Hello. New Member, first post. I have an older model 1997 pathfinder 4x4. The abs light kicked on and the pump runs after being shut off running the battery dead. I read about this issue prior here, and an owner said he took the abs relay out located by the pump. He said it had burned connections on it and replaced it to correct the issue. I have dug through the engine bay took the abs motor apart and can not locate this relay? It is not in the relay or fuse box either. :confused:

My Haynes Repair Manual that I use for my 2002 Pathfinder covers '96 thru '04 models. It says "the ABS control unit, which is located forward of the center console under the heater unit (1996 through 1998 Pathfinder models), monitors ....." blah blah blah. It doesn't mention anything about relays specifically but you might check the control unit if you can find it where the Haynes manual says it is located and see if that is where the relay is. The relay is a pricey item. Nissan part number 47605-C9900. At Nissan Parts Deal https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts/n ... l=&Filter=() you can buy at less than dealer mark up prices or find it on e-bay as a salvaged part for much less. This relay is used on many different Nissan models. Check out this link to see what it looks like so you know what to look for inside your Pathfinder. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... 0&_sacat=0
