I went to turn on my car today and it wouldn't start. Everything would turn on (the radio, subwoofer, lights, etc), but the engine wouldnt start, it wouldnt even crank. I'm not sure why its doing this, but does anyone have any ideas or know why?

 

Starter? - common problem
Ignition switch? - seen a few go bad on here
Battery? - naaa because your accessories work

 

im thinking its a starter. have you gone through a large puddle lately?

 

WillMax95, I am having the same problem on my 95. I took it to the dealer twice and they can't fix it. I read on www.samscars.com/mage9.html about an intremittent Nissan. It sounds like the problem is corrosion on the positive battery cable, not on the main cable that goes to the starter, but look for corrosion under the red colored plastic cover that goes over the two smaller wires that go to the starter soleniod. That is why your car still has power, but will not crank over. If that link does not work, just go to www.samscars.com and lokk for the intermittent Nissan article.

 

i have that....its my ignition which....nice little anti theft device...only 3 people can start my car, me, my friend who had max, and the guy he sold his max to

you please keep me posted with your car

Ok well my two cents are if either it's your starter(most likely) Or your battery connectors they are corroded. I heard you can take warm water and baking soda to clean them off. Then reconnect to the battery tightly.
