Sentra GXE 2002 Won't Start

timatoman · Sep 18th, 2004, 07:56 PM

Periodically, my 2002 Sentra GXE will not start. It does not turn over. After trying to start it many times, I give up. Then, I go back later and it starts right up. The dealer can not find anything wrong. It normally happens after sitting for a couple of days. The problem is intermittent and only happens when I really need to go somewhere.

clean the battery terminals and put vasoline on them.

also, make sure all the recalls have been done.

The battery and terminals are good. All recalls have been done. The dealer can not find anything wrong with the electrical system. Can the starter fail on an intermitten basis?

make sure all the recalls on the car are done before they attempt to fix anything. also you should still be under warranty?
