Test it by finding the cylinoid, using something metalscrew driver, etc. and cross it on the hot and negative posts of the cylinoid, if the car starts the cyliniod is bad,if it does nothing, the starter is bad or a wire is loose..NOTE : If car is manual, (5 or 6 speed) make SURE car is in neutral and the parking (emergency) brake is ON !! or else the car migh "jump" "go" and run over you while doing this...
If the battery is good and the starter is good, then you must have a wire disconnected somewhere.
Sometimes, brand new batteries need to be charged for a while before they have the power to engage the solenoid/starter properly. The battery may have enough jucie to light up the headlights and run the stereo, but not to crank the engine.
The alternator generates electricity, so it's not part of the starting system, which uses the stored electricity in the battery. If the lights work, the battery must be pretty well ok. The starter might be stuck, or it might have failed.
Yes, the clicking is the starter, but there's probably nothing wrong with it. Your battery doesn't have enough juice to turn the starter motor (draws lots of current), but still has enough to turn on the lights and accessories. Try jump starting it or trickle charge the battery.
If it will not turn over you have an electrical problem. Start by removing the battery cables and cleaning the cables and battery posts. If that does not solve the problem, then put a charger on the battery and let it fully charge. Turn on your headlights and try to start the car. If it still will not turn over and the lights do not dim you probably have a bad starter or starter solenoid. But make sure your battery is good. If you can jump start it with another vehicle the battery is bad. It can also be a defective ignition switch.
I am trying to change my alternator for a 1994 Nissan altima , and some one told me it's going to be really hard. the question is, is that Truth
check for blown fuses
SORRY I FORGOT;CAR IS;1994 Nissan Altima GXE AUTOMATIC;THANKS.
It's probably your Alternator that is going bad. That is if the battery and brake lights came on at the same time.
Try of anyway until you discover the issue. Nissan will give you an award if you find out.
Try the fuse and then the bulbs.
Only the ones that are sold in Canada. You can have the dealer to install them though.
yes
Because the switch is in the on position
Bad fuseTry replacingIf it continues to blow you will have to check circuit to find problem
Because it is a stupid car and you need to get a new one.
It is standard only in Canada. It is dealer installed anywhere else.
