    I don't see how the steering wheel not sitting straight can be the cause, if it happens when stationary.

    Mine will occasionally bring on the lights when I'm traveling on dirt roads at speed. Once I cycle the ignition, lights turn off.
    see above Rod

    Another thing that will happen if I dont press the brake hard to bring the lights "ON" is if I drive and turn my steering wheel the left front wheel starts locking up or so it feels like it(like stability control kicking in)

    90degrees thats a mighty effort. Vehicle speed is another input for VDC/ABS. It shouldn't cause a fault when stationary.

    It was only about an eight out before I replaced the above components, but after it was worse and I have no idea why. Anyway I will replace the drag link with an adjustable to get it right. Once I get the vehicle back after they do the recall I'll try the same with holding the steering wheel straight

    Yeah, I think thats your next step. It will be interesting to see how it is after you replace the drag link.

    What recall? Panhard nut?

    Draglink will be ordered as soon as I find some coin, bit broke ATM.

    Yeah, I never took it in as I thought it was a joke of a recall but I suppose they will fit the bit of space age engineering onto the nut...lol

    Forgot to update till I saw another thread...OOps

    Anyway, I picked the vehicle up from Nissan and after them telling me the whole time my steering wheel was out causing the issues the actual problem was just a brake fuse apparently!
    They replaced the fuse and no issues for the past two weeks:) Happy chappy, although I have only driven it twice...LOL

    Anyway happy for now
