Get the suspension springs checked. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface with no-one in it. Stand back and carefully look at the vehicle. Sometimes when a spring fails the vehicle will lean towards the broken side. The tail ends of the spring can break off when they are old and the broken bits don't always fall out when it happens. The stall could be something separate. Do you have any warning lights on the dash? If the charcoal canister is starting to fail it often causes the check engine light to turn on as it will affect the emissions. This will trigger other engine sensors to flag up a trouble code.

Before spending any money why not check out the motor brushes. If worn fan will not operate at any speed.

Dear An, Underneath and behind the dashboard are the parts of the car that are giving you problems. They are inside a black plastic box that has all the air conditioning and heating apparatus. It is quite likely you have a "sticking flap" inside the air passage vents, or something in that order. When it is taken apart, it is likely you will see the problem. Shops often charge higher process for this repair, as it is complicated and time consuming. God bless your efforts.

Sounds like the brushes are bad in the fan motor. The age of the Pathfinder warrant the fan motor relacement

PARTfinder? LOL! Good one! Nissan Pathfinder,right? Check level of coolant,engine temperature hot enough?, no air in cooling system, hoses going in and out of firewall to heater core are hot? May have a blend door actuator(if equipped with one) not working. don-ohio

replace the valve and you may also need water separator kit installed, to removed moisture, which gets installed by the vent valve. Nissan has technical service bulletin on this one.

check the switch make sure its on ---check brake fluid level --- the wiring to the abs make sure no damage or disconnection when brakes/rotors were done ---recheck brake pads if not seated right known to throw codes ---

A question often ask and much disregarded although the tow bar weight is within limits the load distribution bars ( torque bars -stabilizer bars --sway bars etc) not only help distribute the load but act in such a way as to stop the trailer /caravan for developing the sway that tends to make the driver loose control at speed they also , when properly adjusted, keep the ride height of the towing vehicle level and that improves stability remember that although the bar weight is 175 kgs that amounts to a load of 525kgs over the rear axle or extra 525 kgs on the rear tires ( mass multiplied by distance from drive axle or rear wheels assuming the distance from the axle/tires to the tow ball is i meter---heavier if the bar is further back from the tires ) to use the distribution bars lifts that weight off the rear axle and places more of the load on the trailer wheels As a result the car / trailer combination is much safer to operate than without the bars

Hi here's a link for the owners manual to 2006 nissan pathfinder.... CHEERS http://www.nissanusa.com/pdf/techpubs/pathfinder/2006/2006-Nissan-Pathfinder.pdf

I am guessing the idle air valve isn't operating because it is either stuck, defective or not receiving signals causing it to adjust or maintain the idle speed.

You need to be more specific. Like Brand, model, year?

Possible wheel bearing beginning to wear. Have your local repair shop to take it for a quick road test ( usually free ) to confirm

Reattach the wires and buy a wiring kit you can pick one up at Walmart now or any car part store for about $20. They're color coded and let's you wire up any radio in 5 min. Worth the money and keeps you from shorting out your radio or other circuits.

I haven't cut a radio harness since the early 90s no need to anymore. Good luck

hi I would check out the radio features and make sure the radio isn't on mute or the fader is turned in the wrong direction or there is another button depressed muting the sound. if that s ok you will have to remove the radio and check to see if the speaker wires are still connected to the stereo if they are you will have to remove the door trims and see if the wires are still connected to the speakers as well check the radio features first cheers

pri it open with a rag -coverd screw driver, this will break the little plastic part that needs to be replaced anyway. or pull the inside panle inside and un clip the actuator,,,
