2007 Pathfinder Fuel Sending Unit Repair
Просмотров 90 тыс.10 лет назад
Repair of a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel Sending Unit using a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer Sending Unit. Don't replace the entire pump assembly. Search Ebay for "New Premium High Performance OEM Replacement Fuel Level Sensor" with P/N SK1158....was $15. I had to use a Dorman 911-013 due to local availability. I replaced the "wiper" only and saved $$$.
Just found this and you are going to save me alot of money thanks heaps mate, was it hard dropping the fuel tank to get this unit out,
How do you get that out, where is it located on the vehicle? Mine is an 08 pathfinder
Nice vedio.my pathfinder 2008 gauge not working it only very time start diff reading did u have same prob .is this mounted on tank or inside tamk
Great video. Have you had any further issues after replacing just the blade? I have a 2006 Pathfinder and I'm having this fuel gauge problem too. I'd like to use your approach but would like to know if you had any other issues arising from just replacing the wiper instead of the all sending unit as a mechanic recommended to do
I had no issues but have just recently sold the vehicle.
great information sir 👍👍
I'm having the same problem on my 06 altima 2.5 whith the. fuel level sensor. code p0462. and my check engine light is on i need that fuel wiper arm. can some one send me the number where to call please
I just checked eBay but cannot verify this one - www.ebay.com/itm/New-Premium-High-Performance-Fuel-Level-Sensor-Sending-Unit-SK1158-SK1159-/170666213428 It says it fits an SK1158? Evidently the SK1158 is an AC Delco part number. The Dorman 911-013 is available on Amazon if you prefer ( www.amazon.com/Dorman-911-013-Fuel-Level-Sensor/dp/B0075D0U5A ). At the time i used the Dorman but it was more expensive.
Hello, very nice video, very impressive information, you are very smart. I have 07frontier and I get the"service"light on, and the fuel gage won't work, eventually reads the correct level at half tank, auto zone said is the fuel pump replacement job, I wonder if I can do just sending unit replacement only thank you
Thanks for your comments. I checked with Auto Zone and see that the 07 Pathfinder and the 07 Frontier (6cyl) use the same fuel pump. If that is the case it will probably work for your vehicle.
do you have a vid on where it is on the car and replacing it?
It is inside the fuel tank. Unfortunately you have to lower the fuel tank and remove the pump assembly. There are many videos that show how this is done.
would this fit 2007 nissan frontier? my fuel gauge is sending error and check engine light is on. thnx!
Not sure, others have tried it on the xterra. I would suspect it is the same??
Thank you very much sir! it works 100%, saves us a lot of money if get it fix by bringing it to nissan dealer, very nice video though...Thank you.
Thank You for the information, it is really a big help to those like me that looking for the solution in an inexpensive way, this is thumbs up!!!!! Thanks again.
I am excited that this has helped other!
Thank you very much for this excellent suggestion. I just replaced my fuel sending unit wiper at my 2005 xterra and it works. I followed exactly your instructions and magic happened! The dealer wanted $122 for the level sending unit while I fixed it with $15 (bought the part on ebay). Thanks again for this very helpful video.
WOW! thanks for this! This whole time I thought the float wasn't floating like a broken toilet.
This worked 100% on my 2008 Nissan pathfinder. The strips on the fuel float are much thicker and more solid than the nissan factory ones. I imagine that would allow for longer life. Thank you for making this video!
2003 Pathfinder unit went bad in February. Have been to 3 mechanics. Best information so far.
You still need to lower the gas pump assembly to get to the sensor correct? Seems like alot of work for a beginner?
We have the same 07 Pathfinder Premium. Does yours have a service port in the body for access to this unit?
my mommy has a nissan pathfinder
My dealership wants $1100 to replace the whole unit. Excellent video thanks.
Worked like a charm!!! $16 buck from Amazon. How did you figure this out? Either you're a car mechanic (and done many repairs) or you work in an industry that build fuel sensors. Nice work!
+John Thomas Do you have link of what your purchased.
Sorry, I purchased this from EBay, not Amazon! Here is the link......... www.ebay.com/itm/370924410078?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Still working great!
