January 18th, 2010 02:37 PM #1not too sure if electrical talaga sya. here's the story:
i have a 98 sentra manual and like so many others out there, we were devastated by ondoy. so pinagawa ko yung sentra sa mga certified mechanics. after several months okay na sya lahat. then one day, di na sya nagstart.
sabi ng isang mechanic pacheck ko daw electrical. so ginawa ko muna, pinalinis ko starter, buy new battery, then went to Rey electrical sa marikina
sabi nila grounded daw alternator kaya nadiskarga battery. fine. pinalitan nila alternator and chinarge battery.
car was running fine for two weeks then suddenly ayaw na ulit magstart. binalik ko sa rey and they found out na mali daw pagkakainstall ng radio (bought from banawe after ondoy). di ko na pinacharge yung battery thinking matatraffic naman ako pauwi, machacharge na sya dun. and besides if fixed na yung electrical leak, there shouldn't be a problem anymore.
that was a week ago. this morning, di na sya ulit magstart. same sounds, diskargado nanaman battery...
considering rey is already a reputable electrical shop, ano pa ba dapat kong gawin sa oto ko? meron pa kayang ground na kumakain ng charge ng battery ko? sa dalawang beses na pumunta ako ng rey sabi nila wala na daw silang nakita ground and yet nadidiskargahan ako almost every week...
help naman please

Is your car fuel injected or carburated type? Better check the alternator thoroughly using battery/ alternator tester and also the relays for it might be grounded/ not functioning. Then check the wire harness for any signs of moisture, corossion. The problem with most Sentras is the alternator mostly with IC regulator, rectifier diode. I encounterd difficulty in sourcing these parts since most auto supply carrying Nissan don't stock on these items. What I usually do is to replace the whole alternator with good surplus.

January 19th, 2010 05:23 PM #3hi sir, thanks for replying but that's what they did na: they changed the whole alternator (surplus) sa rey's electrical.
i went there yesterday and sabi nila wala daw ground pero nakita nila na loose daw yung ground ng starter. inayos nila and so far so good na sya pero hindi pa rin ako humihinga ng maluwag at feeling ko di pa rin sya ayos na ayos.
