Evening All,
Just wondering if anyone has heard of an electrical issue with the 3.0litre Navara. Have one that has only done 6000k's but 3 times the fuse for the instruments has blown and 5 to 10 mins later the battery is as flat as a tack.
Go to the Nissan dealer he replaces the fuse, charges the battery and tests the system and as you can guess all checks ok.
Starting to get very frustrated as this can happen anywhere anytime. Nissan can't offer any possible solution so just hoping someone may have come accross this before.
Any help would be greatlt appreciated.
Cheers,
bobk

Hi Bobk
Haven't heard of before , sounds like a real pain.
A battery can't go flat in a few minutes without a lot of heat being generated and going somewhere.
If it happens again I would immediatly try to see where the
battery power goes in those few mintues and also first have alternator checked to see that battery was actually charged, maybe by having cheap aftermarket voltmeter fitted.

Thanks Robin.
We have suggested to the dealer that they should replace the battery and see how it goes, but of course, unless they can actually identify the problem they are not interested in the process of elimination.
cheers,
