Thanks for posting this. I take my pathfinder to Nissan and it is good to know that they are not perfect.

I hope they treat you right on this

Is the second light lighting up so both lights are lit and the cruise still not engaged or only the first light and the second does not come on.

If the second is not coming on then check for the brake switch to be open

If the second light is on and the cruise not engaged I would have to consult a ...

A couple of questions.

There are TWO lights that should be on if the cruise is engaged

The first one turns on when you turn the switch on (my switch is on the left of the steering column the light is on the right) the second turns on when the cruise is engaged as you described by pushing in the ...

Sounds like your water pump is going out --- Had it happen to my Nissan truck and it got expensive because one of my employees kept driving it.

Got the radiator so we had to replace a bunch of stuff.

Get it to the shop and you will be back in business.

As with all things mechanical it is your call BUT if you don't drive highways regularly -- just some bump around and it was cost effective I might do the welding route. I get nervous about high speed highway driving on suspension components that less than they should be (if we are talking about the ...

As a suggestion to see if it is only one wheel or the trans -- try jacking it up and with the wheels in the air (should be firmly supported) see if you with the help of a friend can locate the source.

With no drag on the wheels the noise source should be easier to locate -- I can't recommend it ...

Took my 87 Pathfinder on a road trip last week end. I just finished getting the frame straightened and an alignment. Had to fab up a new bumper and turn signals.

Ran over 2500 miles ( it has 295,000 on the odometer ) and got close to 17 mpg. Most of the trip was with the cruise set at 75+ in high ...

Nice looking -- If I remember correctly the lock is a simple fix once you get inside the door. I think it was a little hard to reach but and easy fix

Sorry can't help with the stereo

I just took my 87 in for an oil change at the Nissan dealership and they said that the front of mine looked like it was a little low. The torsion can be adjusted to lift the front but the back cannot be adjusted. They said to be sure and get a complete alignment when I have it adjusted.

Don't leave us in suspense

What did you do to fix it?

Have you done a compression test --- I have an older V6 that runs way too rich but starts and runs so I use it --- Someday it will require a major overhaul but it only has 275,000 miles on it

The 3 liter that is in the pathfinder doesn't run well when it has skipped time.

It will run but it is also an interference engine so will self destruct when it gets too far out of time.

Let me know where it is and I will buy it

I am studying one right now for about three or four times that

Debating if I should try and bend the frame back on mine or get another

They are good runners but do need their maintenance

I have an 87 pathfinder that only has 280,000 miles on it so it is barely broke in.

I bent the frame on the right front corner just enough to make it not quite square.

I have plans to use a 10 foot piece of 10 inch "C" channel chains and a 20 ton jack to see if I can move it back the 2 inches or ...
