    I've got the same '93-only cluster in mine and don't remember seeing one of those while I had it out, though IIRC there was at least one symbol that I couldn't work out a purpose for. Like Adam, I assumed it was diesel-related. Does yours say engine oil temp or is it a picture? I might have to pop mine out and have a look with a flashlight. 

     

    I haven't found a '93 FSM yet, but '90 and '95 have no mention of an engine oil temp light. Operator's manual, you mean like the one in the glovebox, with the jacking points and whatnot?

    Correct, the owners manual is what is in the glove box

    This was available on the R50 Pathfinder too, a few months ago I replaced my gauge cluster with one I scored at my local junkyard (due to a missing 4X4 light) when I discovered that it had the AT Transmission oil temp light. I laughed because my R50 Pathfinder 4X4 is a 5 Speed.

    I did look in the bezel and there is a spot for the AT Oil Temp as well, but no bulb and wiring. All depends on the factory setup I guess

  3. It was specified for the VG30E in the operators manual. After looking in the FSM I couldn't find any info on it. 

     

    Is is the last year of the square dash with the 1 year only cluster and the warning is in the bezel on the right side with the AT Temp, ABS light and 4WD light. Being a 5 speed the AT warning does not have wiring or a bulb.

  4. While messing with the instrument cluster I noticed my 1993 SE Sport has an Engine Oil Temp Light and it does have a bulb with power available. Where is the sensor supposed to be hooked up? I plan to look in the FSM soon to see if I can find it, but I was curious if anyone here knew anything?

  5. Heat and a press? If you can manage that you should be golden. Also check into a machine shop. Perhaps they can remove it without damaging the pitman arm. Just have to remove the pitman arm from the box. Just make sure you mark it.

  6. From personal experience I have found a few factors to take effect on how well the MPG is or isn't.

     

    First off thanks to how the old Automatics were it's much easier to get fair MPG with a Manual.

     

    Also tire weight is another factor. My current set of tires are the Firestone Destination XT's in 31x10.50x15. these are 5 LBS lighter a piece compared to the BFG KO2 in the same size. Doesn't sound like much but it makes a difference as it requires less power to move them and keep them moving.

     

    Also if you don't try to drive for MPG then it becomes a pain to get good MPG.

  7. I cants say if the wire changes positions or not between the two but I can say that if the cluster from the 91 fits then I would recommend using that. Why you ask? Well it gives it an updated look and you know it works. As long as the needles aren't broken you should be good. Also for odometer correction you can go into the speedometer (it's able to be removed) and you can turn the numbers on the clock(you have to be careful doing this so you don't damage stuff).

  8. That is why I specifically mentioned the IPF 820H Headlight housing. It changes the pattern to more of a Projector style and is meant for a Halogen bulb. With just that alone I makes a huge difference. The relay kit helps a bit too!! Tonight I installed the IPF 80/110 watt bulbs and testing them out with the housings. Much brighter to say the least and don't have the silly led light look.

     

    Here is a link to that housing

  9. I would suspect a bad connection somewhere or something up with the Idle Air Control. If you don't have one already get a service manual first. After that go to the symptoms diagnosis for troubleshooting. You don't want to throw parts at this. That gets expensive quick.

  10. If you want to do an upgrade to the headlights in the future follow these little steps.

     

    #1 do the D21 headlight bucket swap. Either get a pair from the junk yard or Flea Bay.

     

    #2 get the IPF 820H headlight housings. They take H4 bulbs.

     

    #3 get yourself a set of H4 Halogen lights that you want(any will work) and the new connectors.

     

    Once it's all said and done you will be Happy. I'm running that right now with the relay recently added and it's bright and way better focused!!

  11. If you don't already have one I suggest getting the wiring diagram for your Pathfinder and start troubleshooting with a volt meter. Don't know how to do this? Get a friend to help that knows how to do so or take it to a local shop you trust to diagnose it. Best advice since there are many possibilities 

  12. Question for those with the OEM Brush Gaurd. What bolts are used for mounting them? I just scored one off Flea Bay and i don't believe it has the hardware but the mounting tabs are in good shape.

     

    Really just need to know the bolt size and pitch.
