Nissan Repair: Electrical Problem ?, nissan 200sx, intermittent problem


Question
On my 1994 Nissan 200SX I have an intermittent problem. When I turn the ignition key to start the car there seems to be no power to anything, it will not turn over, no dash lights and appears to be dead. Battery is less than a year old.This happens only occasionally. The car usually starts and runs with no problem. Thank you for any clues you can give.

Answer
Tom,

I would jump the car or get the battery charged.  If the battery is charged and you have nothing would indicate a burnt fuse or fuse link at the positive battery post.  Once you get it running go to Autozone or Checker and get a free electrical inspection.  I would make sure all cables are in good order and all connections are tight too.  The guys at Autozone or Checker will let you know how the system is performing.
