I'm the type who always look underneath my vehicles to inspect the to see what's vulnerable.
According to the specs on all the brochures and internet, the LE 4WD has skid plates for the lower radiator AND oil pan. Only the SE Off-Road has additional skid plates for the transfer case and gas tank.
However, my oil pan is bare with no skid plate prtecting it. Only the lower radiator has a plate. Everything else is bare.
Did the factory forget to put the oil pan skid plate on my vehicle? Anyone with a 4WD LE please check?
Thank You.
Thank You !!
Any help you can send my way will be appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
So, I inquired about skid plates at Parts and it would cost $252 for oil pan, transfer case, and gas tank skid plates including all bolts. I may order them soon since I do off-road on my Pathfinder and I would feel safer with them.
Has anyone checked on the A/C cycling on and off even after you turn off the A/C?
Thanks.
I have the same problem. It happens when your signal begins to weaken. When the signal regains its strength, the RDS will re-establish the information. If it happens all the time, there is a TSB for this problem here:

When I bring in my Pathfinder in next week for my 3500 mile oil change, I plan to have mine checked, along with the rattling roof problem also listed as a TSB.
Is your 2005 LE the 4WD model?
Thanks for your reply. I have a 2004 PF LE 4WD. I have had problems with the RDS from the beginning. I've been everywhere from Portland to Boise, and Salt Lake City and it's never worked properly. It's a getting a little annoying. Will check the link you've provided. Thanks again, if you can think of anything else please let me know....
1) Every time I start the engine and take off, I hear a metallic twang/click immediately prior to the shift from 1st to 2nd. The noise appears to be coming from the left rear of the vehicle. It only happens on the first shift from 1st to 2nd each and every time I start the engine. It does not happen on subsequent shifts on the same trip. Insights?
2) I had the intake manifold repair done (part 14010-EA200). Though the rattling noise has gone, the engine still seems to splutter/chug a bit between 2k-3k RPM. It goes away after a few minutes of driving. It's always as smooth as silk between 1k-2k RPM. Is this normal?
This is very frustrating since the vehicle is otherwise rock-solid...
I tried removing the light casing but I could only get the top loose so I still couldn't get at the bulb.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have had that same noise come from the windshield/dashboard area on my 2004 PF LE. It seems to occur when it's colder outside and I hit a bump and doesn't occur so much in warmer weather. Don't know exactly where it comes from but I agree, it's frustrating.
I have a Carchip and about 3 weeks ago my SES light came on. The SES then went out a few days later...Yesterday it came on again, so I yanked the Carchip and took a look inside. It looks like I had a P0138 code (O2 sensor High Voltage B1S2) that lasted for about 5 days. Then yesterday (6 days later) I show a P0140 code (O2 Sensor Circuit - No Activity Detected B1S2)My questions are this:
1)I know about NTB2006 for the ECM reprogram Should I have that done first with a P0140 code?
2)Is it difficult to replace this B1S2 sensor?? Where might I find some instructions for doing it??
3)I have seen where people just replace all the sensors at 1 time..Comments??
thx

The snapping sound is improving, perhaps because the weather is warming. Let me ask you another question since you also have an '04 PF LE...Is your RDS function on you radio working properly? Mine does not and the prob has been labeled as "a normal characteristic of the vehicle" by the dealer. I think this reply is a poor one however they insist that it's normal for the RDS not to work properly on the '04. Any feedback would be most helpful....

I had the same codes twice last year. They went away after few weeks. I did not do anything and the SES light has yet to return. I blame it on bad gasoline from rural stations.
If you still want to replace then you can rent out an O2 sensor socket. Or, if you are brave just use a wrench. They are easily accesible from the bottom. Remove, install, and then route wires to front of engine and plug in the wire into harness. They are color coded either red or blue.
Like I stated before. Last year, I had the SES light O2 DTC codes but I left them alone and used good gas and they turned and remained off ever since. Are there poor milage and performance problems with your rig with the SES light?
thx for the comments

If you are not experiencing performance problems then I suggest hanging in there.
I'm having a problem with my '99 PF wiper control. Sometimes when I turn it on, it won't turn off. I'd have to switch it on and off (and between intermittent, on, and fast) a few times before it would respond. I had taken it in before and the service place (not dealer) replaced the switch control and it worked for awhile. Now it's back. I can't believe it's a bad switch AGAIN! To me it sounds more like a loose wire or a short. What do you think? Would a wire work its way loose again after a couple of months, or could the switch start going bad again so soon?
Thanks,
--Dan
How long have you had your O2 codes? Notice milage decreases? Try switching to another gas brand?
I have the '01 LE with 58k also.
Not sure if I should wait it out to see if it goes out, or reset it and see if it comes back on....
(glass half full or half empty)..LOL

I also use Premium fuel. I used the midgrade for awhile (maybe cause of O2?) and felt the engine dragging. I've since switched to a synthetic blend motor oil and back to premium fuel and noticed a nice change in my gas mileage.
