- Connects battery to your electronics
- Vehicle cannot work without it
- Replace when damaged or worn
The Battery Cable in your Nissan is an important part of your vehicle that powers your electronics system by connecting it to the battery. Without it, you won't be able to start your Nissan or use electronics like the accessory power, radio, and lights. Like your battery, the Battery Cable weakens as the years pass because of wear and corrosion. The cable generally lasts longer than your battery, though, and you can usually get quite a few miles out of yours. If your Battery Cable is damaged, a replacement is necessary. You normally can't repair the Battery Cable.
Battery Cable problems are commonly misdiagnosed as a dead battery. Signs of a worn Battery Cable include issues starting your Nissan, a corroded battery, and dim lights. When you visually inspect your Battery Cable, you might not be able to see fraying or tearing.
One way to figure out if your problem is with the cable or the battery itself is by trying to jumpstart your Nissan. If the jumpstart works, you likely have a dead battery. If the jumpstart doesn't work, the issue is likely with your Nissan Battery Cable. With the necessary tools, exchanging the Battery Cable with a new one can be done at home, but you also have the option to take your vehicle to an authorized service center and have certified technicians handle the replacement.
Without a working Battery Cable, your Nissan can't perform. Ordering genuine Nissan parts helps make sure you get the right product.
