    I'll post some pics up this afternoon. The IA DID bend the first time, new one is on and pretty sure it's bent a little, but not as much.

     

    It's weird though, when I was climbing rocks and hills when it first started happening, my buddies were telling me the tires were fighting each other and toeing in, but when I'd get to the top and stop to look at it, they would be fine....

     

    most likely a shot CL.

    yeah, it's kind of gas guzzler most of the time but there are folks out there that get 20+mpg in theirs..

     

    handling.. i've never driven a completely stock one but they are freaking huge compared to the pathfinder...

    get a good mpg car for a DD, man.

    Rear Hatch Light Switch

    The one thing that I noticed is that this forum does not have as many links as I've seen on other forums. I always try to make the posts have a solution not just a "start over", or "dead end" mentality. Meaning that every word that we write and every post that we add is creating an ever expanding library of information. Inevitably somebody will search for "hatch switch" and this post will pop up on the search database. When that member opens the post and sees "do a search" as the responce rather than a link to a post that has the answer, you just made that post a useless dead end. Not only do you not help the original member that posted, you are building and supporting the creation of a library of useless posts.

     

    i can kind of see your point but i don't agree.. to provide someone with a link, I will have to do the same search they are capable of doing for themselves.. so, i gave you hints, something i would have had to do when i searched..

     

     

    I find the search function on this board to be quite lacking. You would probably be better off using google and adding "site:npora.ipbhost.com" to your search string. I've used the search here looking for specific threads and get no results even though I know exactly what I am looking for. Yes I have learned the intricacies of this board's search and it still omits valid search results.

     

    the main problem with search function is actually not the search function itself.. it is title creation.. a lot of titles do not specify the problem.. "help!" is probably the most common one and it could be just about anything.. so, it is in poster's best interest to be as good as possibly in creating the title of their thread. half the time the content of the thread can not be inferred from the title. it would be good for everyone if all titles were meaningful.

     

    One thing that really bothers me is when someone posts a problem, we make suggestions or help them figure it out but they never see fit to come back and post the solution. I see this way too much in other forums as well. I agree with the closure on each thread (except poho). The result of a search that leads you to a thread should also lead you to a solution not just back into the void of 'search for it'. Thank you for posting the link that you found useful as a solution. (now for my shameless pulg) If you take the time to document your fix and maybe even include pictures, please start a new thread with a name like "How to ..." and perhaps the admins will pin it.

     

    most likely a good "how to" would get put in the how to or pinned.

    the "unfinished" thread is a normalcy on the internet.. not really how we can fix that at least here.

     

    I'll look at the members "experience/registration time" and that will determine if I do a search for them and post a link and my experiences...for me pulling the wire was the simplest solution

     

    yup.. pretty much my condition too.

     

     

    Thanks for all the input. It's great to see the creativity that comes out with everyone's ideas. My fix was just to realign the latch loop. It was just a little skewed and it seems to be working for the moment. We will see if it lasts.

    favorite this link, it'll come handy again.. i've fixed mine a few times now like this. lol

    if you got fuel coming out the tail pipe.. the fuel isn't burning correctly.. check gaps on the plugs and make sure the plug wires don't cross.. also, make sure that fuel filter is free of clogs.. those are the only things that ever made my f150 stumble. (carburated older model, 302 motor)
