Problem with Almera Electrics

[stewartd]

2001 - 1.5 - 3 door Almera
My WindScreen Washer, Rear Window Heater & Rear Wiper have all stopped working.

I checked the fuses under the dash and all seem okay. There are more fuses under the bonnet, but I don't know much about them. I don't want to bring it to a garage and find out it was something small that I could fix myself. I would be confident that all cables/wires are okay.

Anyone else experience the same ?
I have already replaced several bulbs in the last 6 months.

Check your owner's manual.

It should tell you what electrical systems are on what fuses. If all your problems are on the same fuse then replacing it might be an idea.

There's most likely a relay under your hood (or bonnet if you wish) that is responsible for all 3. Chhanging that should fix your problem.

Is it the rear windscreen washer thats stopped as well as the rear wiper and rear demister?
If so it could be a break in the wiring around the hatchback possibly pinched on a hinge etc.

I got it checked out by a mechanic who was a friend of my Dad. He couldn't figure it out and reckoned I would have to have it rigged up to the computer in a Nissan Dealer. Just as he was about to give up he spotted the problem; The label inside the Fuse Panel did not match the actual Fuse Board, hence we were swapping the wrong fuse all the time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's quite basic stuff. I'm definitely not incinuating that you were at fault here, but before I post a reply, I just assume that those very basic checks have been done. I don't know if others on this board assume the same thing.

However, glad to hear that you got it straightened out ;) Thanks for following up with that last post.
