Micra won't start - does not turn over

[chelsea]

Hi Guys!

4 months ago i brought my first car.... a 1.0 Nissan Micra E, 04 plate.

After 2 months it developed a problem, when the car had been left out in the sun for a while, it wouldnt start, not even turn over. Then if you leave it a while (approx 30 mins) it will then start. All the lights showing on dashboard so all fine. It was a very rare problem until late - happening twice a week, in the most akward of circumstances!

I have had my alternator and battery tested - not those. I have had a new starter motor - not that. Now im being told it may be an ignition barrel or switch. Im being quoted 380 by nissan for a new barrel but aparently the switch is much cheaper. I want to know exactly which it is before i spend alot of money!!

Please, any help/advice would be grately appreciated.

Thanks,
Chelsea

Short answer for this.
Have you looked at the fuse box under the passengers side headlight.
Some relay might be the cause or just the fuse box it's self.
I may have posted a video link in the past about this.
Good luck with solving the issue.
I will find and add a quick link here for you here shortly.
