Gear indicator is flashing "N"
 
No matter what gear I'm in the indicator flashes that it's in neutral. But I know it's not the sensor because then it wouldn't be flashing. Any idea how to fix it?

not sure what means in Nissan, but my acura was flashing the green light next to drive indicator...it was the equivalent of a check engine light but for transmission in my acura. which means something is up with transmission.

Hope that is not the case with you...not sure what that means in Nissan...

Hmm everything seems normal with the transmission, and I forgot to add this is a 6 speed.

Better hope it keeps flashing... I heard that when it stops, your car blows up.

no, that's only when your speed drops below 55mph :D

Bring it back to Nissan. You're well within Warranty, why troubleshoot it? :tup:

+1

If you do want to troubleshoot on your own, check out the Factory Service Manual (FSM). I'd start in the TM (Transaxle and Transmission) section. I'd also use an OBD scanner to check for any DTCs.

Exactly.............

There are hall sensors to determine what location the shifter is in. The location is sent to the ECM and then goes to the gear indicator. To me, it sounds like the sensor pack is bad, so the ECM does not "read" the shifter location. This should be covered under warranty (if still covered).

Keep us posted...

I've had the car for only 2 months but the car is a 2009 with 33k miles so it's out of the bumper to bumper warranty, 3yr/36 right?

You can almost guarantee it

By the way guys, I forgot to mention that the srm doesn't work. The S light doesn't even come on if you press the button.
