Cranking Battery load test: Disable ignition Connect DVM to battery posts Crank engine for 15 seconds while monitoring the DVM readings. Battery should be at least 9.6 volts at the end of the 15 second load test with battery at 70 degrees F. With battery at 60 degrees F., 9.5 volts. The reading...

Thanks for the replies. The battery tests 12.6 volts at rest and 14.3 volts at idle. A load test with DVM is in spec. It's an auto. I haven't had a chance to try any more tests this week...work is getting in the way. Cheers

The battery was purchased within the last eight months by me. The capacity is larger than the OEM, but fits in the tray (AGM/ group 24F/ cca 840/ capacity 76 ah) We are on the coast, but spend lots of time with family in the Ridgecrest area. New terminals were installed because we have plans...

Thanks for the replies. The jumper cables get attached to the corresponding terminals on the batteries. The key is turned to start. Burleyman, The battery is in clean/excellent condition. Absolutely no corrosion on any terminals or posts. I'll try your test with DVM leads on one post and check...

Looked for a firewall ground, but was not able to locate one. From what I saw, the body ground on the negative battery cable is it. Can anyone point me to it? Using the suggested tests in the above linked post: Starter Relay tests- Inhibit slot: With positive DVM lead to positive battery...

NaterXJ6, Thanks for the link! I joined that forum a couple days ago, but hadn't seen that thread. Excellent information! I'll be working my way through the fella's suggestions this weekend. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. The Xterra is "new"...my kid bought it off of a friend I wheel with. I had the same thoughts as you did regarding the grounding strap, but didn't see anything. I'll dig a bit deeper after work today. The rig is an auto, so no clutch cancel with involved. I tried cycling...

Thanks for the replies. When I replaced the battery terminals, I removed the ground from the battery to the block. Then I cleaned up the mating surfaces on the block and the grounding cable. Everything is clean and no corrosion was present. Where is the grounding strap between the block and and...

Thanks for the replies. No codes, and the crank position sensor is new (installed it about three months ago). No crank. When key is in the ON position, all of the gauges and dashboard operates as expected. When the key is turn to START, there is no crank and the gauges start shaking. When...

Greeting, 2006 Xterra Offroad After replacing the battery terminals I have a no start condition. The gauges shake when you try to start the rig. After a bit of research, it seems the most likely issue is power from the battery. The battery is new, battery terminals are new, ground is clean. The...

Here is a link to the FSM engine cooling section: http://www.pajero4x4.ru/piii/GR00007600-14.pdf Cheers

It is located in the engine block. Check your FSM. Access it by removing the wheel to reach the bottom of the block. If it's never been removed, there will likely be a lot of goop that may clog the hole once the plug is removed. If so, stick a pick or screwdriver in the hole to unplug the goop...

Did you pull the drain plug in the block when flushing the system?

I've had good luck finding OEM parts through these two suppliers... Partsouq has had fine service during the COVID shipping era. https://www.amayama.com/en https://partsouq.com Cheers

What size and load range tire are you running? Is the rig ladened, or "empty"? Around town, unladened I run about 32-35psi...Cooper, ST Maxx, 265/74/16, E load. Cheers

Check your rear differential mounts. Clean the bushings, and examine them carefully. Sounds like you've sourced it to the rear end...but the engine mounts are possibly shot as well. Likely to be an issue if the rig has seen many off-highway miles. (Mine were completely broken in half...not too...

Keep it coming!! Great thread! Cheers P.S. Go grab the plinker, but be sure the camera is running!

Nice find...any photos of the engine and drive train? Cheers

I would recommend using Mitsubishi parts for this repair, not aftermarket parts. ...just my two cents. Cheers
