    Had this very issue on my 2001 Pathfinder recently. I replaced the relay, but the intermittent starting returned. Finally decided to pull the starter itself and replace. Wasn't too difficult, a couple hours or so. The new starter fixed the problem 100%. The issue hasn't happened since.

    I thought I was having the same problem as you, but now I think my problem might be something else. Sometimes mine will start right up, other times it will make a clicking sound and then finally start. I've replaced the starter and alternator and the battery is good. Have you had similar issues? Mine has 240,000 miles on it.

    If automatic? There should be a clicking sound coming from the gear shift area, as you turn the vehicle from acc. position, to on position. That's normal.... If no click, then maybe neutral/park shift mechanism needs to be changed out... Just a thought. 2001 pathfinder

    @@cristhian4160 No. What happened, my car wouldn't start and it had to do with a switch behind the battery that was preventing power to get to the starter. Something like that. So what the mechanics did was just bypass that switch and just hardwired it to the battery. It's been awhile, but I believe that's what they did. It's been starting fine ever since. Hope that helps.

    Not so fast. Avoid getting a new part which they won't take back because you opened it and installed it, only to find it didn't help. Suggest diagnostic to find the true problem. Either the neutral safety switch, or something in the column is most likely the culprit.
