:sad: I bought a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder about 5 months ago. $4,700. Two all season tires on the front and two different summer, almost bald tires on the back. Broken control arm on drivers side front. Running basically water in rad. $5200 later... New tires, shocks, control arm, oil change and a rad flush. Aftermarket headlights (halogen?), screwed up electrical (horn doesn't work and windshield washer pump not working) Help!?! Tia!

Ooof. That's some tough pills to swallow.
Horn could be a relay or fuse. I imagine the washer pump could be the same thing.
Have you taken a look at the factory service manual yet?

Maybe start in the body, lock, and security section:

Ty , yes. However , these guys installed aftermarket headlights and it's a mess as far as I can see. There's a wire that goes to the battery from one of the lights that has a fuse. And that fuse is melted to the plastic :( I'll take some pics to show what I mean before tomorrow

Holy moly... might want to get that fixed before you go using the headlights anytime soon. Or update your insurance to cover fire damage.

Right 🧐 Hopefully will be taking it in next week to have it looked at. Was hoping to find a diy way to just remove this and return to original or a little better than original headlights...

You didn't pay $5200 for some suspension, ebay headlights, and fluid changes right?

Does it have a new radiator?
If you at least do the bypass! (which is nearly free)
Here is a summary from a Nico owned Pathy site
