WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Xterra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to "WIRING DIAGRAM ".

CHECK INPUT 1 - 5 SYSTEM CIRCUIT FOR OPEN

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect BCM and combination switch.

Check continuity between BCM harness connector and combination switch harness connector.

CONTINUITY REFERENCE CHART

System	BCM		Combination switch		Continuity
