Unhappy Electrical problems. Any help?

Just before I bought stock hinges to replace my Lambo hinges, the drivers side wiring harness got pinched and exposed the white wire bare. I think it grounded against the hinge so now comes my problem.....

No power seats
No windows
No trunk release
No fuel door
No door locks
No fuses blown (that I can find)

The top still works fine, as well as radio, heat, a/c, etc. My buddy thinks it may have fried the controller. I hope not as it is very expensive.

Any thoughts or ideas on what it may be?

Thanks in advance

(p.s.: You'll see my lambo hinges in the classifieds soon real cheap)

you could have possibly fried the bcm...thats the only thing i can think of that would cause that many different circuits to crap out

I am taking it to a Nissan dealer for diagnosis. If they tell me what it is for sure I think my buddy can fix it. If it is the bcm I guess I'll have to ask them how much to program it if he installs it.

you should test the fuses with a continuity tester. i have had and seen others with blown fuses where you can not tell by just looking at them. if you don't have a tester, do what I did. Use the spare fuses to replace fuses one by one that may be responsible for what's not working.

your right when u say that...fuses cant be "looked at" all the time...but you would have to have blown more than one for all those to crap out on you

I'm having similar problems with my Z, but my fuel door still works. My problems were also not sudden. I have my V1 hard wired and it would cut on and off and that's how I knew I was loosing power to the door and windows. Could this also be attributed to a bad BCM?

Possibly I guess. But mine went out suddenly when I think a wire grounded on the frame.

My issue wasn't the BCM after all. There was a fuse that was installed by the alarm installer that was tucked under the dash that blew.
