How to Test and Confirm if the Starter is bad on a Nissan Armada or Nissan Titan.

Quick and easy way to troubleshoot and confirm using only a jumper wire if the starter is why your Nissan is not starting the engine. If it is the starter I listed one in the description.

I'm extremely grateful I seen this video before I changed my starter. I tried it about 6 times. It clicked every time so I know it's the starter, but the video definitely gave me a lot more confidence on my issue. Thank you!

I have a 2013 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve…

Thank you so much for this video!!! I was not looking forward to a DIY starter replacement. I made myself a jump wire and did this test and sure enough the starter is fine.

A couple things I learned…

-the first gray harness you find isn’t the starter relay…it’s a fuel injector plug. I’m sure many of you would have known this. For those that don’t, count four gray harnesses from engine front then keep following the wire loom towards the firewall. Beyond the last injector is the harness he shows in this video.

Second, when I tried to touch it off on the battery I used the post and it wouldn’t do anything. I had to use the screw at the top of the attached to the red wire box on the lightening cable (dunno what it’s really called). Sure enough it turned over just fine.

For my vehicle I found another video that talks about the part I’ve linked. It’s up under your dash directly behind the ignition. It’s 16 bucks on Amazon and you can’t find it at part stores (they want you to replace the whole ignition ($$$$). Even Amazon will say it doesn’t fit if you’re using their garage. Search “nissan part 48750-0m010” and it’ll pop up.

Jesus Christ, literally... thank you Jesus. People like you are so amazing. Thank you very much! Best auto help video I've watched yet!!!

Wow. Thank you so much. I made a nice long alligator clip wire just like in the video, and my Armada tried to start with every contact. So I must have a relay or other problem. I would 100% have taken the starter replacement route first, had I not found your video. Thank you again!

Bravo- mine positive was not tight enough and i could move the connection . Took negative cable off and cleaned engine and battery side .

Thank you.
I have a 2008 Titan with 199, 000 miles. Little things are starting to go but enough for me to fix. Like clock spring, heater-ac temp control, column shift button for manual shift. These things are involved to fix and get to but not expensive; just time.

[Etheoify]

Wow, thanks for sharing. Saved a few $$$ by testing the starter first

Thank you! I really did NOT want to pull the intake. My starter worked fine with your test. I still need to figure out why it won’t start but at least I know it’s not the starter.
