Here's WHY your Nissan won't even jumpstart with jumper cables. & how to fix it.
For a guy who owns a 2005 nissan altima with all the same problems you mentioned as well as the hood prop being broken, this gave me some laughs. Thanks for the video.
Welcome James. That's pretty funny.
Hood clip is an easy fix.. I fixed my daughters for less than 1$.. drill a small hold thru the remainder of the base clip and interlink 2 washers with a zip tie.. just place the end of the prop rod into one of the zip tie circles and it holds fine. Hers has been like this for years.. 😊 I hate the cooling systems on these cars!! Grrr.
man you are the truth you wouldn't believe how many dealerships I have took my Maxima 2 and specialist unreal but thanks again you are the truth
Couldnt agree more. I would never buy another nissan again. I've had so many so many problems and wayyyy to much money later.
I have about 7 grand into my 06 altima 2.5s special edition. Ive rebuilt and rewired everything. But i love her and cant let her go! 208,000 miles and runs great!
@@fredsmith1672 what have you rebuilt to make it work at 200,000 miles mines have 180,000 but I’m not really a car person
I had more problems with their new car sales people than I've had with the SUV.
Rare honesty in a UA-cam video about cars.
agreed.
You are absolutely right about that.
My dad has a frontier (in the bow hunting video) and so does my brother-in-law. They have both had this same component fail. My cousin's Armada- same thing. ALL of them still LOVE their Nissans and would buy them again in a heart beat. NONE of them work on them at all. I'm happy for you about the Xterra. I'm glad you like it!
Omg omg thanks sooooo much for this amazing video. I had the same issue today and I was able to fix my car just by doing this. You saved me $$$. God blesses you.
You probably won’t see this but yesterday my moms Nissan Pathfinder 2008 did this. Went into the store, 10 minutes later, came out and boom it was dead. Found this video today and she was able to drive it home. Gonna replace that part asap. Thank you so much
7 years later and I gotta say thank you for this video. Your contribution is greatly appreciated
This ain't the kind of stuff they teach you in school thank you very much it fixed my car!! 🤩
Thanks Brian. My 2015 Nissan Altima had the very problem you demonstrated on this video. My mechanic told me to take it back to the auction where I bought it. I took it to the dealer and they told me that it will take a minimum of 6 hours to diagnose the problem. They will have to take out the dashboard. It’s going to cost me a couple of thousands to diagnose and fix. I didn’t have that so I took it back home. I watched your video and the problem was solved in less than 30 minutes. Thank you so very much.
Well done!
Brother
You are a blessing! Thank you! This worked! I did a voltage test and was getting nothing. The screw and wire were oxidized. I followed your steps and I get 14.4 volts with the car running using that as the ground
This video absolutely helped me , my Nissan Altima won't start but once I put a little pocket knife in that spot it cracks right up ! It's a bummer since I just got it . . .
Worst mistake I've ever made was buying a nissan. Thank god for videos like this because you will definitely need them
Aside from the corroded battery connector I haven't had any significant issues with my 2014 Xterra. I did break the fusible link assembly when trying to get the nut off so that I could replace the battery clamp - I did get the nut loose though. I replaced that clamp with a marine battery clamp but I had to slightly enlarge the mounting hole on the fusible link. Anyway, I did run into another issue when I went to replace the storage basket on the roof and found that the bolts were over tightened to where I broke some brass looking part, that the bolt screws in to, when trying to remove the bolt and that required that I drill out the bolts - not happy about that. Needless to say, I did not re-install the basket. I do have one of those "smart keys" that will open the car door but won't start the SUV (key goes into ignition but won't turn) - good think I have more than one key (and, by the way, another car to drive if this one fails).
My fiancee bought a Nissan without talking to me and I've been fixing it every freaking month. I swear to God I want to rip my hair out over this car constantly..
Me too a frigging nightmare, 08 frontier le bad radiator leaked to tyranny fried tcm and ecu 6800 dollars, crankshaft sensor then all sensors, now another electrical problem plus new driveshaft, new axles, tie rods on and on it goes in only 2 years
facts.
Nissan = 🗑 🚮
Me too, I hate mine won’t start tonight , it’s sitting in a parking lot
I always respect your honesty! Went from GM to Nissan but proly should of just bought a Toyota.
Awesome, you are the first young (I am retired) person that I have heard use the "Planned Obsolescence" term. I can remember father using that term when I was growing up, so I used it with my children and grand children and tell them what it means.
