89 Pathfinder lights issue

racaron · Nov 27th, 2006, 10:16 PM

A while ago my Pathfinder start having issues with the dashboard lights (they were turning off by themselves), but after playing with the switch they use to stay on. Eventually they never turned on again, and later on I lost the parking lights and recently the right headlight. Today I replaced the headlight switch, had a new OEM installed and it solved the headlamps issue, now both are working. Still the dashboard lights and parking lights still out. Any ideas for troubleshooting this issue? Thanks.

Sorry for posting my tech question in the wrong place.

YOu might want to try posting this again in the pathfinder section... I dont think a lot of people check this section.
Have you checked fuses & possibly relays?

Thanks for replying, I did realize this is the wrong place for technical issues. Anyway, I troubleshot my little toy (the truck) and replaced a blown 10amp fuse. Issue solved.
My next project will be next weekend, will re-wire and place a harness for a CD player and will replace all four speakers for 6.5 coaxials (door panels) and 6 x 9 triaxials (rear panels). Have a 25wpc head unit (on 4 channels) and think will be enough for the Pathy.
Now about how I got into my Nissan, got the truck few years ago because I have always liked the old Pathfinders and found this one in almost excellent condition (in and out). It has a 3.0L engine, and a 5 speed tranny (yes of course, is 4 x 4), factory sunroof and factory everything (power windows, locks, cruise). I neglected it for a while and now I have decided to bring it back to life.
I guess I will be around these forums in the near future.
