Hello, can you describe what happens when you turn the key? Does the engine crank over? Does it make any noise? Is it completely without reaction or response - with or without dash lights lighting up?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2002 Nissan Sentra. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Usually the key has to be inserted into the ignition lock then turned to start the engine... Maybe you’ve found another way ? More details!
