Max won't start, buzzing sound
Sadly my 1996 Maxima won't start. I've checked the battery and its good, the engine turns but it just won't start. Also, I've noticed that before I start the car but with the key turned, there's a strange buzzing sound coming from somewhere near the battery. Has anyone had this problem? If so, what could the problem be? Thanks!

Sounds like the starter spins, but the selenoid does not kick in. Easy repaired. Remove the starter, then check the operation of the selenoid. This part can be replaced separately from the starter. Wait, try relubing it. Detail procedures at www.motorvate.ca

check this thread: its more specific about the selonoid operation:

you can remove the starter, the battery, and test the starter/solenoid operation on a bench. (Cramping the starter in a vise is recommended)

Thanks for the help everyone! Does anyone have a detailed diagram of the wiring that is going to the starter? I am checking for loose wiring before I go ahead and pull out the starter, hopefully its a loose or bad wire, saving me a lot of time in the freezing weather.

I found something weird while under the car

It sounds like you have a bad ground.
Clean your ground wire junctions with sand paper and break cleaner.
The magnet in the transmission is a permanent magnet. (Regular magnet. Not an electromagnet. It would not be the cause of your problem. Good exploratory work.
