John Paul seems to know your Nissan well. Some basic battery checks you could also make are to replace any battery that is 5 or more years old. The pain and aggravation isn't worth it when they get older than that. Otherwise, you can't tell a good battery by simply looking at it and making sure it's shiny black in color. So if you don't have a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) to make sure the battery voltage reads 12.6 Volts after charging the battery (see Sears battery maintainer/ charger below) and waiting 1/2 hour for the surface charge to drain off, then you'll need to have your battery load tested at the auto store. The battery cables and connections are all important too, and you need to remove the battery cables once every year or so and clean them with a wire brush, especially inside the cable clamps and around the battery posts.


This battery charger can be conveniently plugged into your cigarette lighter, but you have to charge the battery all day or all night since it charges at only a 4 Amp rate.

Answer 3

If the lights go a lil dimmer then the starter maybe locked up.

If the lights don't go dimmer then the starter relay or fuse may be bad.

There's other things but those two are most likely. Check them and ask again if needed.
