Just got my FD back from the shop yeaterday. I was all silly happy because it hasn't been running in over 4 years. Drove it home an hour and a half from the shop and all was perfect!!! Drove it all day!!

Well....this morning I get in it to show off at work ... turn the key ... and NOTHING!!!

Doesn't start!

All the power comes on... radio, lights, sensors, ... But when I turn the key to start it nothing happens. Lights don't dim... No clicking... just nothing...

Since I haven't driven it in years, I was wondering if there was something stupid that I missed...

Any Ideas??? Even VERY simplistic ones....

I would really not like to have to get it towed an hour and a half away back to the shop I just drove it home from!!!

Thanks....

Ohhh... It has gas... Clutch was depressed... and I stopped and started it a number of times yesterday without any problems...

 

Could be your starter solenoid. Mine started acting this way, but it was usually when the car was HOT. Might be the clutch switch, but I'm just not sure. Anyone else??

 

My sentra did that. It was a bearing in the starter that got worn out and wasn't letting the starter do its thing.

 

This happened to me as well. In my case, it was an extremely dirty connection at the negative battery terminal. I celaned the terminal, bought a new clamp, and it never happened again.

 

jump start it. That happened to me the other day, my car was sitting for 3 weeks and batt was dead. Jumped it, let it run for 1/2 hr. now it starts up fine. i know it sounds dumb but that was my situation

 

If you're not even hearing a click, it's probably your clutch switch. If you follow the clutch pedal up, you'll see a place where it bows out and there's a switch behind there. There should be a little plastic insert on the pedal that depresses that switch when you push the clutch in. If it's missing, that's your problem.

 

Start small and easy, check battery to see if its dead. Check grounding, then I would look at the starter, and the alt.

 

how bought talk to the shop that did the work.

 

i agree
