08 ALTIMA CRANKS BUT WONT START

What is your question?

Tried to start 08 altima after it had been outside in the cold, cranks wont start. Try to jump it with my V-8 Explorer cranks wont start. Found battery, water level low. Filed with water and trickle charged over night. Tried to start nothing. Took battery in to auto store, dead. Need a new one. Replaced battery cleaned corrosion from both connectors. Cranks still no start. Rear brake lights work, getting fuel cause it smells like gas, flooded. I replaced the brake switch about 4 years ago. Internet say change cam and crank sensors?? Help

From personal experience at the shop - the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors are indeed very problematic! BOTH sensors must be replaced at same time - using same brand name + high quality parts. Have good results using NAPA ECHLIN replacement parts. Due to crankshaft position sensor location - you’ll likely need *hands-on* assistance from qualified personnel.
