[QUOTE=photoguy007;4028264]My S mode wasn't working when I got my car as well. I also noticed a few people saying there's no "click" to the button. Mine did not have any click to it either. That said, I ended up unscrewing the shift boot bezel which released the switch and I noticed I could get a clicking actuation out of the switch, indicating that my button was not getting enough travel and was always being pressed. I added a washer to the screw nearest the button which keeps the shifter bezel and the ring together. This ensured the additional button travel and actuation which has my S mode working even today.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I see OP bought a new switch so my thoughts may be null :/ hope the dealer figures it out.

[QUOTE=Iammeowwwwww;4028270]That's extremely interesting, I noticed I wasn't getting a click when installed, but would click uninstalled.

I'm just going to pick up my Z, they can't figure out the issue, I'm sure it's sitting on the sidelines anyhow.

The dealer couldn’t fix, they say it’s the switch, the switch is brand new. Plus now my hvac goes from cold to blistering hot in one click. So upon reassembly, they didn’t plug something back in. Now I have to drive all the way back again. Plus my shift knob wasn’t screwed on, and the leather is damaged, and my CD is gone from my head unit.

At this point I’m angry, very sloppy service! WTF!

This is why many despise the dealers!!

[QUOTE=photoguy007;4028279]Sorry to hear about your recent luck mate, that sucks! I've worked at quite a few dealerships in my younger millennial years (lol!) as a detailer and I've seen quite a lot of shadiness. I'm thankful that today im mechanically inclined enough to do 95% off the work on my own. Now I'm just lazy sometimes lol.

Have you tried activating S mode with the switch detached from the shift bezel? I'm curious if my solution would work for you. If it works, I'm happy to pull out the bezel and snap a few pics of my washer spacer mod.

That would be truly amazing if it turns out to be a washer.

Unfortunately it wasn’t. I removed the switch from the console, and activated it unmounted, clicked fine, still no go.

Such a mystery!

Thanks

Well, dealer says it’s the cluster. It’s a Canadian vehicle. Was the cluster damaged upon the conversion from KM to Miles somehow?

Of course, Nissan won’t cover it, or even supply the U.S. dealer with the Canadian part number. They won’t allow a U.S. or Canadian cluster to be installed, WTF!

The dealer isn’t recommending I install a U.S. cluster, they believe it will be an electrical issue. Does anyone have insight regarding this?

Honestly, I’m not sure I agree with the assessment, have no idea though, I do like this service department. I’m only out $160 for diagnosis, if I’m going with a new cluster, it’s an easy diy, but would need the correct miles programmed.

I just want Rev matching working, probably won’t use very much, but want my car functioning properly.

Thanks for help!

Update

Don’t believe the cluster in my Z is the original one. It appears to be a U.S. cluster, believe it was swapped in. MPH are in large white numbers, not KM/H. Plus, there’s an old inventory sticker attached to it, probably from a recycled yard. My car is only 3 years old, shouldn’t have an old faded sticker anywhere. There’s no signs of this being any sort of salvaged car, body and interior are flawless, no signs of bodywork. Only feature not working is the Rev Matching. I’ve already road tripped it, drives perfectly! They probably swapped with U.S. cluster after taking in inventory.

So maybe it’s the cluster after all?
