Pros: Cheaper than #1.
Cons: Documentation may be hard to find. If you screw up bad enough, go to #1.

If you decide to go with #2, please take a lot of pics and post a DIY.

Here's my plan:

I was told this car has an extended warranty that ends in 2 weeks. I have an appointment this coming tuesday at my local Nissan dealer. I hope they either can reproduce the problem (intermittent at this point) or they will believe me and replace the IPDM.

If things don't go that way, i'll try to find the same part on ebay for cheap and replace it. If successful i would then open the old one and see about fixing it.

Worst case scenario I can't find the exact same model and open mine.

I saw a few on ebay, they look the same but carry different part numbers. Not sure what differences there are but since this is an integrated circuit board, there can be many differences, can't take a chance without a perfect match.

Sounds like a great plan to me. Good luck.
