Yea, i got an electrical bug of some kind.. my clock resets to 1:00 everytime i start my car.. when the car is off, the LCD doesnt display, hwen i turn the car on, the LCD activates.. the radio doesnt work when off, nor on, and the windshield wipers turn on when i start the car, and wont turn off.... this happend all of the sudden today... anyone have any clue what the problem can be

check your radio fuse. also, check the radio ground or any other ground for items you may have used the radio's ACC line to power them.

Yeah the wiper thing is kinda weird, maybe during the crank the acc wire is being powered somehow, poss bad ign switch?

makes perfect sense. the TCU is on the same circuit as the audio fuse. it's a possibility that the TCU is going out causing all the other problems. And after reviewing the original post, i'm going to place money that the TCU is dead

[S13ChucKAT]

Nope, it wasnt the TCU, after searchign alot on here, i come to find it was a different fuse was blown.. i believe i touched a hot antenna wire with a ground.. anywho, i replaced it and everything is back to normal.

about the clock that sounds like a bad constant hot wire to me thats why mine never would stay on.The clock wire is red and white i think it also powers the interior light and the trunk light so hook it to a constant hot

i had a weird fuse contact issue. A previous owner had had an alarm installed, but pulled it when they sold the car. The power wire was squeezed into the fuse clip for the audio fuse, so when the alarm was pulled, the fuse clip was bent and not making proper contact with the fuse. I was able to bend the clip back in shape and everything was working fine.

this car my friend is alive, it has feelings and emotions just like real people. if you **** with it for too long, it will strike back, and all the time, if something goes wrong, it is your fault.

Yeah I hate it when people do that to connect an add on accessory, put those stupid clips into the fuse box. Mine had a Car phone installed that way and I had to do the same thing to get the gremlins to stop. It's so easy to make a more secure connection, with either Soldering and heatshrink, or T tap connectors made by 3M.

I agree fully.. My car is alive.. for absolutly NO reason it will not start sometimes.. or just die randomly.. like.. no power to anything.. not even the motor... and then the rest of the time it drives fine.. then sometimes it idles wayyy too low, and dies, others it is at 1100rpms.. blah, i love nissan!
