One possibility is a fuse link. It's a common problem on Nissan Altimas. The fuse a dark gray, rectangular shaped fuse (75amp) with a 2-prong female connection. Not sure the exact location, but it's usually within a fuse box under the hood. If it's blown, it could cause loss of accessory functions as well as starting problems. Also might want to check to be sure the battery is fully charged and all connections (battery cables, terminals, etc.) are good and clean.
My Altima had that problem and it was the water pump going out. It started with temperature gauge was moving, but then it started leaking and finally the heater stopped being warm at idle.
The 2004 Nissan Altima's only problem is electrical. See if the battery is operating and is not dead. Source: Used Car Buying Guide 2007
One headlight not working
check for blown fuses
well, this is what my mechanic told me when i had this problem (still have it) with my 1994 Nissan altima: the altima's alternator isn't working well. so, the battery isn't well supplied... Solution: replace the alternator immediately or dont drive the car until u do so less you make things worse. bajah
I have a 2005 Nissan altima and it use to do that until I replaced the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, have not had that problem since. The crankshaft sensor is real easy to replace. The camshaft is a little more difficult but can be done, I would recommend you trying it yourself. The sensors I got from autozone and paid about $35 a piece and safe a lot in labor charges.
same problem, did you ever find the solution?
Check the fuse first.
