I need your guy's help. This is going to be a 3 part series. I've replaced the IPDM thinking that is what was blowing the ECU fuse, that was a $700 mistake because that wasn't it. I checked everywhere for a short and came to the conclusion my ECU itself went bad because when it blew the ECU fuse the 2nd time, I smelled burnt electronics. After blowing the fuse the 2nd time, the red security light is solid, the fans stay on and now the car will not start. I figured it was my ECU that actually went bad, so I pulled it out and sent it to my tuner to bench test it. He was able to communicate with my ECU so my ECU is good, but the burnt electronic smell was in the glove box area. I'm running out of idea's on how to fix this and no shop wants to touch it, being it's an electrical issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
If this happened to me. I would try to figure out which pin wire on the ecu harness is connected to that ecu fuse. I don't have sources for the wiring diagrams. Hope this helps get to the bottom of it
I looked at the FSM for EC. It's pin 121 a red wire with a white strip on it. I guess I need to get a multimeter and start testing continuity on each pin. I did talk to an electric shop last night here in Encinitas, California. He is booked till October fixing van lifers van's with electrical issues, sick 70's VW vans. But he told me if I smelled burned electronics, then go to where the smell is. I go but I didn't see any smoke, just smelled it. He goes you won't see smoke because it's in a sealed unit, just like my ECU. Some board the like the PCM or BCM went is my guess as he said if you smelled burned electronics stop searching wires and go to where the smell is the strongest.
I watched part 2 which prompted me to watch this. I am having intermittent power loss issues. Thank you for highlighting this problem. You are the man and I appreciate you!
When the ecu is not seen and you everything else works it is normal to have the fans turn on high and crank no start. Nice simple fix. New to the channel. And yes pretty much ppl are not willing to help. Everyone is too busy with their own lives. As if they were actually grinding. Ive had similar situations and nobody is willing to help. Lock up my engine and had to push my car upa driveway to a gas station by myself. Asked if I could leave it there for the night and they say they would have it towed in the morning! Had to push it into the street.
@@MotordyneG35 okay I’ll send the pics and videos THANK YOU !! Btw I put so much money into this car I’ll send you the notes of everything I spent 🤦🏾😂 just picked up a 2019 Ram limited 41k well spent
The same thing happened to my 04 g35. The battery tray gets water in it like a bowl after it rains. The bottom of the ipdm isn't sealed properly and I had to change out the fuse that powered the ecu. Simple fix is, drill 2 holes on opposite ends of the batter tray corners to let the water drain out. My car was down for 2 weeks trying to figure that problem out. The fuse is at the very bottom of the ipdm right above the battery tray so it's common for water build up to splash up on to it after a heavy or prolonged rain.
Oh wow. Ecu fuse. Hopefully dont have to deal with it but good to know where to search. Both my Lincolns i luved but they both gave me electrical issues. I guess you have a well cared for one. #keeper
Glad to see you still have the car bro! I saw it up for sale on the Facebook market place a while back. I had this issue in my 05 g35 coupe.. except my problem was the ipdm , some of the connections had burn marks on them so I replaced the ipdm.. eventually the problem came back and I realized that I didn’t clean the connectors on the harness.. cleaned them up and now it’s been driving fine
All of my fuses on my IPDM were black, like they had been burnt, even though the fuses were not broken wires. I also replaced the IPDM thinking that was my problem but I never cleaned the connectors. How did you you clean them? Duster?
@@MotordyneG35 there’s a spray that they sell at oreilly/autozone that’s designed for cleaning connectors.. find a thin pipe cleaner / tube brush set and clean them up with that.
@@josebolanos1148 ...yep just got done youtubing myself, I saw that video. Ok if that fixes it, I would be like no way! When I pulled my ECU out, there is a large bar you pull down to unsnap it. A huge chunk of dust with hair came out, I was like how in the world did that get there? Cleaning all my electronic terminal connectors including the IPDM's. Thanks man!
@@josebolanos1148 ...thinking about pulling the terminals out of the IPDM. I had one that would just not come out, I had such a difficult time pulling it out. The others all pulled out easily, I bet that was the one that has the issue in it. Man if that's it, you are my hero!
