G35 Door, Window, Headlight Sensors not working
G35 Door, Window, Headlight Sensors not working
My 2004 G35 Coupe has no ability to detect if the doors are opened or closed or if the cars lights need to be turned off...
For some backstory; when I sold my house down in Miami in 2022; I sent my G35 to be painted Yellow for my wife. She had been driving it mostly for the last years and has fallen in love with the car.
I spoke to my friends in the auto body industry and gave one of their shops the car to paint it to original 350Z Yellow. Car came out beautiful, but since receiving it back it hasn't been driven in years due to multiple electrical issues.
Firstly they managed to burn out the starter, brakes were worn to the max... so starter & brakes replaced.... the suspension was also pretty beat up from my wifes hospital garage's mismatched floor panels... replaced that.
Brake master cylinder died.... replaced that.
AC doesn't seem to hold a charge now (not sure what happened there, but I have refilled it and not sure how long it lasts before it needs filling now.
The issues with the doors and windows has been the biggest problem now though... the car doesn't know when you open the door or close it (so the window drop and lift doesn't work) and the interior lights don't come on or go off.... also the automatic lights will seemingly turn on when its dark... but will NEVER turn off unless you go shut them off.
I have checked through tons of fuses and it doesn't seem to be the issue... any other ideas?

Update is that; I fixed the door sensors. Not sure about the light sensor... have to figure out where that one is. Door sensors were all installed and NOT PLUGGED IN.
This is why all fuses and everything were fine and no codes... just no sensors plugged in at all..
