When I bought the Dayz it had a stuffed motor. Tried to start but it would not even fire. Fitted newish motor and it started first kick. Was really surprised and elated. Drove up and down street while checking things out. Parked for a couple of weeks now does not start. Not a peep. Has a mongoose fitted. Came with the vehicle.It must be working OK caus when the remote is pressed to deactivate the lights flash and you can hear the solenoid click and the starter cranks OK. Spark seems very weak. Battery is OK. 600 cca and is fully charged All accessories work OK except brake lights..

prob is that all the brake lights come on when the engine is running or key in accessories mode. or even when everything is off and only the battery is connected and no key in the ignition

If you have checked the brake light switch above the pedal then it is likely you have a sort in the loom somewhere.

Have you put a meter on the battery and seen what happens to the voltage when you crank the engine?

Can you try running a wire from the battery to the coil loom? (They earth through the ecu).

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
