Nothing bike related so sorry

Apparently the keyless entry sometimes locks and unlocks the boot repeatedly until the battery dies.

Cheers guys ... that's what I thought too about it (possibly  being an ECU related thing). Monitoring it overnight as soon as I can and will plot discharge with time tomorrow.

Again sorry for hijacking thread Mick but my daughter is in East Yorks at the 'mo but she lives in Leeds so I need to sort out ASAP (within a week). Have not yet taken it to get fault code checked out

Our Berlingo had this issue when we bought it, I found it had a relay for charging a caravan battery added at some point, the work of someone who' left it really very neat so it looke like a factory or pro install, but the relay was constantly kicking in and out. It killed the fairly new Yuasa battery the car came with I reacon, lasted the summer but needed the odd jumpstart. Much better starting with a replacement battery, though the old one tested out fine every time.

AshimotoK0:
GOT this off the Internet .. did notice that boot opening is somewhat intermittent, so another thing to investigate !

Nissan_Micra_Bppt_wont_open

Note: this solution may work for other makes and models of car (e.g. Nissan Primera). Please call me if you want to see if it might be suitable.

My wife purchased a second-hand 2006 Micra 1.2 S in 2011. About 6 months after, she started experiencing the common fault of the boot not opening when the switch is pressed but worse still, the boot opening when the car was in motion.

This problem has been getting worse to a point were the boot was practically unusable Being an electronics engineer, I felt it was my duty to sort this problem out, particularly after finding out the price Nissan where charging for a new switch (and being of the same poor quality).

Reported problems (here's a current list of secondary problems people have experienced due to the switch fault):

Another common problem that has been reported is the battery being drained due to the faulty switch contacts being stuck active (closed). Therefore, over period of time draining the battery (same as leaving the lights on)

* A continuous beeping sound when the engine is turned ON

The replacement switch used is an IP67 rated push-button switch (does not allow ingress of dust or water down to 1m depth - click here for more info). This switch is used within one of our high-end systems (3D150CNT), that we manufacture and this was found to be an ideal replacement.

A new switch mounting plate was produced to fit in to the existing recess. The new switch plate assembly was then sealed in to place to ensure no ingress of water. See images below

Well I sorted my problem I don't know why I was being so dim about it I just pushed the seal in with the drive shaft so it set it at the right depth.
Ash how are you getting on with the Micra.

Mick
