Hi guys.....had a great week, till this happened on the way home.... Got the furious-horns the rest of the way!

As per title, right side flashes at the correct rate....left fast flashes with no external globe action.

Though I know all globes are fine as they illuminate when alarm goes off.....although they are no longer in sync with each other!...lol..(left to right).....which leads me to think it's more a circuit issue.

Is it a modularised circuit that I, or heaven forbid, Nissan can replace....any ideas?

I don't believe there is a 'flasher-can' as such in these vehicles, and that all 'flashes' are driven by some sort os oscillator circuit..cool.(?)

And that is the part that worries me....how the hell will I fix this thing...lol.

Guys, if you've had this experience before, please do word me up, we don't need this 5hit.

If I can answer anything that could help you to help me....fire away!

Cheers!

indicators are a function of the BCM and the stalk is a function of the cluster and BCM. has anything else quit?

Hi Chris,

mate, from what I can tell it's just the L/H indicators.

If it was the BCM (a module under the dash?), what do you think I'd be up for?

Thanx for response Chris.

thing being it is all interlinked. so whilst it the fault may appear in one spot it will probably lie in another.

as an example:

had a car in here a few days back - no indicators - no dash lighting , cluster worked, engine light on,

AC lost memory. cause - missing fuse in the engine bay.

need to find someone down there that knows late model nissan. they are all similar in design despite the fact that yours is a 'grey' car.

Yep, I hear ya!...cwaaaaazzzzy stuff.

..Was always dreading this day, where something stupid would keep the V off the road. (legally anyway).

Car is going to FTG Nissan Monday, they told me they'll be plugging in some diagnostics to check things out.

I'm hoping it's just something simple..it really should be you'd think.(?)

I reckon it could possibly be the alarm install from a couple of years back(???)...was never happy with that....I don't know...we'll see.

Cheer mate.

Having an aftermarket front LEDs as indicators can make the car think thats is a busted glob and it will tell you it's busted by flashing fast on that side.

So it might pay to double check

Unless someone sneakely snuck some in there?

Cheers.

Hey Chris....seems I was right mate!

The aftermarket alarm was at fault, in focus, the installation thereof.

There are 2 small power diodes (probably of the IN4004 variety) that seclude part of the indicator circuit from the alarm indicator circuit. One had blown, and when the Nissan tech bridged this diode the left hand indicators started working again.

Now there could be long term issues if I continue to run the system in bypassed mode (or maybe there will be no issues), but I will be going back to TOWER AUDIO for the 3rd time with issues on their installation.

The dissing has to go to Tower Audio, as it's the 3rd time in 2 years that stupid things have rendered my car useless, due to their Alarm/install.....I'm farking over it....what next? I expect components to fail, but if you guys could see how crappy the aftermarket wiring around the BCM area is, you'd understand.

Now the KUDOS to Ferntree Gully Nissan......farking heroes in my book....$50 for half hour labour, and honesty....God love 'em!

Cheers!

out of curiosity - who are you dealing with at tower?

Hi Chris....over 6 odd years, all of them?

I'm pretty pissed off with them too mate....I have spent > a couple of thousand dollars with them, and something has always stuffed up, looking back on the work they've done to my cars.

I thought they were the best....ahhh, fark 'em.

so you have spoken to john at moorabbin at some point? he's been doing a few cars for me as of late.

the original owners sold the tower name and opened another shop elsehwhere I'm told.

looks like I should still do a run or two a year down there...

Chris, I just got the V35 back from Ferntree Gully Nissan this arvo, and as I'm working from home at the moment, and not my normal place in Moorabbin, haven't had the chance to go to Tower @ Kilpa Road, (Which I will be doing when back in Moorabbin).

Yes, there is another Tower Audio, just around the corner, more A/V, gizmo type stuff, nice shop, and nice people there.

Wish you could see my TowerAudio wiring job Chris, it's bullshit.

Think I might just solder in a new diode myself, I'd do a better job.

Cheers buddy.

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
