If you try that and she still doesn't give you something message me back. If you have a good belt on the crank going to the alternator, it's possible the alternator went and the battery ran dead, but with the ignition off for a short while, the battery will recover some and you'll see some dim lights on the dash.

You also could have burnt a bunch of fuses if your alternator full fielded (turned up from whatever % capacity it was charging at to 100% charging, alternators can make up to 40 volts from what I've seen testing totaled cars to figure out why jump starts fry ****) full fielding is due to a big voltage dip, a burnt wire or fuseable link maybe? Something took a poop on your day but no more than a couple of parts at best to just one best case scenario. Some cars have a battery fuse, that's a possibility. I don't remember your car specifically although I've worked on them, but I know just about every positive battery cable has 2 or 3 obvious wires feeding #1 the starter, #2 a fuse box or more than one fuse and relay box, some cars split the positive cable in several different directions, you need to start close to the battery if everything is dead. Got light? Then that's probably not it either because the starter won't kill all that stuff on your dash. Next touch the big positive cable on the starter. Hook your test light up to the negative or a ground and touch the positive battery terminal. I'd start at the positive battery terminal, see where power isn't going that it's supposed to by following the main red cables to their ends, then keep going, this can be done with a test light, you don't even need a multi-meter for that. If nothing is working at all, I'd rule out computer issues right away, because again you'd have a few symptoms not zero power, an 03 shouldn't be computerized to the point that you'd lose all that stuff with a bad computer. One problem can cause dozens of symptoms when we're dealing with electricity. If nothing is working at all you've got a power supply problem, a bad ground won't effect all of your electronics, just some of them and all those parts won't go bad at once. The guy who taught me always told me 'Keep it simple stupid'. Thanks!Ĭlick to expand.Whoa, easy there cowboy!Īlways start with the basics, then confirm the problem before buying a single part. I would appreciate any guidance you may have. All of the other lights, radio, and turn signals still function with the key in the On position, but still no dash warning lights. There is no power getting to the starter signal wire when I try to start it. New battery terminals, cleaned the engine and chassis ground connections

So I started throwing darts at the problem. I tried my OBD2 reader and it doesn't power up. Also, none of the dash warning lights turned on (check engine, oil, etc.) with the key in the On position. No clicking, no dimming of the lights, nothing. When I tried to start it, it didn't even try to turn over. It was still running fine, but then I parked. I was driving along and the guages all stopped working (all to zero), but the guage illumination was still on.

I have an 03 Frontier XE with 4wd and the 3.3L V6, 5 SPD, that doesn't start. Hi all, I have a mystery that I could use some help with.
