2010 maxima starting problem
I recently purchased a 2010 maxima for my daughter, I haven’t had any problems until now. The car shut off going down the road, upon investigation I found part of the belt to be broke. I had it towed home so I could replace it but now it won’t start. All the lights in the dash come on when I push the start button but it won’t engage the starter. Any ideas on what I’m missing? All the fuses are good, brake switch good, steering lock good. I need help

Did you check both battery terminals? Are they corroded ? check that Neg cable.. NIssan has a history of the ground side rotting... Make sure battery is good and the connections are tight and not corroded first.

What is the voltage at the battery? Do you have a Multimeter? Seems odd, just replacing a drive belt, would cause the car not to fire....

Well.. without looking at the car.. its hard to really properly diagnose the issue... Might sound like a odd question.. is the car is park? lol.. Sorry have to ask....

Sounds like the steering lock module failure. Nissan has an open recall for 2009/10 to pull this thing out.

yeah I put it neutral and tried to start it. It sounds like a relay or the starter clicks a few times then the fans come on

I suppose the recall was done on it because the lock has been removed

Check for a short. The belt whipping around may have exposed some wires.

The box is not to be removed.
