Consumer Description

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE IGNITION ALL THE DASHBOARD NEEDLE INDICATORS BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE FROM THE IGNITION. AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE DASHBOARD NEEDLES CONTINUE TO VIBRATE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. I HOOKED UP A PORTABLE BATTERY CHARGER TO THE BATTERY TO ATTEMPT A JUMP START, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE BATTERY CHARGER INDICATED A "BATTERY CHARGED" DISPLAY. HAVING HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN JUNE 2011, WHICH I TOOK TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT DID REMOVE THE BATTERY FOR TESTING. I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE, WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THEN RECONNECTED THE NEGATIVE CABLE AND THE WAS ABLE TO ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, AS THERE WAS ABOUT A FOUR MONTH PERIOD BETWEEN INCIDENTS. *TR
