DIY: AWD to RWD Switch
#31
Look where I put my switch!
I recently did this mod, and put a switch from a Polaris ATV in a spot where a blank unused switch was located. Take a peek! I tried to purposely hit the switch with my leg. It's almost impossible.

Yeah I've seen a few people say they do but I'm almost certain they don't. Infiniti certainly didn't make their packaging and options the easiest to follow on the G.

If you scroll to the top of this thread and look through the pictures you will find a screen shot of a signal table from the FSM. This shows that there are three power inputs to the AWD module. All three inputs are sourced from three 10 amp fuses in separate locations throughout the car. One is in the fuse block behind the drivers kick panel, the other is in the IPDME/R under the hood in the battery compartment and the third is in the fusable link block on the red battery terminal.
Also, still referring the first post in this thread, check to see if your AWD mod switch is inline with the green wire on pin 7 of the AWD module conenctor.
Ther green wire on pin 7 sends power to the AWD module from the start switch circuit so that when the car is turned on the module recieves power on pin 7 and loses power when the car is switched off. Since this puts the AWD mod switch in-line with the start switch there will be less chance of blowing a fuse since the AWD module expects power to be switched on and off through this circuit.
Hope this helps fix your issue, and remember, track use only!

So your saying you spliced the green wire and just connected a new wire from there to the switch? so there is only 1 wire connected to the back of the switch and just makes the AWD change from on to off?

lost
So please let me know if I am about to do this right before I cut some wires to try to properly wire the switch . Cut the green wire, then does the green wire remaining in wire harness connect to positive end of the switch and the end of the green that is cut and coming from the wire jacket should go to ground on the switch to properly wire this switch so that AWD is always turned on unless the switch is switched? Please someone let me know

Sorry, missed this reply.
Basically you will be putting the switch inline with the wire, meaning to cut the wire and put one end of the wire to one side of the switch and the other end to the other end of the switch.
Noticed you have an 07 G35 Sedan, You will also need to verify the connector wire positions with a wiring diagram to ensure you working on the correct wire since it may not always be the green wire, especially on 1st runs af a new generation.