@@MotordyneG35 yeah I went threw all the wiring on my g bro .. checked everywhere with a multimeter, tried different ECUs until eventually I remember that I forgot to clean the connectors on the harness and that’s what did it for me .
and that ended up being the issue, I couldn't believe it. Usually you get a P0300 code for misfire but these are aftermarket coilpacks. They did this before but randomly dying with no code at all at 3 years old. Since they have a lifetime warranty, I just replaced them all for free. 4 years later the same scenario but a blown ecru fuse and no codes. Cylinder 2 the coilpack was melted so bad.
You know what baffles me the most about this man’s G35 RevUp engine….how it has some 190+k miles and doesn’t smoke one puff of oil. WTF right there….and drives it HARD. 😲 My RevUp engine progressively burned/smoked more oil ever since I got it at ~99,000miles on it when it finally let go at 225,000miles. Did Tyler have a rebuilt/recalled RevUp from Nissan or is this all original from factory of 2005?! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Bro your ecu is not getting power. My 04 had this same exact issue. Red security light was on and the fans but no start. I had uprev also. My mechanic wired power manually to the ecu and never had a problem ever since.
What I would do first is inspect/clean all ECU rated connections with Deoxit 5. Then if it still blows the fuses then a schematic wiring diagram is needed. Use a circuit breaker type fuse adapter in place of the fuse. Try to disconnect as much as possible with power and grounds to the ecm. If it doesn't pop the circuit breaker, then there's something shorted in one of the associated circuits. The hard part is issolating the problem. Some cables can feed several sensors. Disconnect the sensors. Does it still pop the circuit breaker? No, one of the sensors is shorted. Connect one at time until problem appears. Replace sensor. Retest. Yes, disconnect Battery, perform resistance measurement between the High and ground. The shorted cable/connector should show low resistance
I'm having issues where after a flood that caused my battery and car seat to short. Now the mirrors and horn won't work and my car keeps shutting off after a rain or carwash
I have a question. My 2003 g35 coupe auto, when I turn left it cuts off while giving it gas but wont do that when turning right. Also no codes are being thrown.
Tyler - you gotta do a video on the new Motordyne exhaust (I have it); but it doesn’t sound exactly like yours….slightly different. Then again, I now have a rebuilt VQ35DE RevUp engine with forged 11:1 c/p ratio pistons. But still, my Motordyne sounds higher pitched and smooth.
Hmm. I know it's pretty hot lately. Sounds like you could have a harness issue. I wouldn't be surprised if wires got chaffed.. I would pull the harness from below the cowl and inspect the ecu to the ipdm harnesses that are near the fuse box. Chances are the smell could be from inside the firewall above the ecu. Just take a look at your harness
@@MotordyneG35 aww man. With all those symptoms with the smell and communication to the ecu is caused by one coil pack? And caused a blown fuse? I don't get it. That's very unusual 🤔
I had a similar issue never found out what it was but car started to run again after a couple hundred dollars lol like 500 ..my car died on me pulled it home not towed lol 1 mile away from home . Car would crank no start , fans would turn on also . Changed 3 cam senors 2 on engine and one underneath car . Wouldn't start . Xhanged coolant sensor cuz fans stayed on but didn't work ., security like would stay on and my fuse was blown to it #10 blue and i thought it was the fuse box so went to junkyard n replaced mine with that didn't work. Chnaged maf didn't work . Then i got a new fuel pump 🤣 .beofre i put it in i reset the computer disconnected the ecu put in the mew fuel pump .then it started and died ..so next day i kept trying to turn it on n it finally stayed running.
I have actually been questioned by Highway Patrol why I have stopped and helped people!!! Um cuz I believe we are all brother and sisters from a higher being, sent here to be tested on this exact thing, we will help!! Other than that I am no help I watch your videos to get help.
Are you serious? I hope it's that easy of a fix. I've gone through the entire wiring harness looking for a place that makes contact with the body and rubbed a spot exposing a wire to hit the frame shorting it out. I have not inspected the coils, thank you!
