Nissan Cube starting issue with no spark despite new battery on Nissan Cube

Problem overview

Some Nissan Cube owners report experiencing starting issues even after installing a new battery, which may be attributed to several potential causes. A faulty starter is often cited as a reason for the failure to start properly. Additionally, a bad alternator could also contribute to the problem. Owners should inspect the battery cables, as corrosion or damage can prevent the vehicle from starting. If the check engine light is illuminated due to a catalytic converter issue, it might also affect starting performance. Problems with the ignition switch, such as the Import direct ignition switch, have been noted as possible factors. To further diagnose the issue, some owners suggest running a jumper from the ECM power supply PIN to the battery to determine if the ECM is at fault. Lastly, if the car starts with a manual trip of the solenoid, it indicates that the issue is unlikely related to the security system. It is recommended to systematically check these components to identify and resolve the starting issue effectively.
