Symptoms: when to inspect this connection
Nissan’s 22V-024 description lists an inoperative driver’s power window or power-seat adjustment, an AWD indication, battery drain, a burning smell and smoke below the driver’s dash. Connector heat damage is possible. One symptom does not determine the cause, but electrical complaints combined with moisture in this area give a specific inspection direction.

Nissan describes salt-containing water in the driver’s footwell wicking along harness tape to the connector. Corrosion allows unwanted current between terminals. The problem can therefore affect a particular electrical connection without the vehicle having been fully submerged.
