1997 Altima GXE - power loss to random items

Jan 02, 2005 3 Replies

Hi,



Automatic transmission, ~ 76K miles. I have lost power to the following items:


- 'headlights on' warning bell



- 'key in ignition' warning bell



- rear defog



- power locks



Note: power windows work and overhead light works (also when door is open.) Ignition/starting and cigarette lighter are also working fine. Dashboard lights and radio work.



We have checked all of the relays and fusible links, as well as the fuses for electronics located in the passenger cabin, and all of these are (as near as we can tell) intact.



Before I go to the shop, I wanted to see if anyone can think of anything else we can check and possibly fix ourselves. We have looked through the Haines manual and feel like we've checked everything that was mentioned there. It might be the circuit breaker behind the passenger cabin fuse panel, but we don't know how to reset it.



Thanks for any tips you can give.



Hi

I have not had to deal with that breaker, but you could pull the breaker out and test for continuity.

You should try and actually put new fuses in, the may be broken and just not noticable. Or switch the fuses with ones that you know work to make sure.

maybe u have a voodoo error where some voltage spike killed a few things.
