Hi can any one help
Nissan qashqai 2011..1.5 dci
Here goes ..yesterday evening went shopping when I started car the starter seemed slower than usual ..came home no problem

Next morning the car would not crank over ..had battery checked ..all good ..altinator all good
When I try start the car , it doesn’t seem to take any power from the dash board lights as you would expect ,,if the starter was sticking ,,it does shut radio and heater blowers off when in crank position ..when I release the key they come back on

There is no clicking from starter motor on crank
Battery good ..alternator good .. it does bump off

Oh there is also power getting to starter motor in crank position
Any one had this before
Thank you all

You need to check that there are two 12v connections to the Starter Motor.

1. 12v for the starter solenoid control (will give the clicking noise if working)
2. 12v direct to the Battery to turn the Starter Motor itself.

There is also a 10A fuse in the starter control (solenoid ) line.

If the starter is clicking the control circuit would seem ok, So check the Battery connection/wiring to the Starter Motor. Maybe a problem with the Starter Motor itself?

I had this problem and it was a small 10a fuse causing it.

I was installing a new stereo and the reverse camera stopped working, I also noticed the car would not start some time later.

Turns out I had blown the fuse for the reverse lights that powers the camera, changed it, camera work and also the car now started

Its the fuse box under the bonnet marked F14 its a small 10a fuse, a bit fiddly to get out.

Cannot believe this caused a non start issue!!!
