Nissan maxima 4th gen 1998
Hey everyone, I need some advice on my 4th gen Nissan Maxima 1998. The car was working fine & starting up without any issues. It slowly started losing power and was taking a while to turn over during cranking. I recently went on vacation for a month, away from my car. Upon returning , as I tried starting it up, it wouldn't crank or deliver any sound when the key was being turned in the ignition. I thought it was the battery and I tried jumping it. I even made sure all the leads were connected and tight. However, my car still isn't responding, so I need some additional assistance.

Sounds like you need to do some poking and prodding with a multimeter.
Based on what you've stated it still sounds like the battery may be the culprit.
However, without further testing one can't be sure.
- battery voltage?
- alternator output?
- voltage drop both (+) and (-) sides?
- charge cable continuity?

I am not a mechanic but this is what I did, checked that the starter was receiving power, proceeded to take it out and try out of the car.
It didn't work, replaced it and car starts easily now.
