| Description of the problem | When attempting to turn on the ignition all the dashboard needle indicators began to vibrate and there was a clicking noise from the ignition. After i removed the key from the ignition, the dashboard needles continue to vibrate for about 30 seconds. I hooked up a portable battery charger to the battery to attempt a jump start, but the vehicle would not start and the battery charger indicated a "battery charged" display. Having had a similar problem in june 2011, which i took to my local nissan dealership who were unable to duplicate the problem, but did remove the battery for testing. I disconnected the negative battery cable, waited a couple of minutes, then reconnected the negative cable and the was able to able to start the vehicle. Not sure what is causing the problem, as there was about a four month period between incidents. |
