Your Nissan engine gives it the power required to perform, but where does the engine's power come from? When you turn the key in the ignition, chemical energy within the battery sparks the rest of the system to life. Without a working, properly installed Nissan battery, no amount of gasoline can keep your hatchback, CUV, or pick up truck performing as it was designed to.
If you're noticing that your Nissan engine is slow to start or that its electrical accessories aren't working like they used to, you may think there's something wrong with the battery. But in many situations, the wear and tear of other electrical components may be to blame — particularly if you recently cleaned or replaced your Nissan battery.
If this sounds like something you're experiencing, take a closer look at your Nissan battery assembly, including the battery tray, support rods, and the hold-down brace.
With age, mileage, and contact with the elements, some of these parts may rust or warp. A wobbly or faulty Battery Hold Down Frame may allow your battery to shift, 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 inspect the mounting kit for signs of corrosion. If the battery is clean and charged, double check that the negative and positive cables are affixed to the right battery posts. All in good order? Tug at the battery case gently to see if it jiggles with pressure. If it moves with a slight pull, re-securing the bolts and installing a new, authentic Nissan Battery Hold Down Frame might fix the issue.
To install a new hold down frame, start with your Nissan powered off, cooled down, and parked in a low-traffic and flat surface. Pop the hood like you did when inspecting the battery. Use a socket wrench or similar alternative to undo the nuts securing the old Battery Hold Down Frame, and if necessary, set them aside for reuse. Carefully take off the old hold down frame and secure the new Battery Hold Down Frame in its place, making sure all the bolt holes line up with the corresponding support rods. Once everything's aligned, secure the frame using the bolts or nuts, being mindful of not tightening them too much or too little. Like always, refer to your Nissan owner's manual or visit your nearest authorized service center for information specific to your unique model and trim!