Omg!! Thank you for making this video!! This is how we got my son’s Nissan Titan started!! I can’t thank you enough!!!
What was the problem or symptoms with the titan my won’t start
@@sergiochilel6164 the fuse on the battery was fried from being jumpstarted jncorrectly by my father in law. I was able to start my sons truck by following this video!
in the video did you jump over the fuseable link. bypassing it
I have a 2014 Xterra and had to replace my fusible link. You have convinced me to keep a spare fusible link assembly in the car along with the tools to replace it.
Perfect video Brian, learned a lot. Thanks for that... I might be able to help someone on the road who has this issue.
This saved me alot of time. New part on the way. Thank you for uploading!!!
I just replaced my fusible link and clamp but I'm going to order an extra fusible link to keep in the car. There's nothing worse than being 500+ miles from home with a car that won't start and/or can't get the part locally.
I added Electrical conducting grease to the relay/fuse connections and sandpaper the flat surfaces over the Battery posts. Now works.
Thanks! The guys at the auto store said I needed a new starter. I returned the $200 starter and went to the dealership paid $28 for the fusible link and it fired right up!
Thanks Man. Excellent, to the point video. This just happened to Mom's Murano (rolling POS) so I appreciate you solving this puzzle and sharing. Saved me a day and a half of trying everything else and a pocket full of money. I'm subscribing. ~Keep on Keepin' on. ~S
"That's horseshit is what it is, they suck!"
Ahhhh how refreshing ... non filtered honest criticism!!!
Hey man ur video saved me this weekend. Everywhere i read said its the brake pedal sensor. I had no money for that part and no where near a parts store. The car was doing nothing, no lights, no power locks, no sound, completely dead. Thanks for the video.
Update: i have a 2015 nissan altima and i took the poaitvie battery terminal off and cleaned those connections as well.
What is the part called? The same thing just happened to me on my Nissan Quest it won't start the horn won't blow the lights won't go on nothing
2013 Altima. I have frequent build up corrosion on B+ on battery. Cleaned the terminal again last week wondering why it happens. Spotted your video, nice work. Your explanation of a a "lazy" design and bad hygiene made sense. Going to get a spare battery fuse block and reclean and protect the terminal better. Only reservation is that it's not a $200 part now.
Thanks for the heads up, sounds like a helpful spare part to get ahead of time!
We have Nissans at school. I’d add to your list their belt tensioner. Both the v6 and 4cyl. They always get rounded over and are fun to replace
Haha, it's refreshing to hear you talk like this. I really enjoyed it :)
This helped me so much was stuck here for 1 hour trying to figure this out.THANKS
Thank you very much for this Video.I was able to fix my wifes Nissan I changed the exact same part and it works like a champ now 👍👍👍💯
GREAT QUESTION! My main concern is that the fuses are so close to the positive terminal. While this looks good on paper, it lends them to be VERY vulnerable to battery acid and subsequent corrosion. Mechanics and tow truck drivers see "no starts" very regularly from the positive side terminal tripling in size and turning blue, green, or white due to sulfuric acid. Fortunately you can cut off the end and replace it easy enough. However a configuration like this is harder to come by at a C-store.
Holy shit you have no idea u may have just saved me thank u!
Thanks for the great video! My daughter's Nissan Xterra wouldn't start. I'm not a car guy, so I had no idea why. Your video gave me a place to start. We changed the connections, cleaned everything and it started right up!
Greg Funk YES!!! Way to go! You found the answer and you made it happen!
I had the same problem with my 2006 Altima. Took seeing this video to figure it out. Thank you.
It’s August 13, 2021 and this video just helped me a lot I was about to junk my car until I seen this video so think so much
Wow! My GF has this car and i was fixing it, and you literally mentioned everything i also hate about the car! So many stupid things they did, I'm glad im not alone i feel better. The whole battery terminal monstrosity is the worst i've seen!
Great information presented in in an easily comprehended format.
2nd time I'm fixing this for 2012 nissan murano.. Thanks for the video.
THANK YOU! Thank you! Thank you! You saved me a wrecker bill (at least).
Ordering the spare fuse box, and a new cable to replace the corroded one. I thought I was somehow being negligent in taking care of my car because there was always a ton of corrosion building up on the battery, , but now I know it's just a design flaw, and it's going to do this again. At least I know where to start. I hope I can get the grease at my local parts place or WalMart?
Thanks again!
