- In today's video we take a look at a 2008 Infiniti FX35 that will not power up when the push button ignition is pressed. We quickly discover that the vehicle has a faulty steering lock unit module, but the shop has already replaced the BCM or body control module by recommendation of a locksmith. Find out what happens when you take advice from a locksmith that isn't trained in diagnostics.

Brilliant as always. When Scotty Kilmer says "Find a good mechanic with a dealer level scan tool", he is referring to someone like this guy!
@@serge4856 It's not just buying the scan tool. Knowing what to look for and using the tool to troubleshoot it lot easier said than done.
I agreed.
Being able to diagnose vehicles now takes education ,patience high tech tools and common sense . And finding a guy who is not out to rack up repairs out of dishonesty is important .
I maintained my family's vehicles .but occasionally my daughter brought my wife's car she used to a honest guy like this one . I didn't mind .he didn't rip her off .has reasonable fees . Then he died from cancer 😕
Eric is a brilliant troubleshooter, I would love fo work alongside him.
Scotty also says buy a Toyota/Lexus.
As a locksmith, I agree completely. 99 % of locksmiths have no business diagnosing vehicle problems. Unfortunately, many vehicle owners will call me and beg me to come out even after I tell them I can program keys, not fix their car or truck. My programmers have amazing key programming software but no testing software. I especially get irritated when a "mechanic" diagnoses the car or truck over the phone and tells the vehicle owner to call a locksmith, the customer feels especially desperate then.
It's awesome to hear from your perspective! Thanks for the info! Btw I meant no offense by the thumbnail. Just playing around with some clickbait.
No offense taken, it's good advice. I have been subscribed for a long time and enjoy watching a deliberate diagnosing process. Thank you for the excellent content.
I’m a Lockmith and I’m a bit offended lol just a bit. In this case the mechanic should not take the locksmith advice for a new bcm, since he is a locksmith and only programs keys and fixes locks.
The mechanic needs to call you the electrician/diagnostician before paying for $$$$ for an electrical component that can’t be returned.
Your videos are super valuable and Mechanics need to invest in these diagnostic tool before changing parts that are non refundable
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTOo buddy. This was no clickbait thing. The end of your video tells and insist of what your thumbnail is. You basically said the truth. It is no locksmith jobs to diagnose people cars. Matter of fact, locksmiths do not like to deal eith issues that should be diagnosed first.
On one end of the spectrum, there are incompetent mechanics who make customers pay for parts they throw at the vehicle then at last tell the customers "you must have a key issue, call the locksmith" in just the same way as you mentioned locksmiths telling customers they might need a BCM.
On the mid end of the spectrum, you had cheap customers who buy and drive cars they cannot afford and want to take shortcuts and call a locksmith and usually start their request with "my keys needs repeogrammed" because it is easier and cheaper to have a locksmith come to them than getting their car towed to the dealer. Most of the time they dont even have $11 monthly roadside assistance memberships for the fanxy cars they love to show up in.
Bottom line is, if everyone was staying in their lines and doing what they were supposed to do, they would be less to know problems.
Lastly so yes, Locksmiths are supposed to travel to the site, fix the lock or program the car, grab the money and go although more and more locksmith are getting interested into diagnosing which is not a requirement of their job but a valuable additional skill to limit. If it comes down to that, Locksnith should charge for diagnostic and charge again for the key programming.

Hey man I really need assistance I just ordered a car from Japan it's not even a month yet and the car can't be started. No crank no power. Unless I put the key in the FOB then there is power.
These newer vehicles are way too complicated, great video, keep up the great work, we all need a guy like you!!!
Awe... your daughter is soo precious! Thank you Eric for another awesome video!!
This situation is why I keep diagnostics separate from key programming always double check or triple check not just replace parts if not sure. Great information man thank you. Keep up the good work. Take care.
You saved my live , g was stuck on the side walk for a day. I smacked that wheel lock box like a pianta and it worked
Thanks for sharing Eric👍
You shared a life lesson for many tech's, that will save them from this type of situation👍
Stay Safe👍
Man your electrical diagnostic is amazing.
I have a small shop and do Mobile work as well but I will tell you this I will not buy any part for a vehicle that I am not 100% sure will fix the problem. Some customers can become extremely irate when dealing with that kind of money. Thank you again for a great diagnostic video.
Nice work Eric. Watch all your vids and appreciate all the learning u provide.
When ever you're asked to come behind another person's diagnose or part replacement, I learned early on to find out what was the original problem, then diagnose the problem. Don't accept the previous work that was done as being the correct procedure!
Remember......you were called in because one or more "attempted" to repair the problem and may have used the "parts cannon" and caused more problems!
Eric is correct in how he approached the problem! And notice, HE FIXED IT!
Well said, make your own diagnosis.
Best part of this video was seeing your daughter hanging out with her Dad. What a cutie. Stay safe, God Bless.
