Does that truck have the move to a warm climate option?
For now, just the garage.

Not fuel pump relay, ECM relay. Call the dealer, see if it has an open recall, it may be free!
Will do.
Yes, the battery cable ends have been replaced with the lead style (like from the 70's). Not sure if did it, as this truck was my father-in-law's that he purchased new. Also, I charged the battery last night with a very old, heavy, but functional charger, and then put my tester on it. It read 12.75 volts (engine off). Then hit it with the 50 amp test load and it indicated "weak", so going to start with a new battery, and then some of the other stuff mentioned.
I'm curious to know how lead terminals can be a problem, if you keep them cleaned?

Are there duplicated relays? My old F-250 had mutiple of the same relay part number.
Maybe you could maybe swap them around?
How much does a new relay cost? 2007 is only 15 (16) years old...
Definitely, checking that this weekend.

Oh no, it's definitely Oscar, he's in a parka and lighting a fire when it crosses below 70.
LOL. Surprised he's not more vocal about it.

I have always cleaned and lubed the buttons on all bikes at every oil or tire change.
I have never seen one this loose. The other side, and my XX don't move like this.
It's why I ask.
And yes, I know that my caliper is loose. My daughter dropped the bike, so I am replacing the to speedo sensor 😏
Looks like someone did a brake caliper upgrade. Those caliper brackets look just like the ones I bought, so I could mount CBR600 brakes on my '06 SV650. Was definitely worth the effort. Sorry, no advice on the buttons.

Oscar, I think the only person that would hate cold-weather diagnostics more than me is Carlos, but I'm sure that is what it will take to find the problem. No alarm on the truck, except for factory. I need to try the other key to see if it's the "chip". I'm 99.99% sure it isn't the battery. Same one as last winter, 2 years old, cranks strong for as long as you dare abuse the starter and cables, but I might try a jump, as it's easy and free.
I did a little research this morning after posting, and at least got some ideas where to start. One person mentioned a faulty fuel pump wiring harness. Another mentioned corroded fuel pump relay. Back in March, I listened for the fuel pump "whir", and remember hearing it, but will reaffirm that next time.
Mike, I'm with you on having a fuel pressure sensor. Should be standard. Scan tool could be 20 years old. It was my dad's, and certainly made before the truck. No idea on the brand.

I pride myself on being able to fix most anything mechanical, so this post is me being desperate (to not have to take it to a shop).
My son's 2007 Nissan Frontier V6, 150K miles, has an (somewhat intermittent) issue with cold weather. If it's below 40 degrees (only seems to be in the morning when stone cold), it will crank, but doesn't want to start/fire. Not even a little bit. It's like all the spark plugs/coils are disconnected, or all of the injectors are disconnected. I have smelled the exhaust pipe after cranking for 10-15 seconds, and get no raw fuel smell, so I'm thinking it's something in the fuel system that won't let the injectors fire. Check engine light is not on, and there are no codes. It had this problem last winter, too, but son wasn't driving to school until late Feb. Didn't happen enough times to want to dig into it.
Furbird, is this anything you ever heard about from your Nissan dealer days?

Where can I see and read more about this one?
My brain is in full engineer mode.

Not quite sure what you mean by polarity of the relay. You say you already tested them. Wouldn't that have been apparent during the test?
Don't think polarity matters on a single-pole, single-throw relay. It certainly doesn't on the switch terminals.
Looking at the diagrams above, the fuel-cut relay, or what powers it is the problem. The engine stop relay doesn't appear to provide power or ground for the fuel-cut relay. Good luck.

We did my Dad's new garage floor with Thompson's Water Seal (before the Gov. mandated formula change). Probably about 1990. Ten years later you could still easily wipe up most spills with little to no evidence, except maybe the high-traffic areas. We did two coats right after we finished the roof and walls.

Relax. You killed the mouse when you turned the headlights on. Problem solved.

I've ridden two delinked bikes and they felt different from each other. And in both cases, I felt like I had *less* control and feedback all around. Do not recommend.
If you are doing track days, or you're just a very aggressive canyon rider, I recommend the de-link. Otherwise, don't bother unless you really need new brake lines and don't want to spend a fortune for the whole kit, or a lot of time bleeding the system.

I remember this one. Love the short hair. Love the bike, too.
I know that was Kent Stotz's pro-street race bike, but was that his wife?

Unless it has been sitting completely empty of fuel, get a new FPR (fuel pressure regulator).

I'll make 3000$. It should cover airplane tickets, etc.
You have no idea what slipper clutch and other things I've mentioned can do to bump start.
You are back to being ignorant retard again.
I'll record your futile attempts and post on YouTube so people can laugh.
If not for that slipper clutch, I might have been planning a long weekend trip the Land of Lincoln. Does the VFR also have a slipper clutch?

Me too. It would be nearly impossible to do that, of course, but definitely bad for the bike. Probably wouldn't blow up the battery like it did.
I've jump started a motorcycle with a car battery (not mounted in a car), but the bike battery still had 12 volts (barely) with no load, and I only touched the clamp to the positive terminal long enough to start the bike. Like 5 seconds.
If the bike battery had a very low charge (like 6 volts), I could see it being similar to putting a 50 amp charger on the thing. Boom!

I can't tell you how many times I've loosened a bolt that "there's no way to loosen" without employing the fire wrench. There's a bunch of stuff that can loosen a stuck bolt that many people don't try. I've also had many that looked like there was nothing wrong and I had to drill/cut them, most commonly in aluminum or stainless.
Aluminum, stainless, and brass are the sluts of the nut and bolt world. They love to mingle.

Sounds to me like you're completely out of brake fluid in the rear system.

Was the interior of that yellow behemoth done in shag carpet? LOL.
That is a special kind of ugly.

My old Dy-Mag wheels would have looked great with that paint. I also like the gold wheels, but I'm thinking the polished part of the rims would look better as red on the front, and black on the rear.

I felt 60+ yesterday so "seat of the pants feel" I've already won this race.
If we start talking about seats, you win. I still have a great ass, according to my wife.
In the knee department, I got something for ya.👴

Wierd Problem with Nissan Frontier (Help!)
in The Garage
Posted · Edited by jon haney
LOL. My son talks like he wants to keep it forever. Probably end up as wealthy as that truck guy over in the 10mm socket thread of the Atlas tear-down. Can't remember who posted that pic.
