Seeking Advice on 2001 Nissan Crew's Heating/Cooling Deficiencies and Warning Light Issue
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The conversation revolves around a 2001 Nissan Crew experiencing issues with its heating/cooling system and a warning light on the speedometer. The initial suspicion is a faulty Solar sensor, but a similar case with a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder revealed a defective wiring harness as the root cause. The suggested solution involves checking the wiring harness and possibly replacing it, as faulty wiring can disrupt multiple systems. Additionally, it's advised to communicate symptoms clearly to mechanics to facilitate accurate diagnosis and repair.

Hey there,, Yikes, a defective wiring harness does sound like a bit of a doozy. I appreciate the solid advice and heads up. I'm definitely gives me a different perspective on my Nissan Crew's pesky problems. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that whole operation set you back? Also, any other issues since the wiring harness ordeal? Cheers!

Hey again,, No worries at all, happy to share! The wiring harness shenanigans ended up costing me about 155€, which did take a bite out of my budget. But hey, that's the price for smoother rides and peace of mind, right? As for other issues, here's the kicker: once the mechanic fixed that wiring harness, it turned out my initial hunch about the faulty Solar sensor was right after all! But once that was squared away, things have been running smooth ever since. Cars, huh? Always something to keep us on our toes! Cheers!

Hey, 155€, huh? A chunk out of the budget for sure but definitely worth the peace. And oh God, the faulty Solar sensor on top. It sounds like quite the adventure, you've been through with your Pathfinder. Kudos to you for fighting through it! The info has been super helpful, and I'm definitely going into the mechanic's a lot more prepared now. Thanks a ton for your help. Cheers to smoother rides and peace of mind! Catch you around. Cheers!

Hey, I get your concerns, sounds very reminiscent of an experience I had with my own 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. I too was having a rough time with the blower and that doggone warning light. After skirting around it for weeks, I finally took her to the garage and turns out it wasn't a faulty solar sensor as I had suspected. Instead, it was a defective wiring harness. You might think it's not a killer issue, but let me tell you, faulty wiring can muck up your systems in no time. In my case, the heating/cooling system was on the fritz, much like what you're experiencing. The mechanic had to replace the entire wiring harness due to extensive damage, and boom, things were back in business. Here's a tip when dealing with mechanics: know your car's symptoms well, and don't hesitate to voice your concerns, it can save you a ton of time and head-scratching. Good luck with your Nissan Crew. Cheers!
