Try starting it in neutral instead or park...It may be your neutral start switch is bad in the park position. Otherwise, it sounds like a starter relay is not working.

It sounds like your battery is dead. You may be able to fix this with a jump start if you left your lights on over night. If a good jump does not work it may be your starter. but you should start with the simple and cheap solution first. Try having someone jump start your car.

Run a jumper cable from your positive side of battery. to your starter incomming large post...be careful....It will spark big time.  If the started ingages your selenoid is cooked and needs to be replaced.  Be real careful or you can cause harm to yourself as well as your car

OK...Some cars use a "prime" relay and a "run" relay on the fuel pump. since manually priming it seems to work, I'd check and see if you have a similar system. If so, the prime relay may be bad.

SOURCE: My 1999 nissan altima won't start, no crank,not

If you look under the hood, there is a starter relay that might be the problem - but more common than that, - Do you have an alarm system of anykind? If so, It sounds alot like that is the problem, and they are notorious for causing "no start" problems as such - Unfortunatey, the wiring for these (even to just remove one) can be rather involved (as they often cut the starter wire to install an interrupt) so you may have to take it to an auto electric shop, or one that specializes in alarm systems - Also, dealers sometimes install special "electronic lot key systems" in all of their new cars, requiring that the "electronic key" must be present in the vehicle (along with the correct physical key) in order for it to start - I'd check for one of those systems as well - Hope that helps...

Is the anti-theft light on ? What happens when you turn the key to the start position ? You have a confusing post here ! won't cranks but won't start.????? if it doesn't crank the fuel pump would have nothing to do with the starter not working . You have a crank no start or no crank no start , which is the problem your having .

My 2005 nissan altima won't crank or turnover. It justs makes this clicking noise. Can you help me?

The click is most likely the starter solenoid you hear

Should be a familiar sound you've heard may times
on other cars

I would guess you know how old the battery is?

If it is original,it is 8 years old & dead,if so, replace it

If it is only 3 years old ,check the voltage with a meter

Next the solenoid could be working as you hear it,but
it's contacts are burnt,it can be replaced

You remove the starter & change the solenoid

Don't want to do that, buy the entire starter at auto parts,
not a dealer,cost too much to even be there for any reason.

My 99 altima doesn't crank doesn't start,the battery and starter are both new but still not even a beep,try to pop clutch to start still nothing,all lights and radio work and all relays and fuses are...

First check your fuse links, then check and see if you get current to the starter when the key is turned. If not you need to check the clutch safety switch and the ignition switch in that order. One of these switches are bad or a wire is broken.

I have Manual Nissan Altima 1997. It does not crank.

If you can hear the starter solenoid click, when you turn the key to start, then check that the large positive wire going to the starter solenoid from the battery has a good contact at each end. If you don't hear the solenoid click, then check that the small wire going to the starter solenoid has a good contact and power.

95 NISSAN ALTIMA WON'T TURN OVER

It seems that the problem is with the starter. When I used a hammer to tap on the starter it knocked enough corrosion off of the contacts to allow the car to start. I will be replacing the starter.

If its a crank no start, there issues of crank/cam sensors that go bad (Nissan has new updated ones) also fuel pump might be bad. Rarely a starter issue on the altimas

My car won't start I don't hear it crank

Get a test light, and see if your starter has battery power, (big wire/stud) on starter. itll light up if you do. then there should be a little wire. thats your igntion switch wire. have someone start your car while you testing the little wire. if the light comes on. then your starter is probably bad, even if its new they still can be bad. If it doesnt light up then, you need to locate the starter relay in engine compartment,I should have one. test to see if it clicking when you try to start it. youll feel it. If not pull it out and test to see if you have power. do the same test with someone starting it and see if you light comes on. If it comes on then replace the relay. and you could try and see if your ignition fuse is ok. I hope this gets you started. if not right back were your stuck at.
