2005 Maxima - Trouble Starting Vehicle
|
Sign In

I have a 2005 Nissan Maxima. I went to start my car today and can't get it to start. The battery appears to be fine. The lights come on, the radio works, etc. But when I turn the key, I just hear a very rapid clicking sound. When I turn the key back to OFF, I can hear a softer and shorter clicking sound from the dash area. Along with this 2nd sound, the interior lights blink about 10-11 times.
Any clues?
Thanks,
|

Sounds like a dead battery. Have it charged and tested.

Thx......so yeah, the battery is good. I'm not that great at all with cars, but what characterists would having a bad starter, alternator, or a faulty security system show? I would have to think it's one of these three suspects.

How do you know this battery is good? This smacks of a bad battery or connections so far. Just because a couple lights work means little, they have to be charged and load tested,

Did you take it out and have it charged and tested or not?

Thx for the help.
So here's the story. I took the battery to a friend's house who has an old tester. It was a Walmart MAXX battery and was only 18 months old. He said the battery tested OK. So I came home and kept thinking about it. That's when I mentioned above that it was OK.
But after reading your later comments, it sounded like it really was the battery. I took it to Walmart and their testing equipment showed it being bad. They replaced it for free and I was on my way. They claimed that there has been a rash of bad batteries from mid-2010.
Thx for the help....it's greatly appreciated.