@@MotordyneG35 this might not fix it but it can help and I did it for both my 350z and G35, the G was melting coil packs, I installed 2 Ground Straps on each car, it fixed the G35's coil pack melting issue, supposedly it can help with fuses going out, sensors burning out and what not but who knows, just thought I'd tell you this also thank you for the videos you post, apart from them being entertaining you've also helped me out a lot with my cars so I thank you for that the video I got it from: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DXDYQEFUMd4.html
@@MotordyneG35 you might not see any visible issues on the coil packs. I had one that would consistently pop the fuse so I was able to hook them up one by one until it tripped the fuse I ended up throwing a new set of z1 coils in mine. R35 GTR coils from czp are a good option also. But not necessary to go those routes, I went that way because I have the vortech v3
@@nazc0 Most people say a rat nibbled on a wire for letting it sit so long, but after tracing the pin 121 the power supply to the ECU. I can not find a short in the red and white wire anywhere. Pulled out my double din LCD screen searching everywhere. Even checking the power supply to my radar detector if it came disconnected and shorted the power supply to the ECU. I'm going to try replacing unplugging all my coil packs and see if I can communicate with my ECU. After reviewing my older videos those import direct coils did only last 3 years and last time I had issues with the car randomly dying with no codes. Replaced the coilpacks and now 4 years later, this is where I am. Instead of randomly dying, I am hoping they are the reason for the blown ECU fuse. A couple of commenters said this also happened to them and after some google searches, it has happened to other platforms. Bad coil pack blowing ECU fuse. If its that after all of this, I will won't believe it.
4 weeks later I'm taking your advice, hahaha. If that isn't it, I am throwing in the towel and taking it to a shop. The problem is because I have a modified ECU no shop will touch it. I found some Mexican shop in San Diego that will though.
had the same code due to parasitic battery drain because of a short i have in the audio finisher. Removed every fuse associated with the radio and a/c unit then recharged the battery bc it was dead. went away and never came back
High thought 🙄 what if having the battery disconnected so long, reset the nat's tune/settings of some sort..then when you drove it back, some how the tune was right, but confusion of the ecu triggered that response....I mean, coil packs dont go bad in storage...imo🤷🏾♂️ I would think it had something to do with tuning/ nat's delete...but again I'm red eyed, lmao! Keep'em coming!!!
The tune has nothing to do with it. Letting it sit overtime has no effect, on resetting the tune.

@@kingbey8405 ...It was a bad coil pack. Coil pack on cylinder 2 was the burnt electronics I smelled because after removing my intake, it looked like the coil took a poop and then it's head was a big blister that popped. Picking up all-new coils today, I can't believe it was a coil pack after all the research and wire fishing to find a short in my wiring harness. I still can't believe it, the P1065 code is what threw me off thinking it couldn't be a coil.
Having this problem woth 04 pathfinder had the battery disconnect for just about a year didn't have this code before p1065 now all the sudden I have it don't know why
Maybe some one could help, my 2003 g35 runs and drives but the acceleration is not good at all won't won't do a burn out and takes forever to get to 35 but after that it's good , does burn out in reverse though lol and it's a new trans mission so it's not that
I have a 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5s that is throwing the code p1065 car starts up but has a hard time sometimes and still runs just got the code yesterday Any idea what to fix don’t want the problem to get worse plz lmk been trying to find out!
I’ve recently came by a video of yours with 2017 Lincoln MKZ hybrid (changing oil) no relation to it… I have 2013 Lincoln MKZ ecoboost 2.0, I recently bought it which has 46k miles. I have one issue tho which whenver I listen to music, it makes this faint high pitch noise. But, when I mute it, it somehow disappears. Sometimes whenver I speed up, it becomes slightly louder. Do you happen to know what issue I’m experiencing? There are also times that I don’t hear it.
Where r u in dago? I’d come help you. Don’t know much but I could give u rides to get what u need if u need to. :) I’m a great San diegan with a g35 :)
It ended up being a bad coil pack was all this headache. Yeah, Facebook marketplace that got a lot of people upset. Making a video on it actually, the point of view from the seller. Lots of time-wasting tire kickers and unreasonable offers. It's not ever worth selling because of how much I have into it.