So good to see your comment! The mechanics that’d fix and replace my Nissan 2012 batteries and the brain once would ridicule me for not maintaining the battery... I was but it doesn’t seem to prevent the massive corroding of my 5-6 batteries plus one time it was so bad it literally affected the brain of the car that Nissan so conveniently put next to the battery 🤦🏻♀️ I hate Nissan! I love my car except all the bs expenses and time and effort put in just to use it
Both of my Nissan Altimas have the corrosion on battery terminals too. I've always wondered why even though I clean and maintain every few months.
Vaseline works great for anti corrosion on battery terminals
Wow!!!! This was very helpful. I've been having problems with Nissan Sentra doesn't want to start looked like electric problem they said it was battery but lights going on and off, so yeah left stranded many times, just getting sick and tired of it all. Now I see this and explained a lot of the issues. Wow!!! I'll give it a shot. Thank you so much. 😊
Welcome! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the thumbs up!
I just had an 03 altima in my shop for 2 full weeks.By far the most annoying vehicle i have ever put my hands on. And to think i nearly bought an altima. great videos BTW thanks for taking the time to record and share your knowledge.
Great video and information. What a problem! Horrible that they keep making their cars like this leaving the customers with the problems after buying their vehicles
Thank you so much for this. I love my '02 Altima, but what a pain in the a$$. So many small fixes and now I'm having the issue that you talk about in this video. Guess I'm gonna make a trip to the dealership for the part tomorrow.
the trouble with my 02 altima brought me here
THANKS!!! It worked. I was @ my wits End Then put a finger nail clipper on both bolts by the fuse and it Started!! And now keeps starting w/o the tool touching..
Thank you for this. I actually looked this up just to start my Mom’s Ford Focus and wanted to be sure I connected the jump cables correctly. Never did I imagine such an informative video and a guy that breaks it down in a way I understand too! Since choosing my 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 or whatever, I’ve replaced 4-5 batteries due to corrosion, I’ve also had to by the “brain” of the car once because the battery corroded to the point it contacted connections to the brain and killed my car 🤦🏻♀️ that was expensive! Sorry ik very little in mechanic terminology however ik what sucks and replacing batteries about every two years sometimes more it seems flat out ridiculous, it’s costly, and can affect more than just the battery. Nissan should be forced to pay for every battery, car brain and service charge we owners acquire due to their bad planning. I do love my Nissan minus all the headaches but I’ll never buy one again! That and because it’s a foreign vehicle insurance is outrageous supposedly due to part costs
)
Great commentary. Thanks!
I just needed my Altima to start after battery replacement to trade it in!! I never post anything on UA-cam but Your VIDEO WORKED for my '02 Altima SE!!!! Thank You Soooo Much your video saved me $$$ I was thinking alternator until I found your VID now I can trade it Thanks Again
Trade it in for a toyota/Lexus. Renault =Nissan =junk
Been trying to get ours jumped even bought a battery box. Was stranded for a day til we tried this then it was able to read the battery voltage an start 'er right up! Thanks a bunch 💌
YOU WIN!!! CONGRATULATIONS on finding the answer and getting your Nissan started! You're welcome Donali!
Thanks for the heads up! I have a nissan versa and i didnt even know this! Glad i caught this video. Clicking subscribe bc this is the second useful video i have found of yours!
lol. I feel your pain bro. Thanks for the post. My element was giving me fits, and although this turned out not to help, I enjoyed the video. Well said!!!
Thanks . great video. i see the moisture by the battery cover to add acid. Mine stopped even on jump because of corrosion. I have maybe 3 or 4 power plugs connected to the positive post. I would get 14-16v on my batteries (2 ) on a max, but inside it would drop anywhere from 7-10 volt when it stopped. and every once in a while it would dip down like it was dying. i thought it was a bad cell and replaced a battery . but this was the problem. Thanks again. I brought a brush & battyer protectant to clean everything until I get a yellow top gel battery
Thanks for sharing. Great info. I need one of these for my Nissan Versa. Do you now of you can get this fuse from an auto parts store or do you have to go to the dealer?
You made me look good! I helped some folks that had this issue. Thanks.
Thanks I really appreciate your video…it was enormously helpful! Have a blessed day
You are the best! Your parents did a great job!
Another great video, thanks Brian.
you really helped me out in getting to know my new altima. The hood prop broke on mine, too. The fuse issue gave me a heads-up. i'll be buying one. I love the car but issues like this are a pain.
