Nissan Rogue 2014–2016: connector corrosion, power window and battery drain

What to inspect at M74/B42 below the driver’s dash, when the connectors need replacement and why drying carpet is not a wiring repair.

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.

Applicability and the full analysis

How water reaches the contacts

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.
