SOURCE: crankshaft and camshaft sensors location in nissan altima 2003

You are incorrect sir. There is a very good Youtube video showing you exactly where it is that is how I changed mine. The Crankshaft is located behind the engine block below and around from the cam sensor which is easly spotted looking at the engine. The crankshaft is in a difficult spot but once you figure out where it is it's easy...ish hope this helps

Every time I try to turn the key, it won't turn. The steering wheel is NOT locked. Is my ignition switch gone bad? I have a 2002 Nissan altima

The key is worn out. Take the key and your VIN number. Located in the windshield drivers side at the bottom or on the drivers door or in the door jam . Take them to the dealer and they will cut u a new key.

Nissan key trouble

Unfortunately, the keys have an anti-theft chip in their bodies that communicates with the car's system.
Try Googling ("Nissan/car key programming" for a cheaper price or phone independent garages. The keys can probably only be done by an authorized Nissan dealer. Also, phone locksmiths for their opinion.

My 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 won't start. I tried to jump it, but it has all the power. The starter seems to kick but the engine just wont start/turn over. I ended up having it towed to my house until...

it is a fuel pump mostly
but first check the fuel pump relay .
then make that test for the pump to make sure it is bad
unplug the fuel line (hose) from the throttle body tell a friend to make the key on position(not to turn it ) if the hose fail to squirt a dose of fuel then sure the fuel pump is dead

I cant turn the ignition or move the steering wheel on my 2003 nissan altima. When I insert the key I get the usual sound but I cant turn the key at all, and the steering wheel seems like its stuck.

i think there is a ignition problem , might try replacing it , of course you cant turn the steering if the key wont turn , its a theft prevention device.

It very well could be the BCM....only way to check it is to have a full featured scan tool, and check out the systems.
