    My 1997 Nissan Pathfinder started having problems starting two days ago and this morning it wouldn't start alltogether. If the ignition is turned 3/4 I have all dashboard lights ect. When I try to start it, it just makes a clicking noise. When I remove the key entirley, it contiues to click rapidly, then stop, then click rapidly, then stop four of five times. Prior to these events if I put my truck while running into reverse or drive, my heater would stop working and my dash lights ect would flash and make a rapid clicking noise as well, if I turn off the heat, and have my lights on, it will work - but if I turn on my stereo, all power starts to go haywire. Any idea's?

    No offense, but I'm pretty sure a fuel and air filter are not causing my electrical issues

My 1997 Nissan pathfinder want start, I turn the ignition the dashboard lights up but want start.

Does it crank? If not you'll need to check your battery to see if it needs charging, check terminals, alternator or starter motor

Nissan qashqai turns over but won't start. has happened 2 morns in a row but starts easily later in the day

If you have tried cranking up the engine a few times, but nothing happens, you should pause after the first few times. Then retry after 2 to 3 minutes; it may start. But, the main fault possibly lies in the ignition relay, so that would have to be replaced to stop this problem one and for all.

1997 SC1 wouldn't start the other morning. It wasn't getting sparks to the plugs. Its battery is good and heard the fuel pump humming. thought it was the ignition coil they were bad replaced t

Ok what you are going to have to do is called a wiggle test have someone cranking while you wiggle all the wires at the module and everywhere till it starts or tries to start and when you notice a condition for the better examine that area very well for (ANY) type of wire problems.

I have a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. It recently wouldn't start. A friend said there appeared to be a lot of grease on the whatever its called that plugs into the starter. It will push start but won't...

It sounds like you have a solenoid issue on the starter... If it push starts fine then all your ignition circuits seem ok... If you feel good that there is not any damage when the keys turn the ignition.. I would lean toward correcting the starter problem.. Hope this helps..

My Nissa Pathfinder 1997 will not start it might

youre going to need to get a volt meter and have someone hold the key in the start posistion while someone else goes under the vehicle and test to see if there is voltage at the starters smaller wire. if there is, replace the starter.
