SOURCE: 1998 Nissian Altima Not starting

Nothing by either party was said about the starter. The battery and wires can all be in great shape, and if they are and the owner hears a clicking noise when trying to start it its a pretty good bet they may have a starter that's locked up.


One good 'ole trick on those starters. If you can reach the starter, a couple of sharp rapes with a hammer will have it starting again, then you know it time to replace the starter.

Hello and thank you for using FixYa!

If you have a Service Engine Soon light on, then most likely you need a cam or crank sensor. Those are the most common. I would have the car checked to verify.

Thanks Jay!

SOURCE: clicking noise when try to start 2005 altima

sounds like you need to check the connections from the battery to the starting motor and you may also need to check the connections to the solinoid motor as well

2001 nissan altima will not crank when ignition is turned to start position it makes a clicking sound with a new battery

First check the battery connections are Clean and Shiny dirty connections wont let the electricity flow properly. If you know how to use a Multimeter, (set to DC volts), check the battery is still fully charged. There should be around 12.6 volts in it. The starter needs a minimum of 9 volts to crank over so anything under 10 volts is a flat battery.
Is this a quiet, single click or a louder single 'Clunk' noise?
This could also be a starter motor issue. The 'Click' is the solenoid, (an electrically controlled switch), operating and sending power to the actual starter motor. The 'Clunk' is the starter motor engaging but not actually turning the engine over. These are all signs the starter motor might be starting to fail.
Get a Good mechanic to look, and listen, to it. He will be able to tell if it is the solenoid or the actual starter motor causing the issue.

Do you know if the starter is making the noise ?
Can you turn the crank by turning the alternator pulley to make sure the engine is not locked up ?

Car won't start and starter is only making clunking noise

You can take out the spark plugs, keep track of your spark plug wire order, try to crank it over see if the engine turns over.


Check voltage on your new battery, some need to charge when new.

check for corrosion on the battery and starter cables.

Son has a 2005 Nisssan Altima and Hear clicking sound.

Most likely the alternator,chech for loose connections at the alternator first, if you have access to a voltmeter you can easily check this.Get the car started and place the leads to the battery terminals,if the alternator is good you should get about 14.8 v at idle and it will go as high as 15.5v to 16v as you rev the engine up.Anything between 12v and 14v at idle indicates a weak or not operating alternator.If you get a good reading run it for a bit and then see if it will start again,if it wont start check the battery cables(especially the negative) for corrosion or loose connections,look for cuts or tears in the insulation or a bulge in the cable wich will indicate corrosion under the insulation.If everything else checks out good and it still won't start then you'll need to look towards the starter.
