2001nissan pathfinder dash lights come on and loose power

the complaint you posted is very vague. I can only assume you mean there is no power to the center console of the vehicle. is that the problem? assuming that is the problem,the plug that supplies power to that part of the vehicle became interrupted either by the plug itself becoming loose or the broken due to normal wear. typically the same fuse is utilized for dash and console. however there are some models that splits the circuit {to avoid overheating overload}. give the fuse a quick check before proceeding with any repair.

it could be a faulty PCM or just a loose connection from it.
Sadly, you have much more harness wiggling to go through before you end up at a repair shop.
good luck.

Replace the fuse they should be on the same circuit, ever tow anything?

IT STALLS WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE POWER CABLE ON THE BATTERY IS LOOSE OR WHERE THE BATTERY IS BOLTED TO THE FUSE BOX

it is probably the dimmer switch reostat for the dash lights. It is a common problem on these. I have replaced several for this problem

On the 1998 Pathfinder, the fuse that powers the park lights and dash lights is located under the hood on the passenger side in the fuse/relay box. It is a 10 amp fuse #61. Test ALL fuses in the fuse box and make sure there are no missing fuses.

Is the switch for the parking lights, headlights, high beams, on the steering column as well cuz it sounds like you may have jostled the harness loose.

Use a 12v test light & check all the fuses for power on the inside fuse panel & check the under the hood ones as well.

Unplug the ECM connection and see if those lights go off.For some reason the relays are not turning off and are controlled via the ECM.

i would check the connectors under the dash they have a tendancy to get loose are get hot and short a fuse this is most likely the problem...please rate this....
