Complete electrical failure on Nissan Note

    So I have this 07 Nissan Note (petrol engine) parked up for the weekend. I come out this morning to go to work and nothing electrical works.

    So the obvious first step is to try a jump start.
    Absolutely no response. Nothing (no interior lights, no dashboard lights, no response from the central locking, and certainly nothing from the starter motor).
    So I leave the jump leads attached for 15 minutes, with the other car running. Still absolutely nothing working.
    Next step is to look at the fuses. I'm no expert but the fuses in the engine bay look to be intact, and the fuses in the cabin for the electronics systems are fine.

    Can anyone suggest next steps? I'm probably going to buy a new battery just to see if that will work. The existing battery is the original, so it is five years old.

    Can anyone suggest any other diagnostics?

    Thanks...

    i would imagine its your main fuse..i am not familiar with the note so try following your positive lead from the battery back to the fuse box watching for a fuse either in the box or before it

    Thanks for that Technoprisoner. The internet tells me that the main fuse in the note is not trivial to replace. It is screwed in with screws that are inaccessible until the fusebox itself is lifted from its seat.
    I think it is time to contribute a small stimulus to the local economy ... and get someone more proficient than myself to look at it.

    The Micra's can suffer a failure of the positive battery connection. There is a fusable link in a plastic housing that can fail. The Note may well be the same.

    It shares some of its chassis parts with the modus, but its a Nissan designed platform and its built in Nissans factories.

    Turns out it was as simple as a dead battery.

    I have a dodgy sensor on the hatchback which reads the door as being open when it is closed. That controls the interior light. The interior light was on all weekend and drained the battery.

    Many thanks to WS Motors in Enfield for agreeing to come out to me this morning. Sorry for putting you out of your way for nothing.

    Make sure you take the bulb out of your interior light so...
