The ole pathfinder has some kind of weird electrical problem.
New battery, alternator seems to be generating a decent charging voltage around 14+ volts. It starts fine and runs good, but some of the accessories just don't work right. The dash voltmeter reads lower than my voltmeter on the battery. Put on the turn signals and the voltmeter bounces in time to the flashes. Turn on the headlights and the relays on the fuse box buzz and the whole electrical system goes crazy. Same with windows.
Going to run some more tests later to see if I can narrow things down.
Very frustrating in this heat to not be able to roll the windows down...
