Auto Mechanics of the OT, need help with 2017 Titan starting issue.
Posted on 8/17/26 at 8:27 am
Posted on 8/17/26 at 8:27 am
My 2017 Nissan Titan SV is having an intermittent starting problem. I have a new battery, battery posts are not corroded, and have replaced the brake pedal switch. I push the start button and nothing happens. I do not hear any clicking noise at all, especially not from the starter.
Anyone have any idea or came across this issue before and found the correct fix? TIA

Did you fill the blinker fluid?

Is the dash lighting up? What was it doing prior to this. Did the battery die then you had issues?
More info would be helpful

No dumbarse. Im mechanically inclined on vehicle maintenance, just not with electrical issues. There no warning or check engine light on instrument panel.

Dash lights up like its going to crank. Bought the truck used in March. Battery was old so thought it may have been bad. Got in truck this morning to change my oil and it won't start.

Would a bad starter at least make a clicking sound?

We had a 2017 Armada the starter went out one day with zero warning.
Pulled up at a gas pump shut the car off got gas. Went to turn it on and absolutely nothing happening. Press the button, nothing.
For what it’s worth the start is a real pain in the arse on those vehicles to change.

Transmission shifter linkage adjustment? Try starting in Neutral position.

not neccessarily.

My Titan does the same thing, especially on hot days. I have not been able to id a cause or find any useful information on line, but mine has done this for probably 5 years.

Does that darn thing have a computer module between the battery and the starter ?
Has it been in a flood before you bought it ?

Have had similar issues in the past, below are the solutions from least intrusive to most intrusive I've found to be the issue.
1. Battery going dead in key fob or bad key fob. If you have a spare key see if having that one fixes the issue.
2.Bad/corroded starter relay. Pop the hood and swap the starter relay with another similar relay in the fuse box when it's not starting, or just buy a new one and swap it to see if that is it. If it's not it, then at least you have a spare relay that most likely would work for several in the box.
3. Bad/loose ground. Check the ground going to the block, make sure the cable, and connection are not loose or corroded.
4. Completely failed solenoid, or bad spot on the starter motor.
5. Bad switch - either ignition or neutral switch. If lights and radio don't come on when you press the ignition button this could be the issue.

Almost assuredly your starter.
In the first gen, that starter is underneath the intake manifold, sitting in the vertex of the V-8. It's a cast iron bitch to change due to the location of the bolts, and the need to regasket the manifold.
Starters can go out without warning. You may not hear a click at all. If I'm in your shoes, I'm counting on replacing that immediately. 10 year old truck, it likely needs to be replaced anyway.

The starters are notorious for going out in these 5.6 L engines beginning around 140-160k miles. And they are a hassle to replace. The intake manifold has to come off to get to it. I've had to put one on ours. Don't cheap out and go reman on it. Buy a Nissan one. That way you won't have to go back into it 30k miles later and do it again. Ask me how I know.

Where the cable bolts to the block, or where it bolts to the inner fender.
quote:
The negative battery ground cable on a Nissan Titan connects the negative battery post to the inner fender/body and down to the engine block or frame rail.
Corrosion or loose bolts here cause hard starts, dim lights, and random electrical codes like U1000.
Replacement OEM cables cost about $60 to $100 depending on the model year.
Location of Ground PointsBattery to Fender: The main negative cable runs directly from the battery terminal to a grounding spot on the inner fender or body close to the battery tray.
Engine/Frame Block: A branch or secondary section of the cable leads down to anchor securely onto the engine block or frame rail to complete the high-current circuit for the starter.

If your main is inner fender then check that one first. I would honestly check both just to rule it out.

Did it just start doing this with the new battery?

Ask AI, it will push you in the right direction.
