How do i replace starter on 1994 Nissan Sentra?

Question

Put key in ignition, but motor won't turn. Don't think its the battery. Where is the starter located? How do i go about replacing it? how do i know if its the starter that giving me the problem and not something else?

Answer 1

I'm not sure on an automatic transmission (although it is likely the same location) but on the manual transmission vehicle, the start is located off the transmission housing.

You might want to check a few other areas before ripping out the starter though.
- When you turn the key, do any electrical features work (head lights, radio, etc...)?
- Have you tried jumping the battery?
- Have you checked the fuses in the fuse panel for a blown fuse?

On my 1985 Sentra, I had a problem with the key assembly so that the contacts didn't touch (basically the assembly was worn out). I can't recall the exact method my father showed me but I was able to set the key to the "on" position and touch a wire from the battery to one of the posts on the starter to bypass the faulty key assembly until I bought a new assembly. NOTE: If you try this, make sure the car is in neutral or it will move on you.

it's attached to the transmission housing. I got the same problem before and the culprit was just a loose battery terminal. If you're a Filipino, check out my source.
