I haven't had time to check anything recently, but I did notice today that with the AC on there was a squealing belt noise which eventually went away. Then when I would turn the AC on and off a slight grinding noise would occur as the AC was put on. Again I don't know of this has anything to do with the problem, but it just started to occur.

At first, i thought that as well. But I'm pretty sure if that's not connected air will full blast 100% of the time. And I think your gauge cluster either doesn't work or it lights up like a christmas tree.

Took the car to Nissan and they said the alternator is my problem, and the AC compressor needs to be replaced. Pepboys lied to me.

I installed led bulbs today and notice the same power loss under open throttle. Why is this?

Non OEM led tail lights or led bulbs causes this problem. I have seen other people use resistors that helps with the issue, however, would it be worth losing any amount of power?

im having this same issue. My full throttle seems to feel like half throttle and I will get a little blip of full power around 3500 rpm but that’s only for second. Both vdc and slip lights are on as well and my front right brake sometime pulsates when turning like the abs is going off and I can even be sent into a limp mode, but not always. The previous owner before me cut and put in a switch that taps into the yaw sensor to fully disable the traction control and abs, so I thought that must be the issue but even after removing the switch and requiring it back to stock this is still happening.
