2008 4WD warning light & SES light and won't start

[jschettini]

I have a 2008 Pathfinder V6 4wd. The wife was driving and the 4wd warning light and the Service Engine Soon light came on simultaneously. When she pulled away from a red light she said the engine seem to rev at much higher RPM before taking off and she said that the truck just didn't feel like it was driving normally (I was not in the truck, so I am going off of her explanation). She made it home and shut the truck off, now it will not start. When turning the ignition nothing happens, no starter click, nothing. I do have all my dash lights and indicators and I am positive that the battery and connections are ok. I'm at a loss...any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Could be any of a number of things, such as a bad MAF sensor. Need to see if it threw any codes, and start from there.

It's not a MAF sensor. See his more detailed thread regarding this problem

^ Nice! Thanks man.

Well, ok. Note to OP, it would really help to not start a second thread for the same issue.

[jschettini]

Sorry about that. I mistakenly started a second thread when i got more information about the problem, rather than editing or adding to the original thread.

I've heard this problem before, and I remember it being a power problem. Try jump-starting it even if the battery tests fine. Start inspecting the power connections and look for any corrosion, fraying, or bad connections in general. Focus on the ground cable in particular.
