After getting my arm in the door and taking pics looking for it i finally lo cfc ated this thing jammed in the side impact bar. I had felt it a few times and though it was part of the door assembly. Bloody thing is huge!!

I spent some time on it this weekend. So close gents.
So i tested the roof lights and they did not work. I noted also the rear light not working and the air free spool not working. Damn it. Traced the trigger back off the high beams and was all good.
Out with the passenger seat and flipped the console again damn it.
Traced the circuit for the roof light and had 12v at the B pillar. Had 12v outside the roof! Damn! Dead light bar??? Surely not.!!!! No. The dickhead that fitted the Anderson plug reversed the polarity..... easy fix but had to wreck the silicon.
Fixed.
Took the inner guard and inside door trim off the back door and while jiggling the wire on the relay the bloody light came on. Cut and replaced a couple of connectors and good to go.
Tested the and air freespool and everything works
The rear airlocker didnt work last trip out so had a look at it. Had air at the diff so removed the fitting from the housing and its blocked. I will bit a new fitting kit and might avoid stripping the rear diff which is a bloody winner.
Nearly there gents.
Getting bloody close now.
Many little jobs finished. Fitted the grille. Parker lights. Filled the winch with oil.
Trying to adjust the bonnet and snapped a bolt damn it so the bonney had to cone off!
Took the opportunity to run the washers back in and fit some LED Lighting.

Looks good Darren, What make and specs are on the air compressor?
In case you were wondering. A 12mm soft shackle is Massive!!

That used 100inches of 12mm rope. Made one with 60inches and could not complete it was too small.

Hi Phil. I have a 3/4hp Big Boss. Early model. At the time it was the bomb, when it dies i will buy a double arb jobQuote:

Problem is the previous splice was hideous ans at end of life and a mess. Add to that sun faded colours. And im colour blind....
6 hours yesterday and another 8 hours today making completely new looms for both sides. Back to basics. Typical bloody Nissan though there is bulk loom in there that is not being used and a couple of extra wires cost me hours of trolling through the factory manual electrical section looking at bloody wiring diagrams looking for a colour that didnt even exist. You Shit me Nissan.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/04/83.jpg
Looms removed.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/04/84.jpg
New looms made long enough to comfortably remove the full lights without restriction.
