Talked to my mechanic again today about the no indications of alternator/battery problems about to happen.
He said no codes of cam or crank sensors were indicated. Sometimes shiat just happens. All is running well but for a few weeks I won’t be straying too far. Just in case.
I asked my mechanic and he couldn’t really give me an answer why. I’ll dig a little deeper with him, I’m curious myself. The voltmeter gauge never gave me a hint of anything wrong and it always started instantly.
Things that make you go hmmmm…..
Turns out it was my alternator that failed plus dead battery.
Odd how I had no indication of either issue.
It’s always something. Hopefully the X isn’t a moneypit
Again I’m not mechanically inclined, but read well.
The ABS and SLIP lights were on. Would the brake position switch be a place to check also ?
Odd how it doesn’t restart too. Hopefully when my mechanic guru is back next week it’s not a BIG deal.
So…
Every thing is running fine in my 2010 off-road ( 92k miles ).
Yesterday pulling away from a stop light I instantly have no ability to go more than 2 miles an hour. Engine doesn’t rev.
The ABS and SLIP light are on. I limp into a parking lot and call AAA for a tow home.
Truck doesn’t...
Thanks for the intel.
I will order the nineo’s after I get 2 retaining rings.
Just in case Murphy shows up.
Next I’ll be looking into a radio upgrade, way too much fumbling around with the original while driving.
Thanks all for the help in my led fog light conversion. Love the wider and brighter output.
I was so impressed I figured why not do the same for the headlights ? What a fine kettle of fish this is turning out to be. I have a 2010 OffRoad. The more I lookup information the more nebulous it gets...
Thanks for the replies. I live in a coastal location in Massachusetts.
Fog is common, as is rain and snow. I’m looking to just do a straight bulb swap. The brighter yellow the better.
Any first hand recommendations on a plug and play yellow LED fog light bulb replacement ?
Everything I look up claims they’re the best. Looking for bright and yellow.
2010 Off Road X
Having just bought a 2010 off road Xterra I’m grateful for info I’m gleaming off this site.
I am changing the radiator this week for peace of mind. The previous owner just had the complete exhaust system done over a few months ago. On the highway it sounds like my old Harley. Do the Xterras have...
Being new to all things Xterra, how concerned should I be about SMOD ?
I have a 2010 off road, everything appears fine.
The radiator part number is 21460 ZL11A.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.
Just purchased a 2010 Off Road w 92k on it. Pretty clean ride, all it initially needed was tires. Looking forward to reading about things I should look out for as well as things I should look forward to.
