Help! Car Won't Start
Just went out to start the maxima 10 mins. after driving it and it would not start up I turn the key and I get power but I turn to 'start' and absolutely nothing happens. I don't know what to do. Here are my trouble codes:
0403(Throttle Position Sensor), 0304(Knock Sensor), 0305(EGRTS), 0401(IATS) |
Dead battery? :gotme:
|
alternator?
|
its the ignition switch.. if u turn the key and absolutely nothing happens... jiggle it when you are trying to start it...
then check ur batter |
I would think its alternator
|
Like f550 said, it is either the ignition switch (part inside the column cover) or possibly the throw-out solenoid on the starter motor.
|
It could be various different things. If you are getting nothing when you start up it could be:
-Dead battery -Ignition switch -starter | v -Check the battery, try a jump - try tapping the starter while cranking - check the ignition switch. A situation like this has happened to a friend, I tapped the starter while he was cranking fired up. The Gear is the starter could be stuck and thus not moving at all. |
If auto try putting it in Neutral and starting.
|
Try to tap the starter with a hammer (don’t hit it with full force just tap!) and if it starts then you need to disassemble and repack the starter. It only cost a few bucks for gear grease. Maxima has bad gear grease in the starter motor. Don’t waste your money on any parts before trying out this method.
