jamess115 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hi people, I have spent many weeks now trying to diagnose the following faults with my JDM fairladyZ. 1. Reverse dipping mirrors do not operate 2. Corner sensors do not operate I recently had an experienced auto electrician look at the faults with no success. Regarding the mirrors, his advice was to first establish whether the ‘auto’ button underneath and to the right of the steering column is for the mirrors. (This has been suggested by other members) In regards to the corner sensors he said a wiring diagram is needed and cannot determine if there is power to the module. According to the set-up, he believes that these are original Nissan features. On the advice of Nissan UK, I contacted Nissan Japan but awaiting response. I am at the point now where I am getting tired of pouring in money to fault find these issues but resigning myself to paying Nissan dealer £75 diagnosis fee before they even fix anything. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Corner sensors as in parking sensors? Do you really need either of these features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) there is a button on lower dash that sometimes gets knocked by your knee this ables/disables the dipping mirrors trying pressing it then stick it in reverse, also ive never heard of corner sensors? also if you dont have a check engine light on i doubt (maybe wrong) that a code will come up so would be £75 wasted Edited April 15, 2014 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess115 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks boys. To answer your questions. Yes, I need the features. If they are on the car as genuine parts, naturally I want them working. Secondly, I have tried the auto button you describe for the mirrors. It does not work in all configurations. NB. The Corner Sensors are Corner Sensors but Parking Sensors if you prefer Edited April 15, 2014 by jamess115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 If this is a fuse issue let me know as my mirrors also refuse to dip on selecting reverse gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 do you're reversing lights work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess115 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes reversing lights work. I've looked at the fuse box and although there are many spaces, I don't believe there needs to be a fuse for this device to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have had all the fuses out and the pattern matches as per the Fuse diagram so t'aint that as regards my tilt mirrors . Might bite the bullet and let a local sparks have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess115 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Mudman - How do you know yours actually has the reverse tilt mirror feature? This is a dilemma I am facing. The sparky that looked that mine told me I would need to establish from Nissan Japan whether my car is so equipped. People on here have said that if there is a small 'auto' button under the steering column, it has this feature as it is a cut-out button. The problem is that this might just be heresay unless anyone can prove otherwise .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 reverse dipping mirrors I thought was a Jap option and not standard fit. Do you know for sure, yours has this option, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I wouldn't have thought that you'd get much help from Nissan UK as I was under the impression that they hated imports with a passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I was under the impression the reverse tilt mirrors were standard - still not working after fuse pulls - one other thing as regards revering lights - I have one lit should both sides work then ? as that may be linked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
