Angry Help with taillights and interior lighting!

I got in my car and none of the lights for the radio, navi, A/C or seat heater switchs where working and my tailights! I checked fuse inside kick panel and under the hood but all where good and check the Dimmer switch next to the VDC its not getting any power!! ANY HELP?

The interior lights and tailights are working as if the headlights are on the off position even if they are on!

Tyson


The radio works fine it acts like its in daytime mode all the time!!! here are a few quick pics!

check your ipdm behind the battery...those black square plugs control things and it could have gone bad, bad news you have to replace the whole thing nissan/infiniti does not sell the modules alone...good news if you have warranty you are fine, if not maybe you were friendly to your service tech and he has a few sitting around...
