Driving car early this morning, stopped at servo, turned off, locked up. Came back, car started and turned lights on then it stalled. Now have no ignition, doesn't crank/click or prime fuel pump, no dash lights but still beeps when key is in ignition and door open, interior light working. Have changed all of the fuses under the dash (only one busted which was an accessory - the cigarette lighter one) and the ignition blade fuse under the bonnet. Main switch working, swapped one of the abs/sunroof long green clip type fuses into the ignition position and still nothing. Is there are relay or breaker somewhere that i cannot see? Any advice would be great as have had to leave it at a servo overnight.

Sounds like all the battery circuit stuff is working but the main ignition circuit has failed. Long shot but I actually had a very similar issue for a while and traced it to the main ignition harness connector on the back of the interior driver's-side fuse panel.

I confirmed the issue by manually manipulating the really thick wires going into the top of the fuse panel and watching the ignition-operated stuff (like the instrument cluster) flash on and off.

The main harness connector (smallish, thick wire going in, only one or two terminals I think very vague menmory). It was making a poor connection. I removed the fuse panel and sanded and manipulated the connector on the plug to make better contact and that fixed it.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
