We finally got the nv today and I am pumped. It's actually better than I had hoped, it rides incredably smooth and is very comfortable.
But we were trying to find something inside when it was dark out and I couldn't figure out how to turn on all the dome lights without opening the door. I know I can open any door and it turns on all the lights but I can't find a switch that turns on all the lights. Every other vehicle I have owned has had a switch somewhere on the dash usually connected the instrument display illumination.
Am I missing something obvious? Or can I only turn on 1 dome light at a time?

You're correct, there is no master switch to turn them all on. That's one of the more frequent complaints people have. It could be done by tapping into the wiring from the drivers door to a switch, but so far I'm not sure if anyone has bothered doing that...

That sounds like a fun side project I think there is a blank switch space on the driver door side of the dashboard.
Thanks Andy

If you do it please post back and let us know how it went. I think there is at least one other that did it but they never said how and they dont post much. We were pretty frustrated that we could not turn them all on but got over it and we're now used to it.

NVDad81, I'm right behind you. I just got my new-to-me 2014. I have been eyeing that switch blank too. Pull a wire to the door switch and you could easily turn all on, as long as the individual switches are set to center (door). A more sophisticated approach would be nice, but I don't have much experience with wiring harness.

I'm not overly good at electrical. Maybe I'll talk to one of the mechanics at my dealer to see if they have any suggestions on how to do it. I'm interested in seeing it I can get a switch from another Nissan vehicle with a 3 position switch. Would be cool if it was even labeled on/off/door

If you wire into the door switch which would be easiest, I would think it would activate the door open warning light and chime that your keys are in the ignition when you turn the switch on. That may not matter to you or somebody doing it but something to think about.
I swear there is at least one person that did it on here and they wired into the overhead lights I think... I may need to do some digging.

Why cant you post it here? I am sure a LOT of people would like to know how to make them work off a switch up front.
