'03 Maxima replacing headlight assembly, now car won't turn
Hello, I was replacing my headlight assembly on I turned on the car and it started fine. Then I turned the lights on and the brights on and it started to make a weird noise. So I turned the car off. Now it won't turn over when I start it. The battery is not dead and I checked the fuses on of the headlights and they did not seem blown. all the lights come up on the dashboard when i try starting the car. it seems to crank fine but it does not catch. Also the security light does not stay on. Any suggestions? I read a similar thread about this but it did not get resolved.

Does the car start when you remove/disconnect the lights you just installed? It would be help to know the answer .... Edit: I now notice you did that.
Check all your fuses again. In particular, fuse #54, $55, #68, and #69 in your Fusible Link Box (by the battery). Also, are you sure you connected the lights properly?

One more thing: Get yourself a copy of the FSM from http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Maxima/2003/. You'll need at least the "EL" and "SC" sections, but download them all. Page SC-10 of the FSM describes the conditions required for the starter to engage.