Get a toyota/Lexus. You'll thank me later.
my 2007 nissan murano just started doing this a month ago and its getting aggravating. gonna look into this fix tomorrow
Thank you so much!! This is exactly what was wrong. Got a new battery fuse and she starts right up!
Woow you just saved me bro. This was just my exact problem..06 Nissan Altima
hey man, thank you for the quick response.. thank you for your time :) im gonna read some about fob key
Thanks for the video, clear & concise! 👍
Japanese really got to love it . Their getting us back for the big one. Thanks man .
Actually it's French quality in a Japanese brand. Renault-Nissan junk.
Excellent information Brian.
Wow. Thanks. I know someone who can use this information. love your channel.
Very informative video. I'm currently working on a 2003 Altima SE and the same thing is happening to me. I thought it was a fuse until my whole entire dash went out but all my fuses checked good. Then I knew it had to be some type of grounding issue. I'll change that and see what happens. Thank you.
dieselstar5 You should be able to tell if it's bad without just replacing it. You can see if any of the fuses are broken.
Thank you for sharing this information!!! I have a 2006 Altima and it acts as if it will start but then nothing happens just like in the video. The 1st sign that there was a problem was when I locked my doors at the gas station then upon leaving I unlocked it through driver window and the alarm went off. Started car went home. Turn car off and proceed to get out so I lock my doors. The alarm goes off again. Had to start my car and put it in drive. Lol. Not sure if that turned the alarm off but it worked. The next day my car wouldn't start.
Rhonda Sidibe you gotta reset the alarm I had the same problem
You are fun and soo honest content, thank you
Thanks Brian another great tip if your ever working on Nissans. And don't feel bad for complaining about it. Little problems like that one that leave you on the side of the road suck for anyone. And I agree Its just stupid for the company not to fix them.
So I love that you are shiting on Nissan right now I don't hate them but I'm not a fan.That's probably why there selling them so cheap right now. So my neighbor just bought a new Nissan Altima and tried to compare it to my Subaru Legacy I was trying to be polite but I just but out laughing cause I know there's no real comparison except there both Japanese cars LOL
+jeremy jones actually the nissan has lots of French in it. and french cars dont have a strong reliabilty record
Keep up the fantastic work broski
thanks for the tips, I think I have same problem...will check then confirm here it works cheers
i have a 2012 altima that the fusible link terminal corrosion welded itself to the positive terminal nut. what an adventure that was to replace. i had to use PB blaster and an impact gun to break it loose
Thanks Brian for the video. I have a Nissan Altima too and sure enough the PLASTIC hood rod holder broke, I Just tuck it under that black foam piece on the underside of the hood.
If you did a video, I think you have huge following and would help out a lot of people and you know how to explain exactly what it is all about.
your the man bro thanx a bunch this exact thing happened to me and cost me but u saved me even more thanx broooo
Definitely gotta give you credit on this one! 109 degrees outside and the '07 Sentra just said 'F' troop! Luckily, 777Towing got to me within 20 minutes so didn't have to suffer long. Broke out the umbrella and commenced tah sweating! The tow driver was baffled as to the possible cause; chiming, no dash lights, hazards work but no audible relay action (clicking). Get home and I actually look at this part (the fusible link) because it's right at the positive terminal as you mention, but it's so damn deceiving...I see four links that you can glance at and they are fine. What you don't see, and here's where the hat gets tipped off to ya, is the "other" hidden fusible link (ignition no doubt) that's under a nice plastic cover. Remove the positive cable, flip the assembly upside down and whoops there it is...Absolutely incredible. Found the 'missing link' thanks to you!
I have a 2003 Altima 2.5S. I wasn't aware of the problems you mentioned so I'll look at mine. What I also hate about the QR25DE engine is the pre-cat's material breaking apart and scoring the cylinder walls. They also have an issue with the butterfly screws that get loose and get sucked into the engine doing the same damage. I recently replaced the pre-cat with an after market header and will check the butterfly valve when I get my car back from the shop. Cracked cam shaft. How did that happen?!
Good on ya man! I really like your user name too!
Battery Terminal Fuse block. I've only ever found them in the Nissan dealership parts dept.
i love my 03 nissan murano lmao...got it for 300$ cause the previous owner got tired of throwing money at it and tried but couldnt change his alternator....alternator and 2 lower balljoints now i got a really nice certified winter beater...one trouble free winter so far but now that i seen this in my feed im changing those before the snow falls
Thanks Joe!
