im getting a clicking sound from under the dash and my power windows dont work.

it began when i started the car whilst at the very same time put both windows up...

i assume there was a high current draw and something went click then windows stopped dead.

i have swapped the elec window relay in the engine bay around with the others and its not that.

The car starts and runs fine..... stereo, interior lighting, dash, lights, signals.....basically everything works all ok except for the clicking at regular intervals. when the click happens there is a current drain cos all the lights dim then its ok for a few seconds till it clicks again.

after checking all the fuses i found the mirrors/wipers fuse was blown but i havent used either of the items for so long i dont know if it was pre existing. that was replaced and the wipers work fine but the clicking is still there.

its not the black box in the door cos ive had/fixed that problem before

I've traced the clicking sound down to this....

what is it and what does it do? it only has 2 pins but clicks like a relay.

im yet to track one down and relace it....hopefully thats all that went wrong, but im curious to know what it is.

Probably the circuit breaker. Basically an automatically resettable fuse, it limits current in the power window circuit when the windows reach full travel so that the main fuse(s) don't blow. Sounds like yours might have called it a day. It's probably common to many Nissan cars with power windows and it should have the part number on it somewhere so shouldn't be hard track one down.

yea i found out today from nissan it is a circuit breaker but they didnt know what for...

cheers tho, now i do.

unfortunately i got one from a wrecker today (from a working car and at a fraction of the cost of a new one) and it still trips... gotta be a short somewhere in the power window circuit...time to fault find!

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
