The engine may not crank when the key is turned to "start" if the starter relay fails. This can be confused with a defective starter motor.

    I went to crank my 1992 Pathfinder the other day and it wouldn't start . I replaced the starter and it cranked 6 times in a row then nothing . Tried again the next day and it cranked a few times then nothing again . After sitting for about half an hour it would crank again . Gonna replace the starter relay tomorrow and see what happens .

    My pathfinder was working fine.. then one day at a gas pump i tried to start it.. it would not do anything. turned it off and on and off and on.. let it set a few minutes then it started.. then went to the dr. appt. when I tried to crank it up it would do nothing again. repeat attempts were unsuccessful.. finally called nissan at the avenues to tow it and fix..they said the Starter went out.. and charged me 718.99 to replace it along with a 100 dollar tow and 95 dollars labor for 2 hours work.. this is a rip off and nissan should recall this problem.. anyone else have this problem with their 1997 nissan pathfinder???
