Yeah, I keep thinking that if I go to the dealer and just have them reprogram the ecu it might just go back to normal. Just a thought, what do you think?

That only works if the flash was the cause, not putting the paperclip in the harness. I'd start by talking to Uprev and explaining the entire situation.

The indicator was blinking before I got that other situation fixed, even before I tried connecting the switch with the paperclip. Can't say the same for srm though, ill see what uprev says.

Honestly, don't touch anything! You are going to screw yourself bad if you mess with anything. That means that if it was tampered with Nissan is going to turn you away.

Leave it as is, bring it in. If they turn you away or want you to pay for the work, then troubleshoot it yourself.

Last thing is for you to mess something up, then bring it in....then after that we see a thread by you saying how shotty your dealer was. Troubleshooting it yourself should be the last resort if you are within warranty.

I think most of us thought it was a two month old 2013 car.

Well the information was there.

I don't see where there was ever a resolution to this issue. First off, it is very unlikely that anything got "fried". I had the same problem when I flashed the ECU with an incorrect ROM based on the wrong ECU part number given to me by my local dealer. The steps to fix this problem are simple, see pages EC24 - 25 of the FSM. Takes less than 1 minute. Or take it to the dealer and have them fix it with their Consult III. It's a procedure done anytime the sensor is replaced, the ECU is replaced, or the indicator is flashing "N". FYI my dealer had no clue how to fix this until I told him. The info came from UpRev. SRev and indicator will work as before.
