hi everyone ,

iam new to this forum and thought i would sign up to see if anyone had any similar problems or any ideas why my car isnt starting ?

it all started a couple of weeks ago when i noticed that i had no rear lights !
i read on a forum that if the lights on the aircon are also not working then to change a broken fuse .
so i checked the aircon light and low and behold the light wasnt working , followed the threads nice pictures pointing me to the correct fuse ,
which i pulled out and changed and but not checking the old fuse !
all lights came back on , closed the bonnet and thought that was that .

the next day i went to go out and got halve way down the street and the car cut out and couldnt restart it .
called the AA out they turned up couldnt also find an answer so bypassed the ignition and started the car with no problem by the solenoid .
oh and to note ; since the car stopped there is a high pitched noise which goes off when i open the door or when the key is in the ignition !

took it down my local garage and they pointed out there was a problem with the fuse box , so they took the fuse box out and sent it off for repair .
it came back not repaired as there was nothing wrong with it .

i have been with out the car for a couple of weeks and are non the wiser on what is wrong with it .
if anyone can give me any ideas or similar problems you may of had i would be much appreciated .
thanks in advance
Grant

Welcome to this forum.

Haven't a clue I'm afraid - I hope someone has.

I've never heard of a faulty fusebox or someone replacing/repairing one before.

Welcome to this forum.

How soon after the service did this occur? What does the garage say? Any fault codes?

Hey guys I'm new here

So last week my wipers stopped working I have a 2007 Nissan qashqai acenta 1.6 petrol I had the motor looked at everything was fine and was told it was a problem with the fuse box so I replaced it once the new one was put in the windscreen wipers worked but the car wouldn't start I thought second hand fuse box so might be faulty bought another second hand fuse box still the same problem also when I put the old one back on the car starts is there something else I need to do after installing the fuse box ???

Welcome to this forum.

I can't recall anyone replacing a fuse box before. How was the original one deemed faulty?
