of getting a tad bigger when i get new ones (will have to be soon unfortunately. Really good friend of mine works at Discount Tires and spotted my awful tread from 10 yards off) but they're an inch maybe wider in diameter. Now that you mention it 01Pathfinder, the car bounces like no ones business now that i have all the trunk load of camping equipment and 4 passengers out of it... that's due to the psi being too high then?

It's all good guys! Finally found the time to jack up the front end (when i came out to find a flat unfortunately...) And the four wheel drive is working fine. Great in fact, took it camping this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed exploring my site options with ease. Turns out ferrariowner123 was correct. My dip stick is permanently stained... i knew i had an oil leak but had taken a few measures to fix it and thought i had. Turns out i was bone dry and i was reading an oil stain on the dip stick. Through some new oil in, repaired the tire, filled them all as they were mostly at about 34-38 psi (50 recommended) and headed out! Thanks again guys, you rock.

Wow, the speed at which you guys responded was sick haha i went to class, came back and the problem might very well be ready to investigate. Thanks guys! Will update...

Hey guys, So i've seen some posts about this, but i'm kinda in a pinch. I'm getting what seems to be a classic problem on my '97 that the 4x4 light won't go out when i switch into 2 wheel drive. it eventually does and all is seemingly fine. Until most recently. This last time, the light stayed on quite a while despite the shifting lever being solidly in two wheel drive andsince then, my gas mileage has gone drastically down as if i'm still in 4x4 despite the light being off. Is there a way to check to see if it's still in 4x4? I'm sorry, i'm new to the whole car thing and want to learn, but i gotta start somewhere and currently know very little. Any thoughts would help, Thanks! Zack
