Currently waiting for Nissan Rescue............................Car won't unlock with remote or the actual key in the key hole. The indicators do flash but very very dim. So dim that you have to get up close to see them flash. Sounds like a dead battery(Fiamm) but no prior indication of degradation, even the stop/start was still working fine before.

It was down to 5 volts. Battery tested and was OK, no parasitic drains. Now on charge............... RAC man said he was expecting a battery failure but unfortunately it didn't. Still under warranty for another 2 months so hopefully it will fail soon. Waited over 3 hours for RAC though.

I took it into my dealer for some other minor warranty niggles and they put a new battery on while it was there even though it passed the RAC battery test :D .
