Electronics Turn Off, Then On

Electronics Turn Off, Then On
'07 SL, 100,000 miles
Four times in the last three weeks, the electronics shut down and then immediately turned back on. The radio turns off and the dash instruments go blank. The car continues to run. Spoke to two Nissan dealer service shops and neither has heard of this. Any thoughts?

sounds like you might be either loosing your alternator, or your wires to the alternator might be bad. At first I was thinking the Camshaft Position Sensors, then I realized you said you lost your instruments and electronics. The CSP sensors would cause the car to stall out but still have all electronics working. I would have your alternator tested to see if it is good and the wires are good. You might have something loose that only happens when you hit small bumps or turn the wheel a certain direction. Pay close attention to what you and the car are doing when it happens again.

I don't think it is the battery, reason being is that the battery is only used to help start the car and used when the car is off. The alternator is what keeps the car electronics running after it has been started.

Amerikaner83 - Yes, the radio setting stay. When the electronics come back up, everything is immediately normal.
The battery tested very low yesterday. Sorry, I can't remember what the guy told me it was, but I recall the level was about 20% of normal. Battery is about 18 months old.
All - thanks for the input. It's helping!

Voltmeter readings on battery this morning:
Cold, engine off - 12.26
After 25 minute commute - 13.86, engine running. 12.64 engine off.
Clock stopped overnight and radio settings gone this morning.

No. Same turnover as always. I have noticed the keyless entry is getting sketchy, only on the doors, never turning the ignition.

Gotta buy used, but even then it's hard to find these with step lips. You'll probably also have to get them refinished.
