Default 4WD, DAC and seat a/c switches stopped working

This evening the following switches stopped working for me:

4wd lo/hi
DAC
Seat heater / cooler

Plus all their lights are also out; additionally the shift gear indicator light is also out.

Lastly the seat ventilator seemed to not be warming up either regardless of the switch being on cool or hot positions

Otherwise car drove fine and main AC worked fine.

So basically all your center console switches just died? Kind of sounds like one of the connectors under the center console came loose... but having taken those out before, the chances of them just falling out are slim. I'd check the fuses under driver footwell and relay box under hood, a basic first thing to look at.

Will do, how can I "check"? Is it simply changing the fuse / relay out? Also I just got it back from the dealer where they resealed the transfer case and changed out the blower of the A/C... with that being said, could the wiring harness have come off like you said? Or is it still likely that a fuse / relay blew?

I mean check if there's any blown fuses. But now that you've said there's been work done in that area I wouldn't bother and just take it back, it could very well be loose connector

Reminds me of the time I took the 5th gen 4R in for a TSB on cloudy headlights... They replaced the headlight housing and didn't connect the headlight harness....

I had a Nissan dealer forget to tighten down a caliper bolt (TSB/Warranty repair at time) and it fell out on a drive over a mountain pass. Talk about warped rotor feel. They are no longer in business.
