I have a 2000 Nissan Sentra its a 5-speed the battery was drained so I put another battery in started right up. Took the cables loose stayed running connected the positive no problem ...connected the neg it dies.... help

Sounds like a loose wheel, check them ,

Could be a loose or bad connection in the park switch with safty interlock, or the switch itself.

check brake globes are ok could be filament broken that is touching and then not touching inside the globe. Also check brake fluid level in reservoir in engine bay . Could be low brake fluid may have a problem with the brake master cylinder .

never wash or wet an air filter as it closes up the pores in the paper element
fit a new element and then run the fault codes or reset the ECM using a scan tool

if alternator and belt are ok, then check the ground for the neagative on batteryor the cable end itself. car running accessories off, then you should have at least 13.5-14.5 at battery! if less then 13 volts with everything off. then alt, or wiring is the problem. make sure battery terminals are clean and tight at battery. take negative cable off battery while its running. if it quits its a bad alternator, if it stays running alt, is ok. check all the fuses and relays, just to be sure. if you think you have a drain on battery. remove fuses and relays one at a time, until you find the one curcuit thats causing the drain. then replace that fuse or relay. do not pull the pcm fuse or other kam-sensitive modules until you have checked the other curcuits. if the pcm is not getting proper voltage, it will die out ! battery could be weak! battery voltage by itself should be at least 12.68 volts this is at 100%. good-day !

its a bad alternator, a bad diode, replace the alternator this will solve your problem, when these alternators go bad the dash lights come on,it sounds like it sometimes charges and other times not,the car was charging when they got it so they really couldnt find much,ive run into this alot, check the connection at the alternator and battery if connections are good then replace the alternator, good luck.

check to make sure the alternator is charging the battery.crank engine while idling the alternator out put should be 13.5 volts to 14.5 volts. if not alternator is not charging the battery.if alternator is charging battery.the battery is weak.if its over 5 years old its more likely battery.if battery not old checks out good .replace battery cables..

are you sure the alternator is good? because it could be tricky ...The only other thing is the wire running back to battery pack to charge battery maybe disconnected

Have you checked the alternator?

fix the broken wires their probably the problem then if problem still present check fuel pump.......... you can bench test it by putting power and ground to the right wires don't be scared you wont hurt anything
