Ry, how did you know your starter needed to be replaced? I’m having an issue where at times I turn the key and just get a click, but then I move the steering wheel left to right and and the Xterra will start. Any thoughts? Appreciate you.
Cool shirt! You have merch for sale?
how do i get the fat electrical cable off that has rubber boot connected to starter? please help
Hey Ry…today we stopped for gas in our 05 pathfinder and afterwards it would not start. Just a simple 1 click from the starter thats it. Battery/connections are good , starter fuse/really also good. Im assuming just replace the starter correct? Idk what else it could be… I bought one and will tackle the job in the gas station parking lot tomorrow lol yay!
You should include the model year in the title.
This video really helped me do the job. Thanks Ry!
Hello RY I have Nissan Xterra 2008 i replaced the Battery but still it will not start .It does not even crank the engine can you help me
My starter seems fine but i think the solenoid is going out as it sometimes wont engage. Is it possible to just replace the solenoid or is it all a single assembly?
We have a 2006 Nissan Xterra that has no crank no start it did this after getting oil changed it only clicks
Hey I have a question: I went to the auto store for a starter replacement for my 2005 Nissan Frontier. I replaced it and the wire connection clamp doesn’t click in. I have a crank no start. Is this a potential reason for it? – thanks when you answer.
Mine went out this morning, I'm so glad I found your video
Where did you get the grill/nissan emblem? Beautiful.
Thanks for the video! I have to do this job on my frontier and I was honestly expecting it to be a nightmare
Hey Ry I did replace the battery and starter of my 08 xterra won’t start can you give advice thanks a lot
I just ordered a new one and will be doing this next week, thanks for the informative and brief vid!
Thanks Mate!
Thank you for the info and the vid was excellent ours is a 2007 X 92ooo and still same starter crazy as it may seem but no b s will look forward for your other tubes on the X
Do you have to lift the car to reach the starter?
I can't believe you keep putting out videos right before I need them. Today I didn't even go to TheNewX first, I just searched your channel and sure enough you just put out a video I needed. I'm now at 249,400 miles and my original starter has finally gotten "iffy" enough that I'm going to go ahead and get it rebuilt. So…..I guess I need to buy you a Jeep Grand Cherokee so you will put out awesome videos for it so I will be covered in case I trade my X for one in the next 3-4 years. I need more tow capacity than Xterra has, but refuse to drive a giant truck I cant take on the trails in the San Juan mountains. Anyway, thanks AGAIN. You are a huge resource to the Nissan community.
Thanks for the vid Ry! perfect timing as mine is going out in our xterra as well, your videos have been helping us out a ton
How many miles on the x now?
i did my lift like you did yours. my LCA bolts are seized up so i cant put those camber bolts in. any tips?
How do I check the fuel pressure? I can't find a schrader valve.
