Nissan Primera P12 Screen Console Sat Nav Probs

My how-to on taking out the centre console trim to get to the connectors is here:

It really does sound like a bad connection to me as both the audio unit and the keypad feed information to the display unit. It's a bus system so if any of them were misbehaving it can cause odd behaviour. The connectors for the audio unit can be got at without removing the gearstick trim but you won't be able to see what you're doing.

Hi Ralprim.

Ok here is where I think the problem is. This is what the underside of your keypad should look like if the connectors aren't plugged in:



The one I think that has a problem is the white one towards the bottom. And looking at that I've just reminded myself the demister does not have a separate connection but does have separate pins and doesnt share the same bus system as the rest.

To get to this you need to take off the gear stick surround, remove the 2 side trim plastic panels on the side of the foot wells. Then its about 8 screws (you need to move the handbrake surround too) to get the gearstick trim out of the way. From there its 2 more screws down the bottom sides of the centre trim, then a decent tug on the trim and it should unclip. Careful tho as the wires might still be attached and they aren't that long. Then you should be able to see something like that picture and can verify it yourself.

Not sure if that's cleared things up or made it more confusing. I have a couple more pics but don't wanna keep posting them on here as they are a bit mahoosive and don't really add much.

Hi Renrut.

Thank you for the info and photo it was very helpful.

I have taken off the console and the plugs were in correctly and I removed them and sprayed with electrical contact cleaner and replaced the plugs but still have the same problem.I have`nt put panels back on yet.

Before I removed the console I drove about 5 miles an whilst driving everything came on and stayed on until I got home .I switched the engine off and then on again then nothing works except for the demister.

Do I need to put console back on to test it. ie earth ?
