I was changing the light bulb on the passenger door when I accidentally shorted out the contacts with my screwdriver and now the passenger courtesy light doesnt come on only the driver side comes on. I checked the fuse but unfortunately it didnt blow out I even put in another one just to make sure and the passenger courtesy light still doesnt come on. Can anybody help me find some wiring diagrams for the passenger door courtesy light so I can try to find the open in the circuit?

 

You want to look at page 279 in the EL section fo the FSM. Don't have one? Download it from here:

Nissan calls the courtesy lights STEP LAMPS and the power window switch is called DRIVER DOOR CONTROL UNIT.

However, you don't have a wiring problem. You probably blew out the power window switch.

 

i have the same problem ,my window stwitch still works ? and mine is the drivers side same problem please let me know what you come up with?

 

might have to replace the window switch assembly. Should be easy to find at the junkyard.

 

D, I've got an extra window switch already done in blue LEDs for you.

 

the window switch does control the step lamps ive had to replace mine twice