No, not a mechanic. Actually an engineer on a budget!! How I figured it out?......Well I did not want to pay top dollar to replace the fuel pump. After removal i checked the signal from the sending unit and noticed the wiper issue. I first tried to re-bend the fingers but it didn't work. I essentially went to google searched for pictures of sending units. That is how i narrowed down similar units. I then went to the local parts store and pulled other sending units that i believed to be similar. Making the video was the really effort! I decided to "pay it forward" because i too have found many videos that have saved my day. Thanks for all the great comments.
Hey, anyone who comes up with a way to save people hundreds of thousands of dollars (we all know most Nissans have this issue) deserves recognition!. Thumbs up ! Now if we could figure out how to do it without taking the tank down :P

Didn't Nissan have a recall for this issue? Repair would have been free of charge correct?
+Javier Quintanilla The recall extended your warranty until May 2013 or 72k miles w/e came first. Mine started well after those two markers.
+Javier Quintanilla I have a 2008 Pathfinder, and when i enter the VIN to do a recall search at Nissan's site - nothing comes up. Not this, not the crash sensor issue (though i have that problem - airbag light on)..nothing... I won't buy a NIssan again. They're a bunch of crooks. My fuel level sensor failed 2 days after the warranty expired. Dealer wants $460... The window switch failed - one single sliding SMD component that probably costs 5 cents... can't buy it...must buy entire assembly for $200+..Crooks.
Thank you so much bought the same Dorman sensor and the wiper arm worked for my 07 xterra. Cheers.
Thank you and will try it on mine 2007 Nissan Pathfinder.
did it work ?
do u think this part will work on nissan versa 2007 ? i appreciate your reply thanks.
Exactly what I need
Thank you. This saved me a lot of money. I did it to my 2006 xterra but that sending unit arm from dorman worked perfectly.
Being that the fuel level sending unit and fuel pump are one whole assembly it just makes no sense to fix just one part of it (the level sender in this case). You'll be causing yourself more work later on when you have to drop the tank again to replace the whole fuel pump. Not everyone has the time, luxury, or know-how to take smaller parts apart like in this video. Best advuce is just to replace the entire assembly so you don't have to deal with it for a long time if ever again. Simply pull the old pump/level sender assembly out and install the new one. Done and over with.
+MUSTANG408W Ha, it's not a domestic. The fuel pumps RARELY fail (tons of nissans with 200k+ with no issue). And usually when I hear about one it's b/c of women running the tank nearly bone dry every time before fill up.
+David Smith I never said anything about dealing with a dealership. I'm a Do-It-Yourselfer, too. I maintain what I said about just replacing the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, it good to know you can do this, but it isn't easy for a lot of people out there to do their own work and when it IS feasable why chance replacing one part of an assembly that's hard to get to only to have to drop the tank soon afterwards to replace the other part of the pump assembly? That's what I'm getting at. Save the effort and time by just doing the entire assembly all at once. "Work smarter, not harder" (not implying you're dumb or anything, just saying).
+TheGuruStud I agree with you there's plenty of Nissan trucks out there with a lot of miles on them. Doesn't mean they'll last forever does it? I know. Foreign or domestic doesn't make a difference, either. I've replaced one in a 2005 Pathfinder with 140K and on a 2007 Xterra with only 79K on it. Fuel keeps the pump cool internally regardless of the fuel level inside the tank. Fuel pumps don't get "hot" per say the way people think. If they did the pumps would be external to the tank, not internal. I know fuel systems as I work on aircraft powerplants and they are a lot more complcated than a car/truck fuel system.
Did you reuse the rubber O ring? Do you have a good deal on those too? Thanks for the video, can't wait to do this in the spring.
Thank you very, very much for your time in putting this video together. I've got this problem now with my 2005 Nissan X-Terra. NAPA Auto Parts has quoted me over $700 to replace the entire module. Quite a funny thing to do, considering that only that one small plastic piece needs replacement. Thanks.
Thank you for you video, just I change my,now the fuel level gauge read, and the check light off, just the wiper,just one problem, one of the screws holding the gas tank went break,took me about three hours out with my drill and bits, but only spent $ 12.75 for the sensor, $ 10 bit and 50 cents a screw, but I save good money
