SX is dead....

mmario_200sx08 Jun 2008, 08:34

Well, last nite I get in my SX to go and meet up with the other SX okes and my car doesnt want to start! I drove her 10min before that!

Anyway, igniton comes on, all of the lights come on, even the alarm goes off! But it doesnt make a sound when I turn the key.

The starter doesnt turn at all. It didnt give any problems before with starting. No funny starter noises or anything...

Any clues?

turn your radio down

fuse/relay?

woman at work had same thing the other day, i found the starter power cable was loose (im thinking the sx ground cable is suspect, or you got it wet)
(otherwise tap starter with hard object - might be stuck)

switch lights on and then turn key - see if lights dim excessively or not at all

bump start car
