Bad battery cable? Bad connection at the battery or alternator? Bad ground
maybe?

Subject: DML: OFF-TOPIC: Nissan Altima '97 wont start -but accessories work.
[HELP!]
My wife Nissan Altima '97 went dead on the highway while driving. She had
to crank the
steering wheel just to get the car to pull over. It had been raining a bit
that day.
But even after a few days of "drying out", the car still wont start
anymore.
Here's what I can see.
All fuses are fine. I pulled them all.
All relays seem ok. ( I didn't notice any burnt out smell coming from
them. I did
not, however, measure with meter. )
I checked the wiring harness to steering column. Nothing.
Accessories that _don't_ involve turning the key like dome lamp,
headlights, power
locks, and 4-way flashers are WORKING!!
Accessories that require the key in ACC position do not work. Example:
radio, turn
signals, power mirrors, power windows, dash panel <--- the whole dash
panel is dead.
nothing lights up at all in any of the key positions.
Battery has good voltage. 13.7
Can anyone give me an idea of what happened? Is this the ignition switch
or something
else? Is there a fusible link that burned out?
