My 1999 nissan altima is just shutting off, all power is being lost and i traced it down to the main 100amp fuse, i replaced the fuse and it is still hapening so i am assuming the problem is in the main fuse box, is this true? if so do you have any hints on how to open the fuse box so i can look inside?
