First thing I'd do is disable the SLU (pull the SLU fuse or install a harness or cut the brown wire) - even if that is not what is causing the light, it needs to be done. There are several very good DIYs on this site for each method; choose whichever works best for you. Just make sure the car is in ACC or ON and the lock is fully retracted (making the switches) when you disable the SLU.

If you still get the light, try changing the fob battery.
So I took my car into Nissan and they hooked me up on the part even though it was not currently failing. Luckily I was still under warranty so the $800 part/install was free. I should be expecting the scheduling call in the next couple days. Glad I took the time to go over there and talk to them about it.
