the white box in this pic



I AM SO HAPPY AND HOPE THIS WILL HELP ALL WHO HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM!

 

What did you exactly buy and replace?

 

What is the name of the component?

 

I think I read in another thread...SECU, which stands for Security?

 

The white box is called a Smart Entrance Control module guarantee fixx

 

Its crazy... I had the complete opposite day from you. I woke up, went to a junk yard and bought an used SEMC, plugged it in and nothing... Boo... Ill check it out tomorrow.

 

try again!!!

 

Just realized now- my fuel door works with just a touch, But now my driver side light don't work

 

SAD news had to put the old secu back in because no power to driver side head light (driver side fogs work-parking lights work) I am back to Sq 1.


ANY SUGGESTIONS PLZ

 

any news(update)

 

So after plugging the old box back in, your driver's side headlight works again?

And were you using Auto or forcing them on (based on switch position)?

 

The driver side comes on like before only when car is on and not on auto(w/old box)

w/ new box every thing work lights come on with car off lights work with auto except driver sid

 

Bought another one and now both lights turn on cost me 50 bucks but was well worth it. The other one i bought that worked except driver headlight is for sale please pm me also anyone that want to buy original one pm me THANKS FOR ALL THE ORG HELP!!!!!

 

SECU = Smart Entrance Control Unit

 

Hey, i know no one has posted to this thread for a few years. I just bought a 2k Maxima with 44k miles a few months back. I just got the same exact problem, (power locks, rear defroster, interior lights don't work). I checked all my fuses (left of steering wheel and under the hood), only found 1 blown 5A fuse, which I replaced. Still had the problem. Went to a junkyard and grabbed a SECU, plugged it in and still had the problem. Did anyone ever find another solution besides the replacing the SECU? I'm a college student and really don't want to pay a Nissan dealer or an autoshop to diagnose and fix.

Thanks!

 

The way I read it, replacing the SECU solved his problem. The only complication was that the first used SECU also had a problem.

 

this is your only fix get another 1 thats what i did first one worked except 1 light and the second one worked perfect still do
