Major Power Windows Problem

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.

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.

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.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
