That is a very quircky problem, but could be related to an aftermarket alarm miswired or failing. Aftermarket alarms will attach to the parking lights. Does the vehicle start and run with the lights off? If the answer is no I'd ask them to fix the problem before you buy it. You don't want to buy someone else's problem.

I have a 1996 nissan maxima, lights, radio, and everything else works but the car won't crank. We replaced the starter ourselves but it still can't start. What else could be the problem?

Try swapping the starter relay with the wiper relay(they are in a fuse box, located under the hood). If it starts, your starter relay is bad.

My abs light is on after I changed my brakes I changed my brakes because the abs was kicking in for some reason unknown and now the light is on and I don't know why 2004 Nissan maxima 3.5 se

If the ABS light is on, it's a good idea to find out what codes are stored.

The OBD-II system allows many codes to be read but a specialist with an ABS BrakeScan tool will be needed in order to find the codes for the ABS system for your vehicle.

I bought a Brakescan tool that works on most Ford, Chrysler, and GM vehicles from 1996 through 2005 but, I don't think it will work with the Nissan Maxima.

So, that's why I would direct you to the dealer for this one.

i would suggest you contact a dealer and tell them what happened they may tell you to bring it in and that may be a good idea when it comes to these computerized vehicles it's not always a good idea to disconnect the positive cable to check to see if the alternator is faulty it may have caused another problem doing so. The best way to check for a charge is with a machine that detects the charging system is operational

As for trouble codes, and the dealers recommendation. They are true and accurate, although I would get a second opinion from another auto shop other than the dealer. Do not disclose what you already know other than the problems you are expriencing.

Key won't turn - key light is green

Steering is in a bind were wireless key cannot activate. Move steering wheel to the left and right while trying to start. I had the same problem and this is what the Nissan dealership told me to do. I't worked like a dream.
