where is the hood release on a 2005 nissan pathfinder?

I can’t find a ‘hood’ button on the dash, below the dash, in the glovebox -anywhere – it’s an LE

left hand side under the dashboard near the door.

2005 NIssan Pathfinder Rear (5th) door stuck?

I cannot open the rear (5th) door on my pathfinder. I can open the window by pulling on the handle. I already tried to remove the compartment box nad move the lever from the locked to unlocked position.

Is the door stuck or broken? If it’s stuck, just gently pry it with a strong object. Make sure the handle is in the open/un locked posotion. If it’s stuck, just take it in to a shop and they’ll get it fixed.

how to replace timing chain on nissan pathfinder 2005?


Buzzing whirring noise generally caused by the intermediate chains and tension shoes when they wear down. We are seeing a lot of this repair lately. This in not a do it yourself job. Torque specs O rings oil seals and disassembly of the front of the motor in limited space. Use of gasket sealer proper cleaning of the engine covers. Getting 7 timing marks all lined up before reassembly is essential. Good Luck

What is the normal warranty for a 2005 pathfinder catalytic converter?

my converter on driver side failed according to dealership mechanics. I had it replace and a month later got a letter stating that the warranty had been extended to 76,000 miles. Shouldn’t it have been covered to 100000 miles?

Nissan’s warranty is not that great. You probably are out of warranty, your car is already 6 years old. Your best bet is to go to an independent muffler shop and have them install another Cat.

I am new to Wiccan practices, how do I find my pathfinder?

I would like to find my pathfinder animal but I do not know the ritual. Please give me detailed instructions or directions to a helpful website or book. Also if you know any really good spell or potions books please let me know.

Wicca is passed from initiated Wiccan teacher to students in 3 levels of elevation. It is a structured, mystery-based religious Tradition (set of Traditions, actually) that is not self-taught. I realize that there are a bunch of folks who identify as solitary Wiccans and that it’s a big trend now to ignore the fact that 90% of Wicca is oathbound and therefore not available to the uninitiated, but in fact there is no book on Wicca that tells any more than 10% of what makes Wicca what it is.

It’s fine to create your own eclectic Neo-Pagan practice and you can have a very rewarding spiritual life and relationship with the Gods by doing this. However, that’s not Wicca. For instance, in Wicca, there are 4 officiants in every circle, and a large part of Wicca is learning to create meaningful spiritual rituals for large groups of people, learning to provide professional level spiritual counseling, and many other things. Wicca is not just about the self. Wicca is about becoming clergy for others and for yourself. No amount of "you don’t need instruction to be Wiccan" from the uninitiated makes what I’m saying untrue. You can call a grilled cheese sandwich a plate of spaghetti, but it won’t make it so. Again, not saying that being an eclectic Neo-Pagan is a bad thing. I think it’s a fine thing. It’s not Wicca, though.

Further, potion and spell books are not used by Wiccans because part of the training given in Wicca is learning to write your own spells and create your own potions. Now, let me clarify that Wicca is a religion and spells and potions are a tiny, tiny part of the practice. Mostly Wicca is about the Gods and creating rituals to help us interact with the Divine. However, in Traditional Wicca, energy work for outcome, also known as spell work, does constitute part of the oathbound Tradition.

Regardless of what you call yourself or how you relate to the Gods, I do think that the following books are good and I encourage my own students to read them:
"Paganism: An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions," by Higgenbotham
"Ethics and the Craft," by Coughlin
Anything by Buckland
Anything by Grimassi
Penzcak is pretty good
Deborah Blake is good for beginners
If you want simple "spells," although I cringe when I think of getting this from a book, Dorothy Morrison’s "Everyday Moon Magic" doesn’t suck, however it’s "Wicca Kindergarten Lite."
Cunningham also is good for basics but is "Wicca Kindergarten Lite" and doesn’t even mention the Great Rite.
"A Witch’s Bible," by the Ferrars is good but remember not all Trads practice ritual nudity.

I advise you to stay away from Silver Ravenwolf (unethical and just plain wrong…sorry), McCoy (horrible scholarship), and Andrews (whatever a person who calls himself a Wiccan does is Wicca…that’s his philosophy and it’s not factual). However, even horrible books have some value, so if you want, read them all!

Best of luck on your path, whatever it is, whether you choose to create your own Neo-Pagan solitary practice or pursue a Traditional education in Wicca. It’s all good if it works for you.

Oh, another thing. Never heard of a pathfinder. Not part of any Wicca I know.

What are some of the highest rated SUVs?

I currently drive an 06 Jeep Liberty. Looking to upgrade to a different SUV. I want a Toyota 4Runner (05 or newer) or a Nissan Pathfinder, but both are relatively expensive, even used.

Because of my age and credit, Im limiting myself to a loan of 15,000-16,000 and the rest will be my downpayment in cash. However, because of my area, I’m seeing a lot of our 4Runners reselling in the 20-25k range, depending on miles and such.

I am hoping to broaden my searching- I have read and heard amazing reviews on both the 4runner and the pathfinder. I am partial to buying an imported car since my American-made Jeep has done nothing but disappoint..

Is there a list or a website where I can see the highest consumer rated SUVs on the market? I know that everyone has a different opinion on makes and models, so I’d like to find a website that includes many reviews, not just a few.

As far as a good website I’d suggest Consumer Reports. An online subscription costs $7 a month $29 a year, but you can read all of their reviews for free at your local library.

As far as which SUVs you should be looking at check out the Kias and Hyundais. For the last few years they have been making some of the best cars on the road but because of their bad reputation of several years ago the still sell for less than the Toyota and Nissans.

what used SUV would be best? CR-V, explorer, escape, toyota? pathfinder, plus/minuses? MPG and reliability?

looking for a used SUV for under 6000…what would be the best buy? dont want to be crammed with decent MPG and reliability

The CRV or RAV4 is the way to go. The others do not get good gas mileage and are not as reliable. I had a Pathfinder and loved it, but it got about 18-19mpg. My CRV gets about 25.5 mpg avg.
