Had this very issue on my 2001 Pathfinder recently. I replaced the relay, but the intermittent starting returned. Finally decided to pull the starter itself and replace. Wasn't too difficult, a couple hours or so. The new starter fixed the problem 100%. The issue hasn't happened since.
Thank you sir. Stuck in the middle of nowhere. Messed with the relay and put it into neutral and it started right up. Will be changing that relay now after months of issues.
Great video thanks man!! Another thing you can do is remove the relay and if the same sound is there its possible it is the relay since the relay is needed for the start it a decent way to tell its bad
I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, it’s not ran since April 3rd, I had it at my mechanics place, they couldn’t Anything wrong with it but I did replace my battery, Diagnostics has been ran 3 times. So I’m gonna take your advice & but the relay & the NP one. Plus, the fuel pump 2 fuse also. 🤞🏻
My Mazda truck had the same issue. You can remove it and try a similar relay you likely have on your vehicle so check the number on the relay and if it fixes the issue you have a bad relay.
Not so fast. Avoid getting a new part which they won't take back because you opened it and installed it, only to find it didn't help. Suggest diagnostic to find the true problem. Either the neutral safety switch, or something in the column is most likely the culprit.

215,000 miles and my 2002 just started having that symptom. I replaced the starter and it worked fine for a week and then it happened again. Hopefully the relay fixes this issue.
I'm having same issue. Do you have a part number for that relay? Where can l get it? NAPA and other parts stores are not finding that relay?? Can you offer any help in finding it?
My 01 Altima 4cy, my son put the battery backwards and burned melted in the fuse panel the battery 100 amp fuse. I got the same panel in the junkyard, but don't know how to disconnect the old panel to put new one. There's no video on how to disconnect the battery fuse panel and replace it. Please HELP..
I have this problem in my pathfinder 2001 195kmilesi and i thougth its the the relay i bougth one at O'Reilly then almost a month it came back the same problem.then i go under the car and i tap the solenoid with the hammer then it start,so i think the solenoid is stuck. I have to find one at amazon.
Yes, solenoid can get stuck, then work for many starts. Then get stuck again.. They recommend changing the whole starter, so you won't have to bother with it again. Price is not that much more.
If tapping it will make it turn over then its the solenoid. You have an electric motor company or starter/alternator shop thats the way to go. I have some guys n I can get that stuff fixed cheap.
It's always a relay or a sensor. My extra sensory perception is saying get full coverage,wait a month, roller down a steep mountain. Lol. I'm kidding-kinds
I thought I was having the same problem as you, but now I think my problem might be something else. Sometimes mine will start right up, other times it will make a clicking sound and then finally start. I've replaced the starter and alternator and the battery is good. Have you had similar issues? Mine has 240,000 miles on it.
If automatic? There should be a clicking sound coming from the gear shift area, as you turn the vehicle from acc. position, to on position. That's normal.... If no click, then maybe neutral/park shift mechanism needs to be changed out... Just a thought. 2001 pathfinder
The relay is only 20 bucks. They had it in stock, at Orielly. Takes a minute to change. It might be the relay. Or watch a video on how to check a relay.
@@olivi3339 I had my car checked out and I guess it was the alternator. Since they were the ones that fixed it the first time back in October, they had to replace it for free. Hopefully this time it will last.
@@cristhian4160 No. What happened, my car wouldn't start and it had to do with a switch behind the battery that was preventing power to get to the starter. Something like that. So what the mechanics did was just bypass that switch and just hardwired it to the battery. It's been awhile, but I believe that's what they did. It's been starting fine ever since. Hope that helps.
I have a 99 q4 inf. With same issue it just go off while driving now doesn't star i hope this will fix will try and uldate if so. But it was running and suddenly stopped on the road so it may be something else idk yet.
Hey bro, bliss. I got a 2004 pathfinder & it starts and does not accelerate forward. Mechanic told me it is the ECM/ECU. Any input in how to fix or change it? Thanks
Hmmm.... Get one from the wrecking yard, if that's the issue.... Labor should not be much..... I'm on several R50 groups on Facebook. If you use Facebook the groups usually have help to these questions.... Mechanic is probably right.... Do you have a OBD 2 scan tool...? If not, get one... I would try looking up the repair and doing it yourself.
That's possible. There's videos on checking relays. Solenoid is simular in symptoms... and a greater chance of problem. Someone did post, that they had a recall on those relays, years ago...
It in the shifting column. You get to it from underneath.. It is rarely the problem..... Battery, battery cables and connections, solenoid, starter motor, relay, neutral/park cut off swich..... I would say, in that order, check.

185k on mine and it's about time to swap it, it works every 2nd or 3rd click now, don't need that kind of aggravation. Great video!
Thank you sir. Stuck in the middle of nowhere. Messed with the relay and put it into neutral and it started right up. Will be changing that relay now after months of issues.
Could be N/P switch in the shifting lever, which is energized by relay....
259,000 miles and mine is doing the exact same thing. Thanks for the heads up.You rock!

Thanks for posting this video! Same exact problem with my 2003 Infinti QX4 - 183000 miles. Replaced relay and we're back on the road again.
Did yours ever miss or act funny when all this was going down
So far so good thanks for the advice I just swapped the two relays the one next to it that says motor is the same relay having no problems now
Having the same issue with my 02 Xterra 150 k miles thanks so much just replaced the relay
Wow 🤩 thanks guys I was going to replace my stater you guys save me money and lots of time thanks 😊 150!k Mine went out

I bought the blue one. What does the one on the NP mean. How do I know what to buy
Thank you so much. My 02 Pathfinder has gone through 2 starters to try and fix this. It has 198k. This seems to have fixed it.

Thanks for posting
193,000 on 2000 xterra same problem, thanks for video
The starter can act up about the same...
Thanks a lot for posting this video
I also have a 03 qx4, sometimes it would crank and others it would just make one big click, will update once we check that relay!(179,000)
Nissan had a recall for those relays, they oxidize after years of use, my 2006 pathfinder is having this problem at 121,900 miles
You're sexy
Got a 1999 qx4 211,000 mi with same issue I've replaced starter an battery still just one click going to try this next 🤞

Fuel filter, maybe. Could be a lot of things.
What's the part number
Just bought a starter be must be this
Maybe... Check all connections and battery charge.... Starter solenoid give out very simular issue
How to adjest the qowal
What's the relay called? Part number?
It will say on it. Theres many matching n can grab a few n see if they work
Where did you buy the part? I have a 2002 Xterra and it seems nobody has it.
You can get the same relay off other vehicles used for lil to no cost
Couldn’t you switch it with a similar one next to it and see if that’s the problem before you buy one?
That's possible. There's videos on checking relays. Solenoid is simular in symptoms... and a greater chance of problem. Someone did post, that they had a recall on those relays, years ago...
