It's happened to me for the 3rd time including today. I turn the car on and the cluster lights don't come on, climate controls non responsive and the radio is off. Sometimes I get it for 5 seconds then it comes on all at once, sometimes it goes on then goes off. I checked the fuses and they all seem fine, so not sure of whats going on here.

 

weeeeiiiirrrd

 

How many miles and what year? The airbags are covered under the powertrain warranty and I think you could argue that since there is no power going to the cluster it is unlikely that the airbag will function properly and therefore this should be fixed under warranty.

 

Its a 03.5 with 42k miles on it

 

Your basic warranty is gone and that would have covered it for sure, obviously. I think you have a good argument that the airbag might not work and therefore the no power to the column should be covered under the powertrain warranty which, if I am not mistaken, you still have. I have limited knowledge of the wiring and might be completely wrong but I think it is at least worth a phone call to Infiniti and a trip to the dealer.
