Nissan Altima Starter Replacement & How to Test Starter 2.5 2007-2013 

This has to be the best camera work I've ever seen on one of these mechanic video's. Thank you for that. It's looking like my starter motor is done, I just get rapid clicking and no turning over when I try to start it. Thankfully it's dead in my driveway. Charging up the battery to make sure that's not the issue.

just saved my friend a couple hundred dollars since i was able to do the job for him thanks to your vid, straight to the point thanks brother

Glad to see you can do this without taking the battery/tray and computer out. You just saved me so much time.

This video is so amazing. 90% of the video I watch on how to repair stuff have an insane amount of rambling and not getting to the point. You do a great job sticking to pertinent information, your camera angles are great and you don't skip over any steps. I now feel confident enough to attempt to replace mine. 💪

Your video is to the point, and detailed, thank you for that. I did continuity tests on every fuse and the starter was the last item on the list. Funny thing though the video made it look like there was more room than there actually is.

Just replaced my starter for the first time today with my dad. This video is amazing and did a great job explaining and showing the steps. Getting into the hood of an altima was a nightmare though because there's little room to work with.

Only video that I have been able to find exact location, I've looked trust me. Tomorrow I'm trying to tap it down with a metal stick if not still removing it myself to get it checked out.. Lol can't help to hear the roosters in the back must be LA or San Bernardino. Never the less great video thank you!!

This is an excellent video. This is exactly the symptom my '08 showed today. Gonna test it real quick and order the starter after confirming the original is dead (wouldn't be surprised, it's 15 years old/205,000 miles). Thanks!

My car has exactly the same thing and right now it's been waiting for almost 2weeks and they still haven't found the problem yet to order a new starter, I'm thinking about doing it myself it's getting really ennoying for a job so greatly and easy explained by you!

Camera trick was magnificent

Thanks you! Your guide was a big help!

Very thorough, excellent!! Thank you.

awesome!!! video right to the point to bull thank you you will make my life easy when i do it in a few days

Thanks for this post.Though I wont do the replacement myself, at least I know what it involves.

Good video and good editing!

Excellent video helped me to get my car running again.

Thank you buddy ! Nice video ! You saved my day !

Thanks for the video. very helpful. How do I know if it is the starter or the brake switch? I have seen a number of videos and links saying the same symptoms could be from a brake switch issue. I replaced my brake switch same issue remains (lights on, no start). I think it may be the starter, or maybe a fuse? The battery is new.. Thank you again!

Was helpful, I think I have the same issue, nothing happened when pushing the start button only noise in the fuse box but the fuses are ok although and the battery is ok. Ignition could recognize.

Thanks for the video.

Great video and I liked the rooster

thanks for guide!!

hi bro, thx for the video, would u recommend this car? ive found a Nissan Altima 2007 2.5 SL, but ive red a lot about the CVT transmission, everybody says is one of the worst, the car i want to buy is over 90K kIlom. thk u so much for ur time

Can you change the starter from under the car? Or does it have to be from the top?

Supper helpful thanks

What brand of power probe did you use in this video?

Thank you heavenly you doing God's work must appreciated

So I changed my starter on a Sunday night and it cranked on and went out on a Monday afternoon and it did the same thing does it mean I have a faulty starter ?

Going todo this on Saturday

This is good I think mine is going bad or maybe is my battery going bad but if it is the starter now I know

Quick question will this procedure work on a manual 08 Altima my car revs and wants to start but won’t I can feel it rumble like it wants to. Atleast from my research of the starter it was more expensive than the automatic starter so just wanted clarity thanks!! Angles is crazy tho

Nicely done ✅ new sub keep great content coming

Hello i have a 2012 nissan Maxima. Im sure i have A starter issue. But im not sure bc i have orange key light on the dash.A friend told me that the light will apear when it has a bad starter or alternator. Any ideas will help thank yall!

Would you recommend working from underneath the car for a non mechanic

For anyone who has already done this I have a big question. How did you get to the starter? I know where it’s at, but it’s in a tight area and my hand is way too big to get there comfortably or even at all to even begin to take the starter out. I can see in the video that he puts his hand in and is able to get in out with ease, but that has not been the case for me. Please and thank you

Does this apply to a 2016 Nissan Altima ? Or would the placement of the bolts be different? And also did you use a screwdriver to bridge it or is that another tool ?

Could I have the same starter part for a 2010 Nissan Altima and what exactly is the part called ?

Will you know advance if starter is getting bad?

Thanks fam💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Спасибо Вам!

Shit I wish I had this model. I have the 2014 and it’s not as easy to reach. So far all I’ve managed to do is lose 2 sockets and scratch up my hand. You took that thing off like nothing.

Will this be the same for a 2017 Nissan Altima?

would this work for a 2015 Altima? 2.5L

Thanks

Hello Friend. I am going to change the starter of my altima 07, I saw that you disconnected the negative pole of the battery. Is the car deprogrammed or do I have to put a memory saver obd2 on it ?. thanks

Does anyone know the size of those two bolts?

T h a n k you sir 👍

So I got new starter installed but still won’t crank???

where can i buy a new starter

I have a question and I'm hoping you have an answer. Im no mechanic by any means. I'm pretty sure my Nissan Altima 08 went into lockout mode. I took out the anti theft thing in the steering wheel, placed a while and am holding it down with a bolt. Before my car wouldn't even turn on, now it turns on but won't start. I then thought it was the starter, so I replaced that and my Nissan Altima 08 still will not start up. It turns on but won't start. What could it be?!?! Any help is appreciated.

Is it not required to use a torque wrench on the mounting bolts? So do you just tighten them until you feel it’s secure?

Can a 07 Nissan Altima startrr fit on a 05 Nissan Altima 2.5

Would it be easier to put the car on a lift and take the starter off under the car?

2009 Nissan Altima

excellent bud, thanks

Is it easier to take drivers side wheel and dust cover off and go in from there or do you think it’s easy enough to go in from the top. Just looks so tight even getting a multimeter onto the posts to test it.

looks like you put a lot of pressure on the radiator hose when you bent it.

So I have an 2007 nissan Altima 2.5 cvt......it has a brand new battery and alternator. I drove it around and then it sat for maybe a week. I went back out to drive today and nothing. I haven't changed the starter yet but, there is no juice in the car what so ever. 🤷

Ok

Starter was a pain to get to

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Ringo Star?

We'renyou under the car or working from the top

Your father named Ringo?
