Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Had the Radio fuse blown inside the engine bay area while I was doing some audio stuff work inside the central console,but before I identified which one was it I have removed and checked all fuses from inside the car. After puting everything back all above lights are ON. Although left and right indicators work, there is no arrows on the dashboard to show which way I'm indicating... Car drives OK I think, I moved it on the drive way, seems to be OK... The gauge on the right just shows ---- and won't take any commands when pressing the buttons on the dash, for instance showing MPG, REV limit, etc. Tried ECU reset, don't seem to work, EML doesn't come ON. What else? :-| Thanks! UPDATE: Now with photos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Sorry I'm not sure but did this not happen when you blow the bcm? When mine went it didnt do that, but I wouldnt rule out the BCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I blew the stereo fuse in the engine bay a while back, i just changed the one fuse and all good no issues like yours... Sounds like you might need to get the car plugged into a consult machine rather than just buying lots of random bits..... hope you get it sorted quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Torque app doesn't find any errors in the ECU... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hopefully just a blown fuse or one in the wrong place maybe.... Weird, hopefully someone knowledgable will be along soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 How can I check if the BCM is gone without using specialist equipment? Reading Chinese at the moment on the service manual ---> BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I know you said you did the ECU reset but its critical to get the sequences right. Did you follow this guide: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=89 I would give it another go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yes, I did it several times in the past, but the EML light doesn't come on at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Had similar with other cars, youve blown one of the dashboard fuses Id say, probably the ABS one as well. However, someone was telling me the other day 350's dont use fuses as such and as Ive never had an issue I cant tell you how to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 From my experience (could be wrong though) the BCM appears to control the lights on the dash. When my BCM died the dash lights all behaved very strangely, flickering before finally just going out! After re-reading the orignal post, it very much points to the BCM. Again when mine gave up the indicators themselves worked but the light on the dash didnt. Likely a new BCM is needed. Make sure you have definately re-plugged in everything properly and they contacts are all good. I seem to remember someone saying the BCM wasnt fused, so if you short across it somehow, you can very easily blow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Adrian, I had a spare BCM in Wales mate. If you need one I can post in Monday for Tuesday Delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Torque app is crap so don't bother using it on a 350z I think you need to go through all fuses under the bonnet mate before going any further and give me a call when your with the car and I will talk you through a few other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Now fixed, back with more details in few minutes... STUPID ME!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 What was it? you change the wrong fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Right... Don't shoot, I know, I'm an idiot! After testing all fuses one by one with the multimeter: I thought it may be a good idea to plug the air con white box back, but from what I remember it never did this before with the box unplugged. Anyway, sorry to bother all of you, it's all working perfectly fine, heading to Nottingham in few hours. What a relief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Don't feel bad Adrian, I had a similar issue yesterday with my Roadster. The roof would not open, not even a purr or a click. After 10 minutes serious head scratching I noticed that the passenger seat was missing. Stuck the seat back in, hooked up the wiring and guess what, full roof operation back to normal.
