Seeking Troubleshooting Advice for Possible Overvoltage Issues in 2019 Nissan Cima Petrol Model

Dim or flickering lights

Weak battery when starting the engine

Hey folks, I'm having a bit of a problem with my 2019 Nissan Cima, a petrol engine model. Noticed some odd signs like a weak battery during engine start, as well as dimming and flickering lights. From what I understand, there might be an issue of overvoltage, but I'm not 100% sure. Have any of you experienced something similar? If yes, how did you narrow down the issue and what did your mechanic do to fix it? Would be great to hear your troubleshooting experience and how you solved it. Thanks a ton in advance!

Hey there! I'm not a car expert, but I've faced a semi-identical issue with my 2017 Nissan Maxima. I'd say I have some experience dealing with car issues like yours. For me, it all went down with my workshop buds. We decided the best step was to get a complete battery test done, and yep, you guessed right, it turned out the battery was on its last leg. Ended up paying around 290 Euro to replace the defective battery, but at least those weird signs disappeared afterward. Could you tell me more about your car's specs and symptoms? That might help me give you a more specific piece of advice. Remember, you're never alone in this, and there's no problem that can't be fixed. Keep us posted on how things work out!

Hey there, thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear that you managed to fix your issue. My Nissan Cima has clocked 34372 KM until now. It was last serviced less than 2 months ago. I've been noticing the problem for over a week now. Any kind of experience or guidance you guys can provide is greatly appreciated. I'll keep you updated about any developments. Cheers!

Hey, no problem at all! We're all in this together. Considering your car's mileage and age, it's a bit surprising to hear about these issues. But, sometimes, these unexpected things happen. Since the problem has been sticking around for a week now, I'd say don't wait it out any longer. My guess is it could be something to do with the battery, similar to what I dealt with my Maxima. However, the flickering lights you mentioned also hint towards an alternator issue. I'd say, get your battery and alternator checked pronto, preferably by a professional. They can do a complete system checkup and pinpoint the problem exactly. Meanwhile, be extra careful while driving, especially during night time because, if it's an electrical issue, it might affect other functions as well. Please update us whatever happens next, and stay safe out there on the road. Cheers!

Much appreciated! Your advice is super helpful. I'm booking an appointment with my mechanic first thing tomorrow. I'll get it checked out completely - especially the battery and the alternator, as you explained. If it does turn out to be an unexpected battery or alternator issue, well... that's life I guess! I'll update you guys once I know more about what's happening. Until then, safe driving everyone. Cheers!
