hello house,

pls i am in search of a very competent electrician (rewire; as they are fondly called) to fix my infiniti fx35 2005 version.

the last one was working on a stuck window regulator driver side and ended up short circuiting a wiring system in the door;

next thing vehicle went dead. condition of vehicle now:

horn works
passenger automatic seat works
headlamps works
brake lamps works
hazard works

driver automatic seat dead
key dead . . insert key into ignition, there is no chime . . also key doesn't even turn
and the steering isn't locked. key refuses to turn. intelligent key system dead too (from dead battery on key fob though)
so i am stuck with mechanical key.
all interior lights dead

really need to fix this baby as it's my daily commute.

location: Ajah

or is there a step by step guide on what i can do to revive it . . .

we checked most of the fuses and relays and they were fine; so need an experienced hand; not trial and error method.

thanks

My services are available

I am expensive....but you will get your vehicle fixed once and fixed right!

Thanks.

Does this ride start

Does this ride start

Ride was perfect until the short circuit

No, when you insert the key into ignition

it doesnt even turn [as in it doesnt rotate, like it is stiff]

half of car is dead, half is alive as explained above

I'm suspecting the BCM has been partially damaged. A scan tool with requisite capability would detect concerned modules.

You are very correct. Bcm most likely culprit. He needs to run a scan first

I have this small scanner we connected to the OBD port or what is it called?

The scanner comes alive and says "waiting for vehicle to respond" .

well vehicle cannot respond because ignition will not turn on.

Your profile says Abuja . . . I am in Lagos

Distance is no issue for me...

Distance certainly was no issue for the clients here who valued quality over price https://www.nairaland.com/4644144/meet-british-nigerian-gideon-king-love-vendor

Lagos to Abuja is 10 to 12 hours away by road and less than 3 hours by flight including travel time to the airport and travel time to Ajah

You can always pick someone in Lagos, but if you can't find any...I am available if you need me

Plus I have an excellent working relationship with the Nissan overlord Costee, our partnership would get you out of the woods in record time

And you would be assured of a job done right, once and for all.

I know it will cost an arm and leg... but I will travel at short notice for the right price.

Just another option in your kitty

Hm. The ignition switch, which is an electrical component, seems to have been damaged. You'd have to address that to move forward.

You need a bidirectional scan tool

Does your's uses a smart key?

mayor2013:

Still, it can't diagnose with engine off.

When an technician works on a vehicle's wiring systems without access to the vehicle's wiring diagrams, what is he?

I ask this question because I had a discussion recently in which technicians who work on a vehicle's wiring without reference to the vehicle's wiring diagrams were called wizards and magicians.

One of the first things that is taught in a vehicle electrical electronics class is to obtain, study and use wiring diagrams when working on a vehicle's wiring system.

Sometimes the magic works as intended, sometimes it doesn't at other times, the magic can cause unintended consequences.

I think I will use this to illustrate what happens when one decides to be a magician instead of a technician and the adverse effects when the magic fails.

mayor2013:

Good question. I was assuming all along that it was a conventional key. But reading his posts again, the OP seems to have a prox twist knob.

If it's a prox twist knob here's the way I see it. The BCM is damaged. Install another BCM, and programme the key starting with steering lock release, a process that begins with engine off.

Costee:

That's were I was heading too. Nice one

mayor2013:

Yes it uses an intelli-key where i can start the engine with the fob in my pocket;

However battery died, couldn't get original battery as the ones i got kept dying quickly so i switched to the manual [mechanical] key

Costee:

I definitely can't handle this on my own; can you come in, sir?

Yes, it's a prox twist knob. I had to google that and saw what you meant

To be absolutely sure, could you post the VIN, or send it to the number in my signature.

Just follow costee ideal,the BCM is faulty get another BCM.X100 pro or x300 pro3 will do the steering lock,get the pin code and program the bcm

Sending via text.

Thanks

Okay house, i am sorry this update is coming late . . work and all but i feel it is proper i inform you that the issue has been fixed.
I had approached 2 sound engineers on this forum; kudos.
But at that point, I was invited by the Honorable Costee for a private chat. We went through the issue together on whatsapp.
And it pointed towards the BCM. He invited me over to his domain; led me to his dealer and after what seemed like hours of searching,
we finally found a replacement, exact part number. Took it home; managed to install it, not without some bruises though, and car came back to life, except that it would crank but not start. One or two calls were made, and a key programmer came within the hour and car was back to life.
I owe this fix to Costee; a very fine and accommodating gentleman.
And to AUtoElectNG, you are amazing. We still have a lot to work on sometime soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hear, hear!

Hello House, I have an issue with my Infiniti fx35 2005. It is a tokunbo I bought in February thus year before the lockdown. Before the lockdown, it was working perfectly. When the lockdown started, I parked it but unfortunately the heavy rain at the period came in through the roof.

I air dried the car and started covering the car. After the lockdown, I wanted to ho out and realised that the wiper, the ac, the side mirrors stopped working at the same time.

There is nothing I have not done to get them working. Gone to different self proclaimed professionals, nothing. I went to First Gate Auto village, nothing. I went to ladipo and changed BCM and Fuse box different times, yet nothing. I have scanned and scanned. I have programmed and programmed. Nothing.

I am told it should be wiring fault. And i am very careful which rewired to give it to. So, that he will not destroy the car.

HELP!!!!
