I've found that if I open and close the driver door the Z "wakes up" but the clock has reset, the head unit has reset and who knows what else resets... another oddity is that the windows will be rolled down an inch or so & I can roll the windows completely down and inch or so at a time with 8 or 9 pushes of the door switch in the jamb, NOT the window switch. Bizarre.

My own skill sets would have me delving into that rubber gaiter to isolate any frayed/broken/stretched wires there. Be sure to check the large connectors right at the kick panel where the door harness enters the car body.

If that yielded no results, I'd pull the driver's door panel and check for loose wires/connectors/grounds for the power lock and cylinder (key) locks.

If that yielded no results ... then you'll need the expertise of a good service technician, not necessarily at a Nissan dealership, if you're so inclined. Independent mechanics will be cheaper, but you'll need to find a good one. Good Luck!

First question: Are you still using the original battery? If so, buy a new battery. I bought an Optima Red Top for mine when the original battery hit 5 years old. Considering that you are getting resets to all things that require 'keep-alive' power, that points to the battery being bad. There will be enough power in the battery to move the window in fits and spurts, but not enough to power the window motor.
