car is DEAD need help!
So the other day I got home took a shower and got ready for work. I go out to my car put my keys in the ignition and nothing except my inside dome light and my clock turn on. Knowing that my alternator was going bad I bought a new one and changed it but Im still having the same problem. I cant crank it or even turn my headlights on. Ive triple checked all the alternator plugs and wires and cleaned all of the ground connections but still nothing. I just got back from autozone where I had the battery charged and checked and everything checks out. I have no more ideas and my poor baby is just sitting there helpless and dirty af
someone please help me so I dont have to borrow my moms car and have my girlfriend pick me up for our date tonight x) |

Starter? Hotwire it directly to the battery and see if it cranks. If so, then most likely a main relay is bad

There is a Relay fuse under the front passenger fender near the battery. Its a dealer part only so you will have to get it from a nissan dealer.

Glad you got it fixed, but it sounds like you need a lot of experience...not being a dick or anything. The starter realy is not in the box and running a hotwire is easy as pie. just run a wire in similiar guage size directly from the battery to the starter. Postive to postive negative to negative. EASY! As for the relay like I said it is hidden under the pass fender next to the battery. Just do a lot of reading and as you build this car up you will learn!
