Last year I was without my vehicle from Oct. to Jan. before finally replacing the IPDM. I went to several forums, posting question, and then watching replies, before deciding to replace IPDM. Seems that only the 2005's have this issue. Now the end of Oct. this year it is beginning to have same running rough issues. Has anyone else had rough running or non start issues and replaced the IPDM? The boards were backordered last year and we had to wait to get one in order to replace. I just an't imagine that the same thing has happened to me again! Love my Pathfinder, but am about to get rid of it because I can't afford these repairs.

I recently had the samw problem. It is the ecm relay on the ipdm board. There is a recall going into effect Dec. 2010. Until it goes into effect you can swap the ECM relay and the Fog Lamp relay. Titans have the same problem. http://www.titanspot.com/Titan/index.ph ... =9442&st=0
You will also receive payment for the old repairs
1. NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 10V517000
Recall Date:
2010-10-28

Summary:
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.

Consequences:
THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Living in Nigeria and the IPDM of my Nissan pathfinder 2005 is among those supposed to be recalled. What do I do to have a current one?
