Nissan Dualis J10 (2007-2014) Questions & Answers

cable jammed behind the switch common problem with Qashqai & Xtrails

faulty a/c relay change it

I already change the fuse box(the relay is build in the fuse box) i buy a new one but it still won't come on

Dirty fuel, incorrect fuel, Blown fuse, Loose fuse, Faulty relay, faulty ECU. You need to get it diagnosed & get a fault code. Immoblizer,/alarm, faulty key, could be anything

have you had the rear wheel bearings checked what you describe sounds like worn rear wheel bearings low pitched drone, shudder in the steering wheel, and whole car & noise getting louder are typically signs of worn rear wheel bearings. Rear wheel bearings wearing out is a common problem with the Dualis they all did it. Find yourself another mechanic & get him the check the rear wheel bearings

worn Rear wheel bearings make the exact sound as you described the car will shudder & the noise will get louder it sounds. Suggest you find another mechanic, Dont use the mechanics at the car dealerships, kmart (my car) NRMA motor serve, ultra tune, or lube mobile, Find a local independent mechanic.

There was a lot problems with the dualis rear wheel bearings & drive shaft bearings Nissan knew about it but did nothing & now the owners are stuck with the problem. do a google search & it may give you some idea how to solve the problem, There is a solution you have to find a mechanic who knows what he is doing, Nissan ended production of the Dualis in 2014 for that reason & re badge them as Quasquai

maybe needs a service

If the engine light is staying on it is telling you the car needs a service

I'm haveing car issues the exact same problem 2007 model pls help

an auto electrician can help you diagnose

It could be anything from a faulty fuel sensor, dirty air filter, faulty battery, faulty spark plugs, faulty coils dirty fuel. take it to a mechanic & get it diagnosed

My Nissan is a 2016 Qashqai and has a timing chain,I suggest you Google re your Dualis as I would imagine it has a similar motor to mine.

Thanks very much, I guess a chain doesnt have to be replaced.

The service center probably did not use the OBD tool to clear the "fault" (is not a fault, just set to show that message every X km)
To correct this you could either take it back to the service center and ask them to clear the "fault" or you can buy and OBD tool to suit your car from Supercheap or Repco etc. and do it yourself if you feel confident doing such things.

Thanks mate

can you change it manually in the computer settings i can do it that way in an xtrail

Typically this will depend on the brand and type of belt installed and driving conditions however as a rule of thumb if the belt appears in good condition and isn't squealing then it should be fine, if the belt does squeal somewhat you could see if there is room left on the adjuster, some cars theses days even have a min/max limit for belt stretch marked on this adjuster.

I would guess that the fan belt will most likely still be serviceable for many years to come as they only really fail for lack of maintenance (slipping and burning out, or falling off onto the road way due to being too loose)

100,00kms

After some discussion with my partner, we too have discovered this issue, it does not appear to effect the operation of the car and all the fuses I can find are in good working order, however I was unable to confirm the operation of a mystery relay.. I think this was more my testing method rather than a faulty relay (and the input/output of that relay should be fused anyway) I would suggest that if it were a fuse issue the shift lights would share a fuse with dash lighting or center console objects like USB port, CD player etc.

Another common issue could be grounding, that is tracing the negative side of the circuit back to the frame of the car and making sure it has a good firm contact with no corrosion or gunk potentially insulating it. This could be very tricky however. Wiring may likely tie into a "common earth" on the loom that is attached to the frame in a nearly impossible to access location, there may be a break.. many things..
if you are not comfortable spending the time or buying the tooling to troubleshoot (A cheap multi meter) it could get very expensive for an auto electrician to chase down.

This is difficult to diagnose without seeing the car but I will do my best.

I would suggest checking all the wiring harness connections in any area you worked on, something may be unplugged causing the computer to throw a fault, preventing the car from being put into gear to avoid potential damage.. if you have and OBD tool ($20-$30 from Supercheap or similar) you could check for any computer faults, this would help narrow things down.
An OBD tool would be a good idea anyway to allow you to clear the "Service Now" notification on the dash if you are doing your own services.

Are you attempting to reset the "drivers" clock in the gauge cluster or the center console clock on the GPS/Reversing camera? as they are both set independently of one another (I am guessing the center console system was an afterthought)