Hey Brian, if the starter Sparks when trying to jump start start the car and doesn't crank could it still be this or am I most likely looking at a new starter? Thanks for the vids
Hey question so should you replace the fuse first or get the battery tested? Or does it matter?
where they actually make contact it scrapes through it and conducts fine. Anywhere else that isn't actively contributing to the connection is insulated. This prevents the sacrificial anode effect. GREAT GREAT QUESTION!
@briansmobile1 have you had any problems with the passenger and rear passenger floorboards being soaked with water on your Altima? I've done some research and if it's on the driver side floorboards it's been linked to a bad kink for the drain of the cowl area. Any ideas on what could cause the issue on the passenger side? Also, this video helped me a lot last year when I had this problem. You were the only one who had this suggestion after months of research and having to deal with this issue. I appreciate any help or ideas you provide!
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about these cars, bro! I HATE mine.... or soon to be not mine.
Dude, my fusible link just had the 120 Amp blow just like yours did. I bridged the gap w/a screw driver bit. Problem is I was also having hesitation and stall problems at low RPMs. So when I started it, it stalled 3x before I could get home.
Dude honestly I NEVER Coment on these things but really dude your the man ty I've been broke down for over a week I have a Nissan Sentra 2013 same problem 800$ later and this video was the only thing that worked ty not sure if was asked already but if u can give me a name of that part ...ty yuor a life saver
Trade that Renault in for a toyota/lexus. Those things r nothing but trouble.
or an Acura..not too hard to fix those either
I really enjoy your videos and humor ! My 99 Caravan died on the freeway at 65 mph heavy traffic. Had it towed( $205 ) and soon as tow truck drove off the car started right up.Runs like a swiss watch with 165000 on it but afraid to drive very far. Did the same thing a year ago, replaced many things and just 2 weeks before this last incident we had the PCM module replaced - had car computer tested day before our Christmas vacation and all checked out perfect. Then, 100 miles from home, dead. Is it a bad ground?
Try to replace the battery connector. It works for me and cheap too.
Hey Brian I have a quick question I have the same car just 2003 an I just replaced the window regulator on driver side .worked great for a couple weeks now all the windows an power lock will not work beside the passenger window . Any idea what it may be ?
You mentioned that the unit was set up to close to the battery, could you not build an extension then connect the new system to the extension once you have a good connection?
Question..
This video actually saved my life... my cars life lol.
However.. the battery fuse officially blew and I bought a new piece.
Before it blew I had a metal piece connected like as your nail file..except my car then wouldn’t go in reverse and after that it wouldn’t start up at all...
Any suggestions?
I’m hoping after replacing the fuse all systems go 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙌🏼😅
Brian, Thank You for the video, but please give the name of the part you're replacing. I can't go to the dealer and say "That thingy that the man replaced from his Nissan car from the vide on his UA-cam"
Yes whats the part nsme
I'm curious about this one, too, Brian. My scanner finally died on me after ~8 years of good use, but it's no longer made - which do you recommend now?
Hey, I love my Nissan! My Xterra has been, by far, the most reliable vehicle I have owned. It takes all of the abuse I serve it and never misses a beat. I can't say the same for my Chevy that I have owned a month and has already broken down twice. Four years with my Xterra and it has never left me stranded once. One month with the Chevy and it's quit on me twice. By the way, my 2001 Xterra does not have that type of fuse set up, somebody at Nissan must have got stupid in more recent years.
Right on! I'm glad.
Thanks for the video. Could this have something to do with my headlight continuing to go out? Also my sunroof sometimes working sometimes not? Same with glove box light. Thanks
XWingLuke2684 dying battery
I agree, I'm on my 4th Subaru now and I've never had a problem with any of the ones I've owned.
I am unable to remove the 12mm nut connected from the fusible link to the positive battery connector, even with applying PB blaster and the use of a breaker bar. Can I cut further down and use a coupler and extend a new battery wire with a battery lug?
Hi could this cause the abs light to come on as it came on just before I turned the engine off to restart but it nothing was happening it would not turn over no power at all to anything lights horns etc the previous owner had make like a make shift connection going from one bolt to the other which looked burnt out so I just joined the 2 connections with a fuse for now to see if it worked which it did the car turns over and starts but the abs light is still on would this solve the problem if when I change the whole fuse part
Just tried it and it worked..WoW. thanks
