Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / May 20072001 Pathfinder electric window Issue
I bought it used with 45,000 miles on it. It now has 78,000 miles. The rear windows immediately developed ghosts in the electrical system...I don't use them anymore. Most recently the driver's side front window has forgotten what "Auto" means. If I do an 'auto' down, it only goes about 3 inches at a time. Auto UP gets me 3 inches up, then immediate retraction. At this point I have to pull the switch up to 'auto', then pull it up again to the 'manual' position in order to get the window to fully raise. Any hints? TFM® i'm no mechanic but this has to be a relay problem . the relay contols the operation of your windows. find the relay and replace it. where it is , i have no idea. hope it helps. d. There's a current sensor that detects that the motor is requiring high current. This is so when your kid's arm is caught in the window, the window doesn't cut his arm off. I suspect that something's binding, and making the motor work hard. I'd pull the trim off the door and lube everything in sight. MMM., just read the '01 PF manual -- it appears it has a position sensor and limit switch rather than just watching the load. Same effect, more expensive, maybe a little more effective. Anyway, it could be the limit switch or encoder. There's a procedure in the service manual to reset the limit switch, I'd do that too while I have the door trim off. >I bought it used with 45,000 miles on it.

If so eqipped, it could sense unusually high currents (problem with motor(s) or severe biding of mechanism) and turn on and off... causing the window to operate in jumps. www.telstar-electronics.com Looking at the service manual (I have an '01 PF), there is a circuit breaker (M145) but it appears to not be the self-reseting type. In the troubleshooting chart it's only mention in the "none of the windows work" section. The OP's symptoms map to: Check the switch for that window. Check the encoder and limit switch for that window. Interestingly, my PF has done something similar a couple of times the last few days -- drivers window gets 2/3 up on auto, then there's a noise and it backs off a couple of inches. I suspect something is binding. On Apr 27, 10:12 pm, "The Fat Man®" <fatf...@tampabay.rr.com> wrote: > I bought it used with 45,000 miles on it.

No noise, no binding, it just doesn't seem to work right at all when it's warm outside. I live in the Tampa, Fl area, so it's warm more often than cold. BTW, when I say warm, I mean 90f and above. I've also had trouble with the rear window switches, so maybe it's just a switch issue.

This is because it's forgotten where the top is. There's a learn procedure in the SM. >> Interestingly, my PF has done something similar a couple of times >> the last few days -- drivers window gets 2/3 up on auto, then [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > This is because it's forgotten where the top is.

It only happens occasionally, so are you saying that it's occasionally forgetful. It really does sound like something's binding just before it reverses, but I'll take a look at the learn procedure in the service manual. >> Interestingly, my PF has done something similar a couple of times the last few days -- >> drivers window gets 2/3 up on auto, then there's a noise and it backs off a couple of inches. >> I suspect something is binding. > > This is because it's forgotten where the top is.
