Hi There,
Nissan Micra K11 1.3 Super S. I went to start it the other day after a few weeks and obviously it wouldn't start. I jump started it and this worked but after a while it slowly died. No amount of revs would keep the engine running. The AA came out and took a look at it and it turned out to be the battery (dead cell) and an alternator issue.
Since then I have obtained a new battery and a second hand alternator from Jap parts (just waiting for it to be fitted). However I have fitted the new battery and expected most of the electrics to work on the car. However with a brand new battery fitted none of the interior lights or electronics work without the engine running. Start the engine and after a while the lights, hazards and interior lights come on. Turn the engine off again and try them again and they don't work.
Can't think what would be causing this to happen, does anybody have any ideas??
Thanks
