not start,, starter? battery? etc?
I have the 1997 Maxima SE auto with 110k miles.
It was cold this morning, I was trying to drive the maxi to go work, but maxi didn't started.
I turned the key, only hear one "da" sound then nothing. interior lights and lights on dash board didn't dim down at all while I turn the key. Didn't hear any crank from the starter at all. everything seems normal.
it felt like starting a stick shift vehicle but didn't step on the clutch. (mine is auto)
I pulled the key out then putted it and turn, for few times. The car started it.
after work today, I drove it home, the maxi started right away.
is it the battery connector? ignition swtich? starter?
should I go fix something before I sit for hours wait help?
please give me some advices.

if it's battery issue, I didn't see the lights dim down while I turn the key, only feel like starting a stick shift without step on the clutch.

i see it all the time at work, lights etc work fine on the vehicle but when you turn the key nothing happens just like a bad starter. usually the positive battery cable is loose

I had a very similar problem the other day. When you turn the key, try to give the car gas and see if it will start and run. Ended my IACV was stuck closed/open (took it apart and cleaned it, now she runs fine)
