Ugh! Damn Thing Wont Start Again!!!!!!!!!!
Well, my car wont start again! I replaced the battery last week, had the starter replaced about 4 months ago and now it's going back in the shop!
I don't think it's the alternator because my battery would have drained first and I would have noticed the headlights dimming here and there for a while before it just decided to stop working, I think. I hope it's the starter again because then it will be covered by the shop that installed it, but DAMN IT!!!!
When I turn the key, NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!
OK, thanks for listening.....

If you get absolutely nothing, not even a click, then the problem is the ignition switch. Our cars are starting to get old and a lot of guys are having to replace it... including myself. I replaced mine just a few months ago when the same thing that happened to you happened to me. The car did start again after several attempts, but I replaced the switch anyways.
The part is $19 from everything nissan(or I believe $37 from local dealer) and is really easy to replace. All you need is a screw driver. The ingnition switch is located in the steering wheel column. All you have to do is remove the trim (which I KNOW you KNOW how to do because you did work on your gauges). The switch is located on the left side and is held in place by 2 screws and an electrical connector. It wont take you more than 30 min. to replace.
Good Luck!

i30ds: Hey thanks! Now I have some hope! 
I had the car towed to a local shop this morning and used the early bird drop off there. I will let them look at it and then see what hey say. I am having them look at some other things while it is there anyway.
Well, I may go ahead and buy this ignitian switch anyway and replace it even if this is not the problem now. I really appreciate your help with this and will let you know whats going on.

Update! It was the starter AGAIN! Anyway, it did not cost me anything since it was only about 3 months old and they were the ones who put it in last time. PHEW!
I still am going to order that part and install it. Can't hurt!
Thanks everyone!
