if so, make sure noting is pressing on the buttons when you place it on the table
make sure somebody isnt playing a joke on you in your house .
Onto the cruise control- On the brake pedal are two switches, (yes you have to get under there) one for the brake lights and one for the cruise control. If you're lucky, the stopper that closes the switch has dry rotted and fallen out. Just order a new one from the dealer. It's cheap! Since you are going to the trouble of doing all this, look on E-Bay for the Pathfinder manual on disc. I bought mine there for $10.00 and it's the real Nissan Service manual! It will help you further on the cruise control if it's not the stopper! Good luck! Please post back, it's nice to know if I helped or not! Good Luck!

Main Beam Lights. - Side Lights work, Driving Lights work, however when I switch onto Main beam everything goes of, very exciting at 80 mph in the night. All Fuses are good, Possible contact fault or relay??
Thank You - David
Sounds like you need to go back and revisit post 21 one more time closely.
" I pressed all the visible wires in there, even popped off a switch and put it back"
Your headlight switch is bad, ie making faulty contact -If you can take the switch out again and rebend the contacts there should be four of them. If the contacts have lost original bend spraying them won't make a difference.
Good luck!

Thanks for posting (and reposting) your message #21!
It will be my first chore tomorrow.
I started my headlight issue by trying to replace the headlamp relay on my '95 4WD XE, but have been unable to locate the correct relay. The Haynes shows one in the diagrams and I bought an OE style. Any idea where the headlamp relay is located?
I carefully removed the four labeled relays in the engine compartment (horn, fuel pump, etc) and the two adjacent unlabeled relays. Also removed three unlabeled relays above the fuse block. None of them interrupted the headlights.
Though the switch sounds like the root cause of my intemittent headlight failures, I'd like to throw in the relay, just hoping someone might have some ideas on the locale.
Cheers.
oh and keep in mind the fact that it is flashing could mean bigger problems else where.
to get access to this switch, you pull off the hatch plastics reach in through the right side and there should be a wire connected to the latch on the bottom, center area, that if you unplug should solve your problem.
I read in a forum that you can't buy a new dash and the only hope was to check the circuit board. I sent it off to company in LA who did repair it (and warrantied their work). Installed two days ago and the instruments are acting up again and odometer is reading 999,999!! No problems with windows, headlights, etc. like other posts. My mechanic has never seen this problem before.
Can anyone shed some light on what's causing the problem? THANK YOU!!!
I believe that in my car, there are electrical problems (I've had lots of quirky problems with 4wd light being on when not in 4wd, with battery going dead for no reason, different lights flashing intermittently)
Last summer, they told me it was the battery harness and "fixed it". not even 4,000 miles later, same thing is occurring. I also have heated seats etc. They replaced my battery yesterday at a prorated amount.
BUT, they cannot give me any reasonable answer about WHY. I think something isn't turning off (heated seat, radio, something).
To fix, have a fairly tall person sit behind the drivers seat and using his knees, push agaist the drivers seat while you use the forward adjustment control.
It takes some effort, but it should get the seat "un-frozen" and start working again. You need to be very conscious of not going all the way back with the seat in the future,
IF you don't have a spare tall person around, you can do it like I did, which is to manipulate the switch while really pulling the seat forward. it is a strain, but you should be able to get it.
thanks mitch
I proceeded to remove the oil filter and checked the rubber gasket for any damages, I didn´t find any, so I put it back on , no,joking if the gasket is there , and ts the wrong filter the circumference could be to large letting the oil out ,check the part no and the brand of filter. also check the oil plug gasket
Help! It's driving me crazy!

When i first start driving [within 10 minutes] If I hit the window buttons, it some how interrupts the ignition circuit and momentarily kills the car. Like the spark plugs just aren't getting spark for a second, then the car resumes driving normal when you let off. If I hit the brakes or turn the fan on [A/C , or heater] it makes the headlights dim and cuts out the radio.
Something is seriously shorting out. I have checked the fuses and even the tail light connectors, alternator connector etc. Nothing looks abnormal.
Please help. This is really annoying...

Is any one know how to completely disconet this alarm . Somewhere has to be a main security control module or something .
Thanks
