What this part called? Where to buy?

[ouki]

I bought a 2001 Pathfinder SE. I am very happy with it. The only thing seems to be missing are the two panels next to the fog lights. See attached picture. The picture is not my car, I just found it on the internet for demonstration purpose. Can anyone tell me what it is called and where I can buy them online? Thanks.

Your local dealership's parts guy can order these parts for you too.

Thank you, Towncivillian! I'm ordering them today.
By the way, I am not sure my 01 Pathfinder SE came with the fog lights or the previous owner installed them after market. I have not figured out how I can turn them on yet. I can't see any switch for the fog lights. Any tips? Sorry I only owned the Pathfinder for a week or so and know very little about it.

I assume they are one for the left side and one for right side. So I need to both of them, right? Sorry for my ignorance.

If they are stock, there is a second switch on the light/turn signal stalk. I don't have any picture of the stalk and can't go take one until later tonight.

Since you just bought the vehicle, you may want to replace your In-Cabin Air Filter (if equipped). Many people forget these exist and as a result never change them, resulting in nasty smells or poor A/C performance sometimes. I would also pull through your local dealership and see if there are any recalls not yet done on your Pathfinder. There is also a new recall regarding the driver's side strut rusting which will take effect around May 16th, so perhaps wait until then to visit your local dealer.

And yes, you will need both if you are missing both. For future reference, there's a small edit button at the top right corner of your posts, so use that instead of double posting within such a short time span next time.

There is also a potential issue with the screws securing the power valves (aka butterfly valves) becoming loose and possibly backing out far enough to be sucked into the engine and potentially cause major damage. This is similar to a recall for 2004 Sentras and 2004-2005 Altimas with the QR25DE engine, but Nissan has not issued a recall for this potential issue for our Pathfinders as it's not as widespread an occurrence as on the recalled engines. The solution is either to remove the upper intake manifold and put some threadlocker (Loctite) on the screws yourself, or have a mechanic or the dealership do it. The dealership will charge around $280-300 to do this I believe. Like I said, it's not an extremely widespread issue for us but until you get threadlocker on those screws, you aren't guaranteed to be unaffected. I've got 123k on my 2001.5 PF and no issues yet, but I haven't put threadlocker on my screws yet, primarily because I stripped some of the bolts/nuts that hold the upper intake manifold on and I need to obtain replacements now. Just informing you, as it's something you really should be aware of especially as a new owner.

I noticed the same issue on discussions too. I've done some research but could not seem to find a good step-by-step instruction how to fix/workaround the problem without taking it to the dealer. By your discretion, I still feel uncomfortable doting it without something in more detailed level. Do you happen to know a good instruction I can find online? It'll helpful with pictures...

There is an excellent guide on NPORA. It's not extremely in-depth but the procedure is quite straight forward and you should only need about $35 worth of gaskets and high-strength red (permanent) threadlocker and a few hours of your time.

There's a sticky here: threadlocker-on-power-valve-screws-pics-t304263.html
that describes how to do the power valve screws. Note that stick-shift PF/QX4 do not have power valves.

I have zero mechanical background and don't have a lot of tools. The tutorials are excellent but I still have no confidence doing it myself. If I were to hire someone to do it, where do you recommend? I am located in San Diego, CA. Thanks for all the help.

I bought these parts but they do not fit. They are the plastic covers to fill the holes if I do not have fog lights. I want the parts to cover the holes NEXT TO the fog lights as pointed in attached pictures. Not sure what part to buy....

Gah, you're right. An oversight on my part, my apologies. These appear to be the correct parts:

• [62034] FINISHER-FRONT FASCIA,RH
• [62035] FINISHER-FRONT FASCIA,LH

Check here to confirm.

This one seems right. Thank you for your quick response!
