Weird M35 Electrical Issue

[garetb16]

hey guys, car is acting very weird at the moment and am a little worried as im about to sell my other car in

the next few days and this will be the only one for a month or so while i wait.

about a month ago i broke down in the city late at night with a suspected dead battery. (well now im thinking it was something else) had a jump start from a friend and was on my way. drove 25km home and parked in garage, started next morning no problem - no noticeable issues since.

Friday night just gone was driving locally at night in the back streets and turned my Hi Beams on and my radio cut out - thought that was odd.

Next morning (Saturday) i couldn't get into the car with the button. so i opened it with the key and disarmed the alarm which was sounding with the Nissan immobilizer key, then the car wouldn't start, was completely dead (no lights etc). I left it went back inside and came out an hour later and opened the door. the lights were on and the key started it fine no problem. WEIRD!

This morning starts no problem (not started since Sat) driving to work stop to get a cup of coffee, lock car go inside, come out and unlock get in start.

Stereo has reset? so i tune it back to my station.

as im worried on my lunch break i take it for a drive and notice the Volt Gauge has more movement than normal but still around 14v constant but is flickering more than i have ever noticed. while driving i turn on the Hi Beams and the car nearly died mid flight, as soon as i let go of the light it sorted itself out and kept driving.

ANY IDEAS GUYS.>??? SCOTTY???

im assuming its either my alternator or my battery, but its weird as its at a constant 14v which tells me the alternator is ok, but it sat still for 4 days and started fine which tells me the battery is ok?

check all your fuses

weird grounding issues can occurr when fuses blow.............

SORTED!

turned out it was the wire connector on the fusable link was loose. (on top of the battery - terminal)

so was cutting in and out
