I noted this in the diy already.

Ken, I wasn't necessarily trying to insinuate that the issue was purely isolated to an electrical or oil symptom, and I know that you were not postulating that either - sorry if I came across as such. I have your DIY open in another tab (amongst a hundred other ones), but haven't been able to thoroughly peruse it. I've only scrolled through to see the pics and get a general idea of how to replace the defective unit, but I'll read through it more carefully tonight. Also, you can just call me 'sabi'

Onzedge, Nissan's decision to completely eliminate the part in the 2012 model (is that verified?) is more insult to the injury - it means that they're likely aware of the issue...
