Center Console, Steering Wheel, & Ambient Light Out

DeliriousClam · 04-05-2021, 03:31 PM

So a few years back I tried to change the surface mount LED in the "S-mode" button. After that, I lost the lights on my steering wheel, center console, and the little ambient light by the map lights went out. Couldn't figure out why so, for the hell of it, I swapped the cluster as a test. After swapping the cluster, those lights started functioning again.

Which cluster did you swap? I might try that if the BCM doesn't work. I have to get the Nissan guys to do the BCM because it has to be programmed. It is getting done this coming Friday.

The Nissan dealer confirmed it was my BCM. They also confirmed the one I got was for a manual and I own an automatic. Whoops.

Finally got the BCM installed. Everything is right with my car now. I can not recommend not messing that thing up enough.
