^have you checked the switch? When my starter relay went out I bought one from VatoZone for $22 but it still didn't fix the issue...ended up getting a brand new BAD relay...bought one from Nissan for $24 and problem solved.

How would I check if its bad I can jump the soldered ends and make my car come on electrical wise not literally the engine turning over. And there is what looks to be a burn mark on the vonnection. And

Did u say u had an FSM? I think there's a procedure in there for checking various components and their resistances, ect. Snap a pic...a burn mark on an electrical part doesn't sound good.

Alright I will when I get to the shop today but here's something for you, swapped wires on the starter relay, (the one with the two connections going to it) and whenever I connect the ground to the battery even with the key in the off position, it starts itself or just turns over.

congratulations, you just hotwired a car!

Sounds like you've got some wires crossed somewhere.

Lol I know I'm trying to get them all sorted out but everything seems to go to the right plug do u have an email I can send Picts to?

Just post one here...I'm just one guy...

Linux2501 · 09-29-2012, 07:24 AM

Here it is is this the right one?

Not to mention whenever I put the positive terminal onto the battery none of my relays clock would that be because of the starter relay?
