I installed one on a 1996 Maxima, and when I try to start the car and turn the ingition key all the way on the car does not even react everything just shuts off, it wont even crank !

can some one help me with my troubles?

Did you put the fuse back in? I just did the install today myself and it went very smoothly.

yes I'm put the fuse in, but it didn't even crank .

Thats really weird. I dont think that would have anything to do with the pump. If the starter isnt working there is an electrical problem. Is the battery hooked up right?

yes, i cheked everything and nothing , i dont know what to do any advice.

thanks.

You have to be missing something. Just sleep on it and see what you can find tommorow. Good luck.

thanks.

I'm cheked again today and it still doesn't work, please help me , anyone please, i need my car for tomorrow

thanks.

Where do you live?

Nevermind noticed that you live in canada. Not much i can do down here in DC. All i can say is have a friend look at it and maybe they can see something you missed. Also write down all the steps you took to installing the pump. Maybe i can help you there.

Thats basically what i just did and no problems. Do you know if your battery is fine? You could have another problem that is not related to the pump.

if it's not cranking at all, I think you did the fuel pump fine... it seems more like a starter that blew on ya, or you're not getting juice from the battery... Make sure the battery is attached correctly. It's not the fuel pump fuse because it would still crank without it.

did you check all your pump connections first? even if your pump was bad.. the car would still crank..

thanks for your help , i will chek it again.

the battery is fine because the radio is working, so i think it's starter.
So what do you think, should i buy new starter??? or maybe it's a fuse or relay ??? any ideas???? starter is so $$$$$$$$$


thanks.

???????

Tap the starter with a hammer and try again.

Be aware that hitting the starter too hard with a hammer may damage a good starter on the new cars these days... if you have to, start with small "taps" as Tony suggested.

Try this first though... Have someone watch the headlights (or if you see the lights against a wall) as you try to start the car... If it dims alot (or goes out) your battery is low... I assumed you already tried either jumpstarting the car or recharging the battery?

Here's a stupid question... are you sure you are fully depressing the clutch pedal (manual tranny) or have the tranny in PARK (auto)?

i have auto . thanks for advice guys

The problem is solved then?

MY 1995 MAXIMA WONT START, IT CRANKS BUT WONT RUN. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND RELAY STILL NOT WORKING
