All Warning Lights Are On Wtf! Need Some Help!

[Lakes101]

Ok now this has me truly stumped drove my cat fo work today all is fine as normal. When I just started my car I noticed the headlights wouldn't come on then all the warning lights came on no speedo rev counter cluster lights off no display in what gear I'm in and indicators not working. Sorry no cel light but. At check, abs, 4wd and hicas are all on the abs unit make a weird winding up noise about 20 seconds after start up then stops and light comes on.

So as you can expect I'm freaking out and stumped on even where to start.

[Sinista32]

So it starts (engine running) ?

Done the usual checks

Battery, fuses and relays

Immobiliser unit ?

No evidence of tampering (attempted theft)?

[PN-Mad]

Battery

That's where you start.

How old is it, does it have good earth?

[Commsman]

I've had the christmas lights dash before plus a few other weird things. Battery.

[Lakes101]

Yeah starts fine just the sytoms listed. The battery was changed a couple months ago so no probs since then. Checked fuses as good as I can in the dark I don't have a torch on me tonight so the battery fuse box is hard to read. It starts headlights take a while to come on no gear display getting error code 805 clutch position circuit or 1805 brake switch. No immobiliser so it can't be that.

Stumped :'(

Was your gear selector display up and running when this happens to you mate. Mine is blank can't select gear and speed taco and dead on 0

[PN-Mad]

Oh, I geddit.

It's been absolutely pissing rain down in Syd.

I bet you've got water in one of your fuse boxes. Check behind the batter, and also in the bottom of the RHS drivers footwell.

Make sure all drain holes are clean and clear, and leave the covers off for a while to dry it out.

[Commsman]

Sorry, don't remember about the gear selector as too many years ago. Even though the battery is very new, I'd get it checked/swapped simply to rule it out.

[Commsman]

Yeah, what Alex says above. If you've parked in torrential rain that can happen.

It has been passing down last night and the few days prior to but driving today all was well.

I'll check fuses in foot well and battery compartment in the morning can't see anything at this time. It's to dark. I know about the fuse box in front of the battery in that compartment is there another further back behind the battery is there?

[PN-Mad]

I think there is only one in there.

Front back side whatever, I can't remember!

But I think it's more likely the foot well one. The muck clogs the drain at the bottom of the guard.

Have a good look around, and report back.

[Lakes101]

Ok cheers gents I'll have a good scout around the fuses in the morning. Looks like an early rise for me then. I'll post up my finding while I'm at it.

Thanks for your help gents.

Take the battery tray out and ditch the rubber drain bung under it.

[Lakes101]

Is the bung blocking water from escaping is it Scott? Good tip mate!

[scotty nm35]

It floods in quicker than the bung can drain it, especially if it's gunked up.

There is actually two fuse boxes in the battery box. Second one is kinda behind and to the side. Wheel arch side

[Lakes101]

Well. More rain again today post back in an hours hopefully with good news

[Lakes101]

So no luck! Checked all fuses all are good drained the battery well it was blocked up but not up to the electrics checked footwell fuses all are good aswell. Checked battery that's goid. So guess nissan or auto electrician is next!? :-S

[Lakes101]

Searched again I'm getting error code p0805 clutch position sensor and brake switch as codes brake switch would be due to brake cut mod. Anyone know anything about clutch position sensor?

[scotty nm35]

I would suspect the relay box behind the battery has water in it, you might want to remove it and dry it all out.
