Security light not lit....so i guess will be the dealer the only ones who can fix it?

Before you take it to the dealer I would check each fuse in the under hood box.

I don't mean look at them either.

Use a DVM and measure them.

I assume you disconnected your NOX wiring.

I have checked and double checked every fuse and relay under the hood and rear seat with a multimeter.

According to the book, if you get 12 volts at the keyswitch, you should be able to turn it to the on/accessory position and see 12 volts at the brown wire, unless you burnt up the switch or another reason.

I would like to know if the 12 you are seeing on the switch input goes away when you turn the key to on/accessory.

That might indicate a short in a dim or rim module.

I hope your repair isn't expensive.

Its going to the dealer today...i will let you know what ended up being the problem.

OK......soooooooo.......A ******* FUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dumbass thought that i could just check for continuity on all fuses, which all checked out fine. But no, damn fuse on the rear passanger side was bad, replaced, and now the V is alive again.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCUSE MY DAMN STUPIDITY....lesson learned.
thank you...come again.

I pulled every fuse after i checked continuity to visually check it, but it didnt see as it if had burned.

How did you check all the fuses? I'm just curious how it showed good but was actually bad. I normally use a test light and check both sides of the fuse.

pipe7284

I was checking for continuity, not voltage on each side of the fuse. I learned my lesson. Now i know to check for voltage on each side every time im checking fuses, not just continuity.

Wait, so when you say continuity.......are you saying one probe per side of the fuse? If that is the case a test light works best to simply check power going across. But either way if you were checking continuity across the fuse the bad fuse should have shown up. Resistance would spike=the bad fuse.

I have seen fuses look visibly fine, but have no continuity and are bad. Never the other way around haha

can you be specific to what fuse it was? i am having a similar issue. was intermittent at first and today i went to start the car and let it run as its not a DD and i get no luck. not even wanting to turn over. i wiggled the relays under the hood but didnt have time to start replacing **** yet.

Call the dealer and let them figure it out

They mentioned it was one of the rear passanger side fuse box, under the rear seat.
