Hello. I have a 2015 Juke Tekna (diesel with auto start/stop) with some electrical issues that are ..odd. All have been happening for well over a year and nobody can find the problem.

The issues are;

Radio unit loses all power then comes back on. It happens randomly and can be off anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 minutes. It often comes back on if I slow down and put the clutch in to change gear.

The auto start stop light randomly flashes green when driving.

The battery light blinks red on occasion when stationary / idling at lights.

Headlights are noticeably dimming/brightening like a pulse when driving, especially when the radio unit is messing around.

Key battery low warning light comes on often even if it has a new battery in.

The car drives fine. It's had a software update from Nissan, they couldn't find any other issues.

My local garage has looked at it multiple times and cannot locate a problem.

It's had 2 new batteries in the last 2 years and the alternator has been checked when I requested it, it was fine.

I'm out of ideas, my local garage is out of ideas, it's more annoying than anything especially the radio/nav being unusable a lot of the time.

Anyone experienced any of this before and found a solution?

this really sounds like an earthing issue or something has been chewing on wiring. Do you live in the countryside?

I had rats chew through some wiring earlier in the year, the car wouldn't start, the garage repaired the damage and couldn't find any others that were chewed. The radio going off was happening before that though.

thats where i would look again, maybe rats had a nibble before, not an easy task
