Nissan Primera P12 fuse failure

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi I have a problem with my P12 Primera

I don't know why but there's a tiny 10AMP fuse that randomly fuses. It's called "IGN Electronic Parts" and it's in the fuse box under the steering wheel, the 2nd fuse starting from the right at the top.

When the fuse fails car accesories like electric windows or turn lights stop working but the worse is that the radiator fans stop working too and then the engine overheats (engine continues to work like nothing happen, it just overheats). When the fuse fails the red light with the car and a key lights up and after a while the "check engine" light shows up with a message on the computer. If i stop the car it won't engage until I replace the fuse, which fixes the problem until it fails again...

This is completly random I don't know what causes this. I took a look on the engine bay and theres a sensor at the right side of the engine head with the cable and connectors on bad condition. Could be this what causes the fuse to fail?

Can get some advice please about what could be doing this? Thank you.

	I'm pretty sure hat is fuse number 10, as you have already found out it runs a whole host of things, I did not think it ran the radiator cooling fans. Regardless of which fuse it is, it is detecting an overload on one of its many circuits, the area you talk about could well be the issue, the only way to know is by testing the various circuit to find a short. Unless you know what you are doing I would suggest this is one for an auto-electrician
