    Here an update; I went to a electrician and he found the issue: a faulty voltage regulator. He opened it and apparently some water leaked in to this part :-(

    The problem now is to find a replacement. The electrician searched for two days at officcial nissan dealers and at the second hand part shops (salvage yards) but couldn't find it.

    What is the official name of this part ? The only mark on the part is "JAPAN" and "ATSUGI"

    Does anybody has an online source that would ship either to USA, south america or europe ?

    Thanks for the hint.

    Just to be precise: It turns out this current regulator is not in the instrument panel. It is plugged into the cable tree some where on the passenger side....

    I still need to replace the burnt parts though

    When you got the wiring done, did they install any 12v accessories?

    If they did, that would explain the the failure of the stock regulator/ converter.

    If you can't get an original 24V to 12v Converter, there are heaps of after-market units available. If you get one with a much higher current rating, it will allow you to run 12v accessories. Make sure you upgrade the wiring and fuse to handle the extra current too.