Great Video! The 1 dislike is the owner of the Infinity!
The owner or the shop that wanted to sell a new BCM 😆
The second dislike is the cussing mom 😂😂
@@elbenjas1994 I think I too would be cussing if I had to fork over 4000.00
I have same problem and I fix it , The solution is easy just press the button make in (on ) and make the gear in N position then press the break to start engine its well work 👍
Good luck
Another day another great video. Thank you for your time to create this content. Keep it up
Glad you enjoy it!
you are great in this auto field ; I like your way to find where is the problem exactly ... thank you very much for free education . best luck in your future
Absolutely great diagnostic video. Thank you posting.👌👍🏼😎👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences , thumbs up to you. The locksmith used a process of elimination but unfortunately the shop went down the wrong rabbit hole. Hopefully the customer understands the thought process.
Great video and you're daughter is one little sweetie, the tiger waving was priceless, two thumbs up!
I almost spit out my drink at the end of the video with your daughter in the back seat with the tiger doll LOL. Good work bro
Thank you for sharing that video with us. Have not seen one of these problems yet, but you never know. Thank you and God bless

Great video thanks for your knowledge and your time Eric really appreciate it. I do run into a lot of issues with these Nissan's and infinity's this will be a great tip to have them diagnosed properly thanks man.
Really precious back seat driver!
Great diagnostic video.
great video ADVANCED AUTO thanks for sharing.
As both a Locksmith AND a 25 year master auto technician, I believe there are more shops that are incompetent than Locksmiths. At least here, consumers are protected from issues from "Licensed" locksmiths through consumer affairs with bonds and mandatory liability insurance. The problem arises when customers are cheap and try to save money and use cheap entities. Seen plenty of steering lock issues. I'd bet the only difference in the parts is the Logo.
As a locksmith myself, I tend to diag issues that mechanics can't even figure out.
@freshprintz3356 I was a Master auto tech over 20 years and I was so green in regard to Locksmith work it was sad. Good auto techs are not locksmiths and good locksmiths aren't auto techs, in most cases.
I really do feel for the shop owner... Sometimes it gets overwhelming that you just trust that other contractors know what they are doing... This is really a lesson. Eric, you didn't introduce your Co diagnostician to us.
ERIC, you are AWSOME what messed up situation that garage was in in my opinion they should call some one who knows how to diagnoses not not to do part changes and guessing came and as always enjoyable to watch another great video full of info from you brother thanks for sharing.cheeeeers
I owned a infinity q50 and found this video thays why i subscribed to your channel😉
Good work Eric 👍👌thanks so much
What a mess! I feel sorry for the shop. Lol.
Your daughter is absolutely beautiful! Such a cutie! You will have to fight the guys off when she grows up! 🤣👊🏻👊🏻
Awesome video Eric!! 👍🏻
Yeah, I felt bad for everyone involved. The customer and the shop owner.
She always tells me she's going to marry daddy lol
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO 🤣🤣🤣
Very nice exploration and information,something like owners of a shop have bad times,but in general is very satisfactory..
Keep up the good work bro
Thanks for sharing Eric... Cheers.
Very well done my friend. Sam
I was wondering why the battery had "used" written on the top.
Not to be mean but, that shop needs a better technician. Now, the car owners will not be back to the shop and even give bad publicity due to them being charged for something that is not faulty.
Eric, thanks for showing us how it's done!
Great video> Great details and ur NOT talking so fast to make me delirious!
Fact: the steering locks were originally like 900 before they started having an issue then they came out with an updated part that was around 300. Issue is that we couldn't use the old part number on the most repairs but still had them in stock. So most parts departments want to get rid of the old part because 1) they needed to clear their shelfs and 2) they get higher commission off the older more expensive part. The reason the new was cheaper was that it took away the mechanical steering lock function altogether and was more of a dummy lock to start the vehicle, hence why pulling the fuse really doesn't do much
Thanks for the info!
You can modify the old lock into the dummy by opening it and taping down the 2 switches and removing the little lock portion that goes into the column.
Any resource for the $300 part and or part number? I flew from CA to MN last week to buy a FX50/ drive it back and the part failed half way in UT. It miraculously came back to life after rolling off the flatbed at the repair shop so I left running and didn't turn it off until I got home. The steering rack is also noisy and feels bad.
My parents have this issue right now and a dealer wants to charge them $4500 to fix it. Where do you get that module at if you don’t get it through a dealer?
Super interesantes tus videos gracias por compartir tus conocimientos me ayudo mucho el video del mini cooper
I clicked this video thinking some mechanic was trying to bash us to make themselves look good but I agree with what you said. The issue we have is we can only go by what the person calling us out tells us. Now I know as a locksmith with 8 plus years of experience I would’ve instantly guessed it was the steering lock module due to the key being already programmed but the steering lock not releasing. But the BCMs are trash in Nissan/Infinitis so with little mechanic knowledge I could see how he was just guesstimate that as being the issue, but then again if it’s at a shop it’s their job to find the problem, then call us to do our part.
