2001 - Won't Start - No Power - Clicking Sound Under Dash
Hi everyone. I'm at a loss and can't seem to find my situation in prior threads. Car is 2001 Nissan Maxima GLE. Here's my problem:
Car won't start, no power at all, battery is fine. When key is out of ignition, I'm hearing a loud clicking sound coming out of a white box under my dash to the left of the center console, but to the right of the flasher relay. I've attached a pic.
When I put the key in the ignition, clicking sound continues. When I turn key to accessory, clicking sound becomes muffled/muted but is still there. When I turn the key to start, the clicking sound goes away completely, but the car won't start.
Thanks for any and all help!!

The box in the photo is called the SECU, short for Smart Entrance Control Unit. It controls all the electronics that are not engine related, such as alarm, windows, door locks, stuff like that.
It is not normal for the SECU to be clicking, nor does that happen very often. I don't know what causes that. Check the fuses under the hood by the battery, especially the 40 amp ones.
When you say there is no power, exactly what do you mean? Can you turn the headlights on? Do the lights in the dash come on when you turn the key on? What about the radio? Do the power windows work? etc, etc, etc.
