How much is this item and cost of labor to fix ?

Okay house, i am sorry this update is coming late . . work and all but i feel it is proper i inform you that the issue has been fixed.
I had approached 2 sound engineers on this forum; kudos.
But at that point, I was invited by the Honorable Costee for a private chat. We went through the issue together on whatsapp.
And it pointed towards the BCM. He invited me over to his domain; led me to his dealer and after what seemed like hours of searching,
we finally found a replacement, exact part number. Took it home; managed to install it, not without some bruises though, and car came back to life, except that it would crank but not start. One or two calls were made, and a key programmer came within the hour and car was back to life.
I owe this fix to Costee; a very fine and accommodating gentleman.
And to AUtoElectNG, you are amazing. We still have a lot to work on sometime soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

Costee:
To be absolutely sure, could you post the VIN, or send it to the number in my signature.

Sending via text.

Thanks

Costee:
If it's a prox twist knob here's the way I see it. The BCM is damaged. Install another BCM, and programme the key starting with steering lock release, a process that begins with engine off.

I definitely can't handle this on my own; can you come in, sir?

Yes, it's a prox twist knob. I had to google that and saw what you meant

mayor2013:
Does your's uses a smart key?

Yes it uses an intelli-key where i can start the engine with the fob in my pocket;

However battery died, couldn't get original battery as the ones i got kept dying quickly so i switched to the manual [mechanical] key

AutoElectNG:
My services are available

I am expensive....but you will get your vehicle fixed once and fixed right!

Thanks.

Your profile says Abuja . . . I am in Lagos

mayor2013:
You are very correct. Bcm most likely culprit. He needs to run a scan first

I have this small scanner we connected to the OBD port or what is it called?

The scanner comes alive and says "waiting for vehicle to respond" .

well vehicle cannot respond because ignition will not turn on.

mayor2013:
Does this ride start

Ride was perfect until the short circuit

No, when you insert the key into ignition

it doesnt even turn [as in it doesnt rotate, like it is stiff]

half of car is dead, half is alive as explained above

hello house,

pls i am in search of a very competent electrician (rewire; as they are fondly called) to fix my infiniti fx35 2005 version.

the last one was working on a stuck window regulator driver side and ended up short circuiting a wiring system in the door;

next thing vehicle went dead. condition of vehicle now:

horn works
passenger automatic seat works
headlamps works
brake lamps works
hazard works

driver automatic seat dead
key dead . . insert key into ignition, there is no chime . . also key doesn't even turn
and the steering isn't locked. key refuses to turn. intelligent key system dead too (from dead battery on key fob though)
so i am stuck with mechanical key.
all interior lights dead

really need to fix this baby as it's my daily commute.

location: Ajah

or is there a step by step guide on what i can do to revive it . . .

we checked most of the fuses and relays and they were fine; so need an experienced hand; not trial and error method.

thanks
