I would carefully recheck every fuse with a meter to ensure they are not bad even if they look good. you need to get your hands on a electrical wiring diagram to see what all of those items have in common, it could ignition switch, relay, wire or connector. In the meantime I'll look at my FSM to see if I can find any commonality. I'm betting on a fuse or relay (gut feel)!
Be well!!!!

This happened to my little brother. Have you tried leaving the battery disconnected for awhile and then reconnecting it? It worked for my brother and he had no blown fuses either. I think the ECU has some sort of circuit protection when it comes to power surges.

found blown battery fuse

I found my battery fuse FL140A blown. But I can not remove it. How can I remove it? Where Can I buy it?

Try some pliers. You can get a fuse at an auto parts store.

I did the exact same thing on my VG auto. To fix it I had to:

- beat my head against a brick wall
- replace the alternator
- replace the battery
- replace a fusible link
- beat my head against a brick wall

Good luck, I feel your pain!

I just looked at my car, you should be able to pull the fuse out.
However I believe you'll have to get it from a Nissan dealer or an Infiniti dealer. I have never seen any fuses like that at parts stores. The service departments here are open on Saturdays till noon.
If its only a fuse you got lucky!
Be well!!!!

The problem is fixed

Thanks everyone for your help. The problem is fixed but I am not sure If I did the right thing. I was pulling the fuse out whe the top part came apart. It connect the two metal strips by pullign them together. Now the one shid has the thin connector to be blown in the case of over current flow. The car is running fine after that. Just like before.

Thanks