Good info! Thanks Eric
Any time!
Grasias hermano por esta excelente info. Me beneficio mucho. Que dios te de mas conocimiento.
Dang great video bruh. I dont understand why your sub level isnt at 500k by now.
Excellent video
muy buen video como siempre. tienes toda la razón!! saludos
I had this problem and I disconnected the battery and connect it again. It worked!
Great job ,excellent 👏👍continue making videos ...awsome man ...
This is a great example of a professional using the best diagnostic tool available, his intelligence and training and someone else jumping to conclusions
Took me 2 damn days to get here for my issue thank you
very detail information thanks for sharing
great vid, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Cool man, great video. I have my Infiniti g37x problem child I need to deal with soon. No interior lights. Went through fuses, that's a far as I got. I was once a Honda tech, never Nissan. Lucky me
That's exactly right. Many locksmith guys don't know how to diagnose antitheft problem. I've been in many shops where the locksmith guy supposedly programmed keys but nothing happened. Other shops have spend a lot of money and still couldn't fix it..They're not diagnosticians..Always understand the system. A lot of Nissans the problem is the unified meter where the customer drops coins and shorts out. In that case the bcm with not communicate. Just disconnect the unified meter connector and you'll get communication. Then the vehicle will starts. In this case you can tap on the steering lock module with rubber mallet and most of time it works.
I just solved it on my 2011 G37, saved me from spending LOTS of money - if this happens to you PAY ATTENTION:
- NEVER lock the steering wheel when this happens - ALWAYS keep it centered and unlocked !
- The 10A steering lock fuse is the one you need to pull ONLY WHILE THE ENGINE IS TURNED ON !!!
- ALWAYS be careful when pulling out the fuse box since the main electric harness is attached to its bottom
- If the battery is in the way - remove the battery and then put it back in and only then try starting the car
- try starting the car while tapping the steering lock module under the steering wheel - tap it WHILE pushing the brake pedal+start button at the same time
Good luck
Amazing video 💯💯💯💯
Like always great content
Thanks!
Great video
thats a great scan tool thanks
another awsome video,warm greeting from iran
Great job
Great video.
Eric she is a cutie. She definitely adds class to your videos. You and family stay safe and well Artie 😊
Good advice. I would use the key slot if it had one instead of touching the start button.
Legend!
Sweet your the man
You have a beautiful baby girl reminds me of my baby girl when she was a baby many years ago! Great video new subscriber enjoying the videos just wished they were more in depth, longer! Thx buddy 😃
Good job 👍👍👍👍
Wow, what a costly mistake. Thank goodness this has never happened to me. Thanks for the video bro.
Wow. Locksmith? That’s crazy. Thank you for tips and your knowledge!! Your kid is so adorable!!!
excelent video thanks
Good job
I'm a woman and watch your videos because I like to have a general idea on what the possible issues are with my 08 G35. Man, I wished you were in Los Angeles. Why can't I find an expert like you in LA. 😭
Hi sir i know its an old video and etc i read many of the comments here but from what I read didnt gave you a good cheap smart solution, so you will know for the future instade buying an expansive steering lock you can use emulator like we are usuing in benz cars, the only what you will need its emulator and new key thats it, it an plug and play, im an locksmith for 7 years working only cars so im pretty familier with many of those issues, and not all the locksmith whos putting a sign on there trucks really know what they are doing but some people are know what they are doing, thank you again
Well actually the key man is the one who told me what my exact problem was. It was the mechanics that were charging for parts and labor with no solution
Great video. It’s worth noting that holding the key up to the start button on this car won’t do anything. This is a slot key. On Nissans and Infinitis with the slot in the dash you’ll want to insert the key into the slot. Same as you would if the fob battery was dead.
Thanks bro I just used this to fix my car
Phenomenal! Keep up the great work! 👌👍
I’m a former automotive technician and I’m now an apprentice locksmith. I work with a real automotive locksmith who is honest and has diagnostic capabilities. These “locksmiths” you’re talking about are fly by nights with an im608 and a dolphin key machine on the race to the bottom. Please think before you dig on locksmiths.
Excellent job brother I wish you could have show us how did you program and using which tool, also can you program a good used (S/hand) lock module....?
great vid
Very useful info! BTW: The car looks like a S51 body - 2nd generation FX35, so I would have selected FX35/FX50 in the scan tool. When you selected FX35/FX45 - S50 in the scan tool, do you think there was any limit to the control modules that the scanner could access?
Exelent video
I will be waiting for the next video
Even some dealers can't fix a problem. I brought my daughters car to have a remote programmed on her 2010 vw beetle. 4 hrs later they said they couldn't do it. They tried to sell me on a 1200 dollar vacuum pump replacement for a small oil leak. 4 yrs later I did a vacuum pump delete kit for 189.
