Here is a followup on my note above. Well, knock on wood, the solution to the third tow-in was easy; they had not programmed my usual key. I hadn't tried the key I had left with them for the repair. The dealership took responsibility, picked up my key from work, dropped of the car to me. Hopefully, this is the problem and we have smooth sailing from now on. They also advised that battery was overfull and lowered the water level- my hubby was wrong about the water being low.

My friend is a Honda Technician who has a 1992 Nissan Sentra which battery couldn’t keep the charge and wouldn't even power up the headlights or dome light inside the car; so he replaced the alternator, the starter, the battery and got a new battery cable connectors, ignition switch relay and fuse for the inside of the interior lights (these last two items he thinks also was causing an electrical short but may not be related to the problem) and the battery for this entire week has been perfectly charged.

Hello All,
 
I gshanmugam posted the problem in this forum, want to share the solution...
 
My problem was
All my meters goes off and on frequently. The OFF and ON time is 2 to 3 seconds. "The speedometer, fuel gauge, RPM gauge, engine temperature gauge stops working off and on."
 
Solution is...
I took my car to the cluster repair specialist and he solved it in just 30 to 45min, and said some electronic part went out due to heat. No earth wire loose, now loose wire harness, no other sensor issue...
 
It is just a clustor.
 
Please refer the cluster specialist website "http://www.piclusters.com" and the person name is "Jorge".
 
I had lot of web search for my problem, so want to share the solution.
 
Thanks,
Gshanmugam.

My daughter is unable to start her 2010 Nissan Sentra again. Last October had same problem and the starter wire was loose. I checked voltage on battery and it was 11.8 with the headlights on and 12V with lights off so it did not seem too bad. I tried jumping but still would not turn over the starter. I am suspecting the starter wire again. Will check it after the rain stops.
