Hello all. Let me be as detailed as possible to help you, help me.
I have a 2003 SE SC Xterra. Was just exiting the highway when my truck started bucking and making strange noises, before shutting off. Completely dead in the middle of the street, no hazard lights or anything. I got out, popped the hood, notified the positive battery terminal broke off. I managed to wedge it enough to get the truck started again and move to a safe place. I popped the hood again and noticed a whirring sound. Did a quick google and found out it's the ABS module fan.
-Is the ABS module toast or can it be remedied by a fuse?...or another solution?
I made the connection a little more secure and started heading back home. I noticed several things:
1) Only one headlight was working...on high beam.
2) Taillights were out.
3) No hazard lights.
-Fuzes again, maybe? Blown out lights?
4) The acceleration is better than it's ever been. I've never had strong acceleration with full boost. I've always had lag, which I chalked up to either a crack in the manifold, clogged cat or a sensor. I hope it stays this way lol. Thoughts?
I managed to get it home in one piece, disconnect the battery to stop the ABS fan, and manually locked the doors, as my door locks don't work. I didn't check for fuzes, as we are expecting a major storm.
Before I i go troubleshooting, I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice.
Thank you so much. I hope I provided suggest detail.
