So I haven't been having any problems lately, but yesterday when I took the Z, my radio and dashboard will randomly shut on/off (flicker) occasionally. I only have 48k miles, and I think it is a bit soon for my alternator to start failing on me.. Anyone else encounter this problem on their Z? Could It possibly just be a bad drive belt?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Are you the original owner of the car or did you buy somebody's problem??

 

I bought it off someone else, but I've had the car for about a year now.. and it is just now having this symptom.

 

Maybe you have some loose electrical connections, or possibly the alternator is going out. Either way you can get you alternator tested for free, this of course needs to be out of the car, usually. Good luck & find a shop that you can trust.

 

how does a "dashboard" flicker on and off?

 

a. Lose connection.
b. Power line intermittently touching a ground.
c. Faulty fuse. Improperly installed fuse.

 

Yeah.. That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the advice.

It is more than assumable what I am referring to..
B and C I think should be good, but I'll have to check out A, thanks for the suggestion.

 

im saying that I have never seen your symptom described as dashboard flickering... and an altenator going out you would have the battery light on your cluster on... I work at mossy and I have never seen an elctrical problem that wasnt caused by someone else... or bad grounds... grounds are the worst on nissans!!!
