youngpit Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) hello i just got my 02 ls fully loaded last week. i have only one problem with it.. i am hearing a funny whisleing sound. (spelling is bad i no). can figure out where the sound is comming from. i thought it was the roof rack, i moved it but still hear the sound.. then i thought it might be the sun/moon roof what ever we call it here.. but i have no idea where its comming from but its driving me nuts.... any one with the same prob.. PLEASE HELP... also i am planing on replacng the factory radio its the bose with 6 disk indash... not sure if any one would want it but i will sell it for a ok price ..

2001pathfinderLE Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 is it low or high pitched ? LE or SE model ? (the roof racks are different) you put ls thats not a model. get ready to sped a few bucks to upgrade from the bose system. 200 watts, pretuned, indiv. amped speakers. an aftermarket radio outs 65x4 watts at most..luckily ive got nav in my 01 and the smaller bose. mine still sounds great. plus i just added a dvd/tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUELER Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 i find that my roof rack whistles when its over my sunroof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 There's a TSB about the whistling, though I'm not sure if it includes the roof rack you have on your LE (I have the larger one with the Nissan wind fairing on the front of it) Apparently lot's of Pathy's have the same issue. Try sliding your bars back to the rear of the rack and make sure you tighten them down all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001pathfinderLE Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 thats the roof rack i want. i hate the LE rack. i want the SE rack with the wind thing in front and Pathfinder written on the side..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngpit Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 would the se roof rack fit. on the le with the sunroof.. also where do i find the tbs on the whisleing sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 would the se roof rack fit. on the le with the sunroof.. also where do i find the tbs on the whisleing sound Yes the SE should fit an LE Pathy just fine; the chassis/body is the same, just cosmetic differences seperate the two models, though, I think your going to have a difficult time finding a rack...much less buy one as I'm sure they cost an arm and a leg! If my memory serves me correctly the '02-'04 are the Pathy's w/ this rack (I love mine!) It's called a TSB, Technical Service Bulletin and all Nissan dealerships know about these. Do NOT confuse it with a recall though; a TSB means that enough people have complained about a particular issue (i.e. my slight exhaust leak cause by ****** piping!) to the point where Nissan North America says "Ok we're gonna put out a remedy to shut these customers up" (i.e. in my case...a $25 patching kit they'll use to seal the leak) A RECALL is the one where you can get the repairs done 100% free http://www.nissanhelp.com That's your #1 source for technical info. about your Pathy as far as Nissan North America goes.

navygz19 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Careful though, these racks have their issues as well...the wind fairing on mine likes to rattle a bit when I'm on the highway and the head wind hits it JUST right. It's so annoying! It doesn't happen all the time though, just once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navygz19 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Let me know how your brakes go. I too have a bit of a brake shuddering thing going on. It's not a big deal, just annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
