95 Pathfider will not start!
Nay-Sayer 27 April 2005 22:46:39
	It has 77k on the clock. It had this problem once before so I had it towed to Midas where the replaced the starter with a remanufactered one. That was about 2 years ago and I haven't put more than 10k on this truck since. When I turn the key I hear a single click coming from underneath but it does not attempt to crank. Is this the starter again or something else. Thanks...

Probably is -- clean all contacts to the starter and battery to be sure. If it still doesn't start, get a hammer and short end of 2x4 -- put the 2x4 on the starter and hit it with the hammer, mechanically shocking it. There's a good chance it will start now. If it does start, most likely it is your starter. Remco

	Before you beat your starter, check your battery and make sure it isn't drained. A drained or dead battery can cause the starter clicking you describe as well. Not enough juice = starter not doing much.

Actually, it could be the brushes on the starter as well - when they don't make proper contact the same thing actually happens.On some cars you can replace the brushes with the starter in place, but don't know if this is possible on a pathfinder. The solenoid is usually part of the starter assembly. On most if not all cars you have to take the starter out to replace this solenoid. Car repair shops will replace the whole thing so if you want to save some money, you'll have to take it out yourself and see if you can find a repair place that can fix it for you. The other post mentioning it could be the battery is perfectly valid as well. Often if the battery lacks power, you will hear a repeated clicking and not just one click but it is certainly worth checking.

	Update: Tried to give the truck a jump but it still wouldn't start. So I pushed it back into the garage. Then, about two hours later I was going to drive my other car to get some fast food and figured I give it another try. I put the key in the ignition and turned it to start. On the first four to five tries all I heard was the single click from underneath the truck. Then it started right up. What gives?

	no , not at all. I can speak from experience though. I see this same scenario time and time again. Customer brings their car in with a starting or charging problem, customer also states that they just had a new alternator/starter put on at... (fill in the blank's shop) 99.99% of the time the shop used an aftermarket rebuilt unit. and 100% of the time installing a factory OEM part fixes it, so the bad thing about this whole thing is the customer had to pay twice for the same repair.

	Oh yeah, I understand that. Have to remember though, sometimes it's just not in the budget to go with OEM.. When I purchased a clutch for my truck, I went with OEM parts .. and the same for the brake calipers.. Just because I trust OEM for that kind of stuff. Now if Fedex ground would just get off their asses and find and deliver my transmission .. I could start working again.

Maybe not right off, but they won't last as long as good parts. I allways buy EOM rebuilt starters and alternaters from Nissan. A few months ago i bought a Discount Auto prem. starter for my Chevy. Two to three weeks later i had to pull the screews holding the solinoid to the body and put some lock-tite on them. The screws vibrated out, in just that short of a time. If i had any sense, i would have checked before i installed the starter to begin with. I was a bit pressed for time when i changed the starter. It died in the parking lot when i picked up my wife up after work. She was in a bit of a hurry to get home. Not to mention the rain comming down. Nice thing about working under a van.
