The Problem

I own a '97 Nissan Maxima GLE and recently I've gone to start the car and I get no starter no nothing when in start position there is no power being sent to the starter,

I: replaced the starter, I also have

I: replaced the inhibitor relay I've also

I: replaced the ignition relay behind dash pad next to fuse box on interior I: replace the battery as well, after that I spent some time

I: replaced any of the old fuses with new ones that have anything to do with the trans control module or start ignition. This will ensure that there isn't a random fuse causing a no start no crank.

So with All that out the way now when I go to start the vehicle I get the same exact result no power to starter no crank.

Is this the park neutral safety switch causing the inhibitor relay to short to ground?


Random Starts & Crank

ie: with a new battery in I decided to disconnect the starter from the circuit and give the starter 12 volts directly from the battery with the vehicle and neutral e-break up to prevent rollaways and gave the vehicle a crank and start.

ie: previously before the no start no crank I had been having symptoms of park neutral safety switch being intermittently receiving no signal in park and would have to put the vehicle in neutral and then back into park and then turn the key in the ignition to start and it would turn over

 

There are two relays to check: EGI - close to the battery, pump relay- close to the air fan, on right side. May be ignition switch contacts problem.
Check ground on the starter and battery (-).
Chech the crankshaft and camshart sensors contacts.

 

It appears that you’ve thrown a number of replacements at the issue already … why not then simply go ahead and replace the P/N switch?

This sounds quite like an Occam’s Razor situation to me.
