For some reason, I had a hard time understanding what exactly this lady was trying to tell me, but after talking with her for a few minutes, I understood she was saying the battery kept draining and that's why the engine isn't starting. I suspect there is a simple battery draw causing this problem. It is possible that the battery draw is intermittent, which is making it harder to diagnose.

De-pinning the smart charging wire is part of the answer. The dealer has to change the programming so that the battery doesn't drain while sitting. This is a known factory defect. Dealer will charge about $165 to reprogram system and $15 to de-pin the smart charging wire if you want them to do it. Any Nissan dealer will know exactly what you're talking about if you ask them.
Good job Sir😌
Thank you, my friend!
Its the smart alternator. My 2018 was having exact same issue. Unplugged that thing and problem solved
Good to hear it! Yeah sometimes they do that..
My 2017 Armada has this issue.
Is this video (linked) the same thing to unplug?
Mine is at the mechanic now.
Definitely one of the Armada mysteries for this specific model.
Random times the battery will be drained and not start. No specific pattern. Maybe between errands maybe first thing in the morning. If unplugging this thing from the video doesn’t hurt the function of the car and fix the problem I may try it…but if it’s functional and could cause other issues I don’t want to unplug it. This issue has been an elusive one.
Hello and thank you for the comment my friend. Yes, unfortunately electrical problems can be difficult to diagnose and fix at times. However, any qualified mechanic should be able to trace down the root cause and determine what is causing the battery to drain. This is done by doing a simple battery draw test.
