Check battery power should be round 12volts if ok, need to check if you have power to stater when you turn the key ( ie test light on starter wire ) if ok possily of a worn out starter, remove starter, test starter, if starter is ok, need to see if you can turn the engine over buy hand
I am facing the same exact problem with my Nissan Altima 2000. Did you find the solution?
Does your horn actually work?? OR you might have dis-engaged the horn from working from your remote.....see your manual on how to engage it!
This switch is designed to be sure that the car won't be moved by the starter motor. It requires that the car be in neutral, park, or have the clutch depressed before the starter motor will engage.
The positive battery cable connects directly to the starter. Depending on what type of vehicle it is, the solenoid is either on the starter or on the inner fender. Power for the solenoid comes from the ignition switch. You can run a wire to the solenoid to cause the starter to engage.
The neutral safety switch keeps the starter from engaging when the transmission is in any gear EXCEPT park or neutral. A faulty switch would either allow the starter to engage any time or not allow the starter to engage at any time.
Replace the starter
Re-check the routing of the spark plug wires to the distributor cap. or you can check if it has immoblizer in the car or any sort of after market remote starter which has built in starter kill. I think in 1994 they didn't come with immobilizers, are you able to engage the starter if yes then check your firing order, if no then check your neutral safety switch it might be the issue. Nissan is prone to poor ground as well so check ground cable to the engine itself that could be loose or faulty. Best of luck. Binder Oak Lake
It depends on the car as it can be located on either side of the engines in different makes. The starter motor can be found lower on the back side of the engine where the engine and transmission meet. The starter needs to engage the flywheel which is where the transmission mounts.
There is not really much to troubleshoot. Either it works or it does not. If the bendix slips and does not engage then you have to replace the starter. The 3rd bolt is very difficult to reach.
same problem, did you ever find the solution?
The starter drive has broken, replace starter.
If the starter spins but won't engage, then the Bendix is not engaging the flywheel. Remove the starter and test to see if the Bendix thrusts out, and check to see that the flywheel does not have chipped teeth.
