2012 Nissan Pathfinder The Vanishing Short Circuit

[@wyattoneable]

I repaired a crank no start last year by a process that proved successful. However, to this day I don't know why the fix worked. I showed the video to Eric and he said that exact thing. "It's better to be lucky than good". You did a great job on this one. With the customer's knowledge to keep an eye on it, everyone is on the same page.

[@SAAutoRepair]

Yes sir. Hope is well down there. All my best

[@SmittySmithsonite]

This is normally how EVERY electrical diag goes for me. The wiring diagrams - if I can find one - are usually useless or wrong, then I touch something and the problem is gonzo! Main reason I have few diagnostic videos - mine would be of no value to anyone. Those jobs get me pretty steamed, lol. You did what any of us would have done. Thanks for sharing, Corey, and hope you and the family are all staying healthy and safe.

[@SAAutoRepair]

The struggle is real my friend. Hope all is well with you and the family.

[@PaulysAuto]

Sometimes it is all we can do? Great video and excellent explanation of the process Corey! Once again, thanks for sharing this with us!

[@SAAutoRepair]

You bet! Thanks you for all you do as well sir

[@CubasAutomotive]

Excellent find! What a pain! Nissan can be as bad a VW when it comes to service info sometimes. Way to go you & Joe! I know it's not "fixed"... but I agree with the way you handled this. You can only do so much. Wait until it's worse.... is what I'd do.

[@SAAutoRepair]

I was so bummed when I took it apart and I didn't find it. It'll be back. I'll get it and let you know.

Hey CORY DIAGNATION KZbin MOST RECENT VIDEO. BEST TO YOU MAN KEEP THESE GEMS COMING

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Cory another good one. Eric O had one the other day on an instrument panel took it all apart put it act together and it worked as advertised. Tomorrow is another day. Cory can you put the circuit breakers in your store and I will purchase them. You and family stay healthy Long Island and Suffolk getting hit pretty hard. Thanks again Artie. 👍👍👍

[@SAAutoRepair]

I will do that sir. Thank you

[@SAAutoRepair]

Circuit breaker kits have been added to the Amazon store. Thanks for thinking of me.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Thanks Cory will check it out 👍

[@patrickmiller6474]

Run into this twice, kids had put all sorts in CD unit. Only found it when it totally shot itself on both occasions, only ever got paid by one of the two customers, tough mate

[@SAAutoRepair]

Intermittent are tough. Especially when you're close and then they're gone

[@michaelherbert8213]

I hate that!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing

[@SAAutoRepair]

Frustrating for sure. Thanks

@@SAAutoRepair How's work been? Busy? I live in Suffolk county and it's been very slow at work.

[@SAAutoRepair]

You mean Southern Connecticut? Awesome. I have lots of family out there. Work is incredibly slow out here as well. We will get through this. Stay strong

[@michaelherbert8213]

@@SAAutoRepair Suffolk county long island. Its so slow that I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I cant wait for business to pick up again. Stay safe and healthy my friend.

[@SAAutoRepair]

Sorry, it's what we call Long Island (Southern Connecticut) 🤣🤣 Things will get better. Just be careful and stay helthy

[@scuba422123]

welcome back cory! just taking a break? if not hope all is ok it would be a Nissan....with a bad wire diagram maybe put a lower amp fuse at the radio and display unit then ship

[@SAAutoRepair]

I'm fine sir. Just been busy. Lots of changes on the Island. I can't be 100% it's even the radio. We'll wait for it to return and I'll do a follow up. Thanks for the concern.

[@brucemcdougall7282]

I'm a Kunkle buster so I'm guessing , Look on pathfinder chats to see if anyone else had the problem . Def a short somewhere ! Good Luck .

[@SAAutoRepair]

I hate chats and forums like that. Usually full of people that just guess. Not all, but most. But I DO appreciate the thought and support. I'll do an update if it comes back. Cheers

[@bbkmm1]

There are three things I would do in this case: 1. look for wires or connectors that touches the mounting rail, possibly not connected to the head unit. 2. unplug the head unit and install it several times. If that doesn't pop, it could be the head unit. 3. Russian repair time. Disassemble the head unit and look for burn mark.

[@SAAutoRepair]

#1 and 2 already done. I'll wait for #3 when I can confirm the fault. Keep you posted.

[@williamcarboni2614]

Love watching your vids. Is it possible something like a piece of conductive material could been sucked in behind the radio and wiring, or dropped from above and your moving the harness dislodged and it had fallen away from the area, check behind the radio area for something on the floor, it could be anything. Hope this helps, thanks

[@SAAutoRepair]

The thought was there. I looked and found nothing. Trucks been on the road for 3 weeks now without an issue

Trying to find out where my park lights are not on when I cut my headlights on no lights in the back of my Pathfinder

[@weldingjunkie]

First boom! Now I watch lol

[@SAAutoRepair]

Appreciate you Jay. Hope all is well

[@sargetester99]

Coins down the display panel, ever time, ....I would like to be friends!!!! Thank you.

[@SAAutoRepair]

That's what I thought. None to be found. Appreciate the support.

[@rolandomendoza4981]

Kids like putting coins in the CD player slot lol

[@SAAutoRepair]

That's what I expected. We'll see if it comes back.

[@davesterl]

Seems like its blown itself clear Corey

[@SAAutoRepair]

I know. Wished it hadn't. Cheers friend

[@JW-ce4lx]

smoke out of the vent? blower control modile? vent door motor?

[@SAAutoRepair]

Could be. That's why I dont guess. Sticks that it went away. Been good for 3 weeks now

[@JW-ce4lx]

@@SAAutoRepair it will come back to haunt some mechanic some day. No chance of a self healed electrical problem

[@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404]

Why does my car need ball joints after you worked on my radio? LOL Guess you need bigger potholes. Need the fault in order to find it. Can't be chasing ghosts.

[@SAAutoRepair]

Thought for sure I had it. It'll come back. Stay tuned

[@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404]

@@SAAutoRepair We will all be here waiting. No where to go. LOL

[@chadgardee1496]

You take radio shake it maybe coins in it?

[@SAAutoRepair]

I shook everything. I know the setup you're referring to. This one is different but always possible. I'll let you know if it comes back

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

My vote is for the display unit itself...If you saw a whiff of smoke from the air vent it must be near the display.

[@SAAutoRepair]

I agree. But I need to be 100% or it's not getting fixed. Thank you sir

[@thebaldmechanichardatheari1124]

Tough one. Pretty hard to find when it's working.

[@SAAutoRepair]

Don't we know it. I'll get it eventually
