Hooked up the battery backwards, did we? It is hard to say which type you have. The service information does not tell you HOW to remove the fuse, it only tells you to remove it. Some of main battery fuses BOLT in and some of them use a "cartridge" type fusable link. If it is the bolt-in type, you may have to remove your power distribution box and remove nuts or bolts from the bottom side. If it is the cartridge type, there are usually latches on the sides of the fuse cartridge that you must hold back with a screwdriver or pick, while at the same time, pulling and wiggling the fuse cartridge to get it out. I have been known to use a large pair of pliers for this task.
Just looking at the fuse block diagram for your vehicle, it looks like your Exterra is equipped with the cartridge type fuse, but I would have to see it in person to be sure. This is not something that gets replaced every day.

SOURCE: New battery and Xterra still won't start

There are a couple of immediate possibilities that come to mind. First - you could have fried the ECU/ECM (not sure what it's referred to by the NizMO folks) when you tried to jump the battery.
Second - the ECM/ECU needs to be reset when a new battery is installed.

When you attempt to start it, do you get anything at all? Any clicking, whirring, buzzing?

SOURCE: I am replacing the starter

Disconnect Neg(-) battery terminal(at Battery) before doing anything. U should have one big wire(goes to battery_+_) small wire goes to ignition switch (Cranking 12v+) and then mounting bolts to engine/transmission. It helps to look at new part first and then at old one on vehicle(Compare and contrast). You can do it.

Testimonial: "I really appreciate the help. I understand how it works now. Everything is in place and the car is running well now."

Can I replace the 3.3liter v6 in my 2003 Nissan Xterra with a 4.3 liter v6

No, a 4.3 liter V6 is not a compatible replacement for the 3.3 liter V6 in a 2003 Nissan Xterra. The Xterra is only built to accommodate engines up to a maximum of 3.6 liters. It is important to replace an engine with one that is compatible with the vehicle and meets its specifications. A reputable mechanic could advise on the best replacement engine options for your Xterra.

Why would my 2003 Nissan Xterra A/C blower and radio lose power 2 days ago?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

There are three fuses and a relay that cover the blower. Radio probably has an inline fuse, but they are also monitored by the Body control Module.

I am replacing the starter in my 2003 Xterra. Do I only need to attach the two bolts and the single wire (I guess it is the battery wire)?
