Car wont start after changing battery

A friend of mine was having trouble starting his honda accord so I offered to go help him jump his car w/ my 02 Altima. His mechanic friend instead of jumping the car, removed the battery out of my car and put the honds's battery in mine. My car was running well until he connected the battery from the Honda, when suddenly the car turned off and we havent been able to restart it. All the sensors and relays have been checked and are fine. I understand that it is a safety feature that shut off the engine bec either the battery was bad or somehow wires were crossed. I never rec'd a manual as the Nissan Altima was purchased used from s Nissan dealership. Does anyone know how to reset that safety feature if that's what it is? Also, the brake lights do not come on but the radio does and the automatic windows work.

Start the engine, and remove the positive cable from the battery, if it stays running your alternator is most likely o.k. because the engine stays running from alternator current once it starts.
I have had 5 of these trucks 1994 to 1997 and I have had to replace many batterys and alternators, and I have even gotten new alternators where the current was not strong enough, that will make the battery light stay on sometimes also.

SOURCE: I have a 99 nissan altima. I am having problems

A TPS will not cause a no start,so the 1st thing u do here is stop guessing and do the proper tests, the 1st test to do is check for fuel pressure, your discription sounds like a failed fuel pump, get a can of spray starting fluid from the auto parts store and spray that into the intake air pipe to the engine, if it starts and stalls right away then u have a fuel pressure issue most likely due to a defective in tank fuel pump, next have the OBD 2 electronic engine control system tested for fault codes, u will need to buy a fault code reader, the connector that it plugs into is right in front of the steering wheel under the das, the code readers are about $40 from Kragen or Autozone parts stores, let me know what happens.

SOURCE: my 02 nissan altima is having trouble starting.

Coils packs, plugs, fuel filter? If you cant remember doing these things its probably way past due.

Car wont start

pretty sure you have a bad alternator, if battery was marginal it may have taken the battery with it...First though, remove and clean the terminals and see if it helps. If it starts, check charging system and have battery tested as well. If you want to do this yourself, post back and I'll help you with it.
good luck
