That's amazing that it stumped the guru's though.
Just a simple relay switch.
Shame about this happening on a vacation though!
Thanks for letting us know.
Stumpy, you made it home!
That sux about your trip mate, sorry to hear but also glad is wasn't major and you didnt have to pay big bucks, it sounded serious.
Glad it all worked out mate.
Thank god it wasn't something expensive. Well, I guess it ruined your holiday so that is kind of expensive. :/
Glad your back on the road. Got any pics of your beast!?![]()
Some of those 'simple' faults can take a lot of finding.

I worked in an Auto Transmission Shop in Perth quite a few years ago. Heard a story about a couple of very experienced Transmission Mechanics couldn't work out why the car wouldn't move after replacing the Automatic Transmission. Turns out they missed one vital part, the tailshaft.

It's unfortunate it happened on your holiday stumpy, but parts fail new and always will. Just a pity it took so long to find.
Hope you can now enjoy the new ride without any dramas mate.

I bought a brand new 3.0 Diesel in jan 2010 it doesn't like to start, it has flat spots when overtaking and Nissan have had the top off 3 times now after replacing the common rail for another new one the dealer has damaged the valves and god knows what else as they say the timing belt "slipped" hhhmmm I smell bull dust I reckon. Any way we can only hope they have fixed the problem as i need my car for work and I have clocked up 15000 kms on their loan cars so far. Nissan the manufacturer do not care one bit they reluctantly wanted to give me $50 a day towards renting a 4WD with unlimited Kms what a joke and when I told guy at Nissan he said it was my fault for having a job were I need to travel into the bush hundreds of Kilometres from the city. As I pointed out thats why I bought a new car Nissan Australia doesn't want to take responsibility..........good luck
