Replaced starter on 2002 Nissan Xterra. When I placed the ground wire on the battery, the truck tried to start without the keys in it

Hey! If your 2002 Nissan Xterra attempted to start without the keys in the ignition after replacing the starter, there may be an issue with the electrical system or the starter installation. Here are a few things you can check:

Wiring connections: Double-check the wiring connections on the starter. Ensure that the positive and negative cables are securely attached to the appropriate terminals on the starter. Make sure there are no loose or exposed wires.
Starter solenoid: The starter solenoid is responsible for engaging the starter motor when the ignition key is turned. It's possible that the solenoid is malfunctioning or wired incorrectly. Check the solenoid connections and wiring to ensure they are properly connected and in the correct configuration.
Ignition switch: It's unusual for a vehicle to attempt to start without the keys in the ignition. There could be an issue with the ignition switch or the wiring related to the ignition system. Inspect the ignition switch and its wiring for any signs of damage or loose connections.
Security system: Some vehicles have a security system that can prevent unauthorized starting. If your Xterra is equipped with a security system, ensure that it is not causing the issue. Refer to the vehicle's manual or contact a Nissan dealership for instructions on troubleshooting the security system.
Starter replacement: If all the wiring connections and components appear to be in order, it's possible that the replacement starter is faulty or incompatible with your vehicle. Consider double-checking the specifications of the new starter to ensure it is the correct model for your Xterra.

If you are unsure or uncomfortable with performing these checks yourself, it is recommended to consult a professional mechanic or contact a Nissan dealership for assistance. They will have the expertise and tools necessary to diagnose and resolve the issue with your Xterra's starting system.

Engine light stays on with the code p1706 what does this mean? I have a 1999 nissan altima gxe.

This code indicates there is a problem with your PNP (Park Neutral Position) switch On American built cars it's called the Neutral safety switch.
It may have been a "one time" take it to AutoZone and have them reset the error. If it doesn't come back don't worry about it. If it does at least you know now what to look for

There are only 3 possible causes for that code.

1. Open or shorted PNP sensing circuit between the PCM and the ground for the PNP switch.
2. Faulty PNP switch
3. Defective PCM or possible PCM software update

> I searched for possible Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may address this concern or authorize a software update to correct the problem and found none.

> You have already replaced the PNP switch.
> PCM failures are extremely rare.

This leaves us with an open or shorted circuit that needs to be traced. (which, incidently, should have been checked before replacing any parts.)
