I just bought a 1988 Pathfinder that I'm happy about, except that a week after I bought it, something like this has happened. I hope to write long, wonderful stories about how I've tricked it out, and read and reply in kind to yours. But right now, I've got to get this thing running. This pointed me in the right direction, but my situation has an added twist.
When I turn the crank, either the 15A fuse to the ECCS blows, and/or the fusable link between the positive terminal on the battery and the starter relay (or the ECCS, I'm not sure). Is this the same thing, or do I have a short somewhere?
Of course, the friend I bought it off of never had this problem in the two years he drove it.
Any help would be welcome, as I can't really afford to take it to a mechanic (I just bought the dang thing).
Thanks. I'll take the Pathy less traveled.
