If everything has gone well, the temperature will read normal and no coolant will be leaking. In my case, a steel rod from the steering was partially blocking the way. Just as the original poster stated. California cars like Precise1's and the rest of the crew is the same. The starter system in a Nissan consists of the battery, ignition relay switch, starter motor and starter solenoid. Signal to the second person to turn on the ignition key for 10 seconds. Clean the old gasket from the thermostat housing.
You have to then drain the oil to take off the oil filter, take off the exhaust manifold heat shield, and take out the oil pressure switch. If this does not work: 3. What I found was that all you need to down is take the one nut off the steering on the passenger side which is connected to the frame and pound it down until the starter clears. The start will have to be pulled out to the front. This is not an easy project!!! I cleaned all the corrosion off the battery and replaced the corroded ground cable, but this didn't help.
Before I start work, I face the possibility that I will destroy my vehicle, my own life, and innocent pedestrians' lives. This is a picture of where the starter relay is. Make sure the engine is cool before doing this job. If you don't want to pick the brain of your local service manager, then you really should head to your local big box parts store and pick up the Chilton's for your Pathfinder. It gives better clearance for the tie rod assembly to slide down the front mounting tube. Improperly maintained vehicles can lead to serious injury, death, or unavoidable accidents. Make sure the battery is disconnected before starting.
Installation is the reverse of the removal process. Again, this is just the supersafe way to do it. If I get in over my head, I call a professional mechanic. If the battery puts out less than 12 volts of power, it may not start your engine. After wiggling the starter out the front I set it on 2 cinder blocks so no tension was on the harness. There should be two mounting bolts holding it into place, and then you will need to disconnect the electrical wiring from another bolt. It makes sure the clutch is depressed, and that the key is turned, before it will power the starter.
I used a long flat edge screw driver and stuck it in to disengage the clip which holds it on. It's a greasy job and its tight but if you have the right tools it can easily be done. The electrical … harness has a bolt that connects it to the engine block. It helps to remove the battery or at least move it over to have some room to work. It's tight but the starter will slide out between the catalytic converter and the front differential. The bottom bolt has a transmission line running right over top of it and you have to use a wrench making quarter turns to loosen it. For all you know I made this up.
If this works: then the original Relay is bad and must be replaced. If it is my starter, has anyone had any luck with buying one off of ebay? Once the thermostats has opened top the system off, put the cap on and let it run for a while and watch for leaks. There is no special bleeding procedure Nissan has for this car. That adds a little more to look at in the schematic. Remember how you got the starter out because you will need to put the new one in the exact same way the old one came out. The right side is also known as the passenger side of the vehicle.
Hope helped with this remember rated this help Good luck. It may only be necessary to remove the center console panel to access the starter relay. This will give you the clearance to get the starter out. Look at that pic top right hand corner. It is a blue plastic box on the side of the engine compartment right behind the battery. Unscrew the solenoid power supply from the post.
Make sure you're on A level ground, and B stable ground not soft dirt! So I have searched the web and here and everybody says its either on the fender wall of the passenger side or directly behind the charcoal filter on the driver side. Well normally a faulty solenoid would not work at all not just at random times. It is a little hard to explain but it is closest to the bumper and is not the tie rods. I've ignition switches go bad in same year maximas. LouB answered 12 years ago Hi Walter! Release the hose clamp which secures the hose to the thermostat housing and then grasp the hose at the neck where the clamp was and try to rotate the hose on the housing.
For more help with the repair, contact our to schedule an appointment. This may take less patience, but it is more work so I wouldn't recommend it. Don't drive without a spare! From the side you should now be able to see inside a little bit from where the tire was. It's located on the passenger side, right next to the catalytic converter. Simply locate the relay, pull it out, and install a new one if needed. When the tire is all the way off the ground, remove the lugnuts the rest of the way.
