Major Power Windows Problem

[worldwalker]

I've read dozens of threads on here, 350 tech, g35 driver and cant seem to find anyone with the same problem I'm having.

Car is an 03 v35 coupe.

Yesterday my windows were all fine doing everything as they should. My door locks were all ok however the interior switch would lock but not unlock the doors (since I've had it).

I went to get some dinner and the auto "anti pinch" on the drivers side hesitated while the passenger side had dropped but now the door was closed wouldn't raise. I looked at the switch and noticed the illumination wasn't functioning and tried the switches which of course gave me nothing. Then the window switches flickers a quick tap (which I think did nothing) and the dropped 10mm as they should. Open and closed both windows fine, closed the doors and all working as they should.

I drove home (3-4 mins) and now the illumination is out, the main control switch doesn't control either window the passenger window switch operated the window down but not up (even with the lock switch activated) the pinch on both windows wasn't functioning, the door lock illumination is on but the switch does nothing, no tapping or playing about with the door helps.

The windows have worked fine up until this point. I've had no problems other than a lazy passenger side door lock which only plays up on a warm day.

I cant see that it would die instantly in this manor from a dirty motor so I'm thinking its either a BCM or main control switch. I cant drive the car anywhere because I cant get the windows up, nissan cant look at it for a week and the workshop manual I have is for the yank cars and the BCM is different so I cant test the units.

Nissan have quoted $400 for a BCM but it seems from reading I'll need to tune this as well. Is there anyone who can help me diagnose the issue and test the BCM and main switch failing that is there a good auto electrician who is able to sort these cars out quickly?

Any help would be appreciated.

try disconnecting the car battery for a period of 30 min or even more, i did this when my windows stopped responding and after that all worked fine. been fine for over 3 months now

Thanks, I've just tried this but unfortunately it hasn't helped. While on the topic of battery, it is a fairly new 610cc.

I'm thinking its most likely the switch unit as everything else seems to be working fine; its just the windows. I've booked it into a local auto sparky. I find it funny the number of adds in the yellow pages quoting "BCM repair".

I'd still love to get anymore advice that could help me sort this out ASAP.

Thanks.

Sorry in Melbourne. I'd have been on the phone to you in a second if I was in Brisy.

Just spoken to the auto electrician who's told me that his scan tool is able to access the windows but its coming up with a communication error. Unfortunately without a wiring diagram he is unable to to continue testing. I've also called Nissan FTG (local GTR dealer/biggest nissan dealership) but they said they don't have the wiring diagrams either.

I have the hacked workshop manual for the G35 from "heatsink ninja" would this be the same wiring digram or not? Does anyone have the wiring diagrams that I need? This problem is become more urgent.

Thanks for any help.
