Does it have an aftermarket alarm system or remote start system?

OK, that's a clutch switch.
It provides a ground for the relay.

Your car could have a security system locking out the starter too.

Again, you don't have a neutral switch. You can jump the clutch switch by jumping the black and red wire to ground to bypass that.

no alarm system.


How do you know that?

Re: nissan sentra will not start Sign In

car did not come with an alarm from factory and no aftermarket one has been installed. is there a circuit that blocks power to the starter syliond ? just seems weird that it just stopped starting, you know. it ran fine, turned it off. now will not start with the key. push starts right up. just weird hate to take it to a shop.

You don't know that.

If it is equipped with a factory immobilizer, there will be nothing obvious other that a small security teltale that could be as simple as a single LED in a remote spot.

See if there is a relay plugged in inside the relay box under the hood in the position circled.
