2003 V35 250gt-m Sedan

[theponyremark]

I recently purchased a base model V35. It's got navigation/TV and a single DIN head unit. I'm 95% through installing an alarm system, wired up everything except the door lock and unlock. I can't seem to find anything on the web with a 4 plug BCM with pin ID and functionality. All the references I have found refer to BCMs of non-premium and premium models. I opened the drivers door and tried to track it back but can't seem to find it inside the car. Anyone out there with a workshop manual for the base model?

Also, everything else in the car works, except for the side indicator ticking/sound. The indicators work as per usual, with no sound. I know it's not the BCM as the indicator lights are working. The key warning chime works and also leaving the headlights on chimes. Nissan Data Scan gives me a generic U1000 "CAN" error. Any ideas? Chris Rogers?

You need it on a Consult 3, Data scan aint going to communicate.

If the BCM is the problem, you can't just go swapping them, they likely need reprogramming off your existing BCM. Trying to repair the board would probably be easier.

Not sure if these run a flasher relay or if the bcm runs them directly... I would have to check the diags.

Is it only the ticking noise you are worried about?

Thanks scotty nm35. Thankfully for me, the BCM and combination meter are a-okay. I have found verified on the G35 forums that the V35's and G35's have an intermittent issue with the "ticker" / "buzzer" unit inside the combination meter (speedometer). Sometimes the combination meter doesn't receive "full" signal from BCM. Following the steps below, I have remediated that ticking noise to emulate a turn signal indicator relay:

1. Turn off engine
2. Take key out
3. Open drivers door
4. Put on either left or right indicator
5. Put key back in and let it chime
6. Turn turn key to "ON" without igniting the car

At step number 6, the indicator sounds as per usual. I have also read from the G35 forums, if you reach step 6 and find that it doesn't work, while the engine is running:

1. Put the indicator on (doesn't matter left or right)
2. Pull-off the drivers kick-panel fuse cover
3. Pull out the 10 Amp fuse that control the turn signal indicators (http://g35driver.com/forums/attachments/audio-video-electronics/79204d1194026302-installed-invisicord-blown-fuse-miles-reset-green-blinker-dash-lights-clock-dead-homelink-fuse.jpg)
4. Put the 10 Amp fuse back in

It sounds like the relay for the buzzer is sticky, and doing that may get it moving again. Anyway, good info.
