Where is the sensor for the headlight "on" indicator and key in ignition located? The interior light doesn't even come on. There is no longer a warning when the driver's door is opened for the headlights being on, key in ignition, or illumintion of interior lights when the door is opened , but the sensor on the passenger door works.
This is an '03 Murano...we bought it when everyone said it was a "funny looking car".

Welcome to the forum!
My guess would be the driver-side door sensor has failed. Unfortunately it is part of the latch mechanism.

| I know you will not get a warning if the headlights are one but when you open the passenger side door does the interior light come one? (Is the switch set to the the "door" position?) |

On my old '81 diesel VW Rabbit, there was a little pin that the door pushed against when closed. That determined whether the door was open or not.
I had that get stuck in the "compressed" position once, so that my dome light would not come on automatically when I opened the door. Turned out, there was just a lot of gunk on it making it hard to move in and out.
Cleaned it off, sprayed it down with WD-40, and it worked fine until I sold the car a couple years later.
Not sure if there's a similar thing on the MO, but it might just be a matter of finding that switch and seeing if it's stuck. |

I wish it was that simple. Unfortunately, it looks like the "switch" is incorporated into the latch mechanism inside the door.

| Is it possible that you have left the headlights switch on Auto, if the lights are on that control you will not get a audible alarm that your headlights are on. |

actually the murano still uses the little compression rubber pin thing for sensing if the door is open......
I press it sometimes when I have the door open and the chiming gets irritating when i have the key in.... |

Where is your door switch located, because I do not see one on mine?
