Your Nissan engine supplies the energy required for performance, but what powers the combustion engine in the first place? When you push the “start” button, chemical energy stored inside the battery sparks the rest of the system to life. Without a properly functioning Nissan battery, no amount of gasoline can keep your hatchback, minivan, or truck performing as designed.
If you're noticing that your Nissan engine is starting relatively slowly or that its electrical accessories aren't working like they used to, you may suspect there's a problem with the battery itself. But in many situations, damage of other electrical parts may be responsible — especially if you cleaned or replaced your Nissan battery recently.
If this situation sounds familiar to you, you may want to inspect your battery mount assembly, which includes the battery tray, support rods, and Battery Hold Down Frame.
With time, mileage, and exposure to the elements, some of these components may corrode or warp. A damaged or loose Battery Hold Down Frame may allow your battery to slide in and out of position, negatively impacting its lifespan or disconnecting the wires that transfer the power to your vehicle.
Get to the bottom of the problem by parking on a flat surface and giving the engine time to cool down. Next, use a voltmeter to test the battery's voltage and check the battery assembly area for signs of corrosion. If the battery is clean and charged, verify that the negative and positive cables are affixed to the right battery posts. All good? Tug at the battery case gently to see if it jiggles with pressure. If it moves, re-tightening the bolts and installing a new, genuine Nissan Battery Hold Down Frame could help!
To install a new hold down frame, start with your Nissan off, a cold engine, and parked safely on a flat surface. Pop the hood like you did when inspecting the battery. Use a socket ratchet or similar tool to unscrew the nuts keeping your old Battery Hold Down Frame in place, and if necessary, set them aside for reuse. Gently remove the old hold down strap and replace it with your new Nissan Battery Hold Down Frame, making sure all holes line up with the corresponding support rods. Once everything is lined up, fasten the part with the hex nuts or bolts you removed previously, taking care not to over- or under-tighten them. Like always, refer to your Nissan owner's manual or visit an authorized service center near you for model-specific instructions and details.
