DIY NISSAN NO START FREE FIX FOR ARMADA/PATROL
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Over the last few months of owning our new Armada we have been super happy with our purchase. The much more upscale interior, the more modern exterior design, and of course the POWER!!! But recently it was been getting on our nerves. It would occasionally not start the first time we pressed the start button, we didn't really think anything of it at first as we would just try again and it would start just fine. However this started happening more frequently and eventually would take more than one attempt to start. It got to the point where it would happen at least once a day and although it never actually left us stranded I thought I should look into it before we really got stuck somewhere. When this issue would happen I noticed that you also couldn't move the gear lever despite holding the brake down with the key on, I checked the tail lights and and sure enough they wouldn't come on either. so now I had a pretty good idea where to start looking. I hope this video helps you guys out if you're having a similar issue as this was pretty easy fix at no cost. Hope you enjoy and please Subscribe for more Content. Thanks! Arigato! Gracias! Merci!

I’m so grateful for your video. I’m having the same issue with our 2018 Armada and the BCI error code came on but of course, when I took it to the dealer, it started up ok and they couldn’t diagnose it. You were able to pinpoint the root cause being the brake switch. Thx to you and your wife!
Glad we were able to help and that it worked for you Rodolfo!
Did the bci error go away also? We are having the same issue just got the part. Going to clean the old one also to have just in case
Thank you for showing us the the solution. Immense Thanks.
I’m having the same issue, it’s so nerve racking, thanks for sharing.💯you Rock!
Thanks, bud. You are a life saver. We got stranded at Costco today. Our 2018 Armada would not start. We thought we had a dead batter, but everything turned on.... windows, radio, horn, and lights. The Push-Start would just cycle between OFF, ACC, and ON but never crank over. No clicks.... totally quiet. It wasn't the key fob battery. I checked through all the fuses in the cabin and under the hood.
Finally checked the brake relay switch. Took it off and fiddled with it. The Armada started up right away. I'll give it a good cleaning/adjustment when I get home for free. If not, I can order the replacement part. I see it going for $30 online.
Yeahhh getting stranded is no fun, I hope you didnt buy any icecream and had it melt on you lol. I hope the fix helps you as well and saves you $30 👍🏻
Where can you buy the switch? Having exact issue with my 2019 Nissan Armada
Do you have a link for the part ?
Thanks man !!! It helped my car and im taking straight to the Nissan dealership.
Thanks for the video. Got my wife’s car up and running in about 15 minutes. You gotta new sub
My man! I had the same issues with my wife's 2019 Armada. I took out the switch, cleaned it just like you did and we haven't had a problem since. Been about a month now, no issues. Thanks!
Nice! Glad to hear it worked and it's been good since
My 2017 Titan is having same issues 😢 im at work rn and dreading after work not starting but at least I have you vid to help🎉 big thanks in advance. I will follow up ✌🏼
Bro I was about to replace everything!!! After watching this video, I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and my car started right up!!! I was about to change out the whole ABS system and everything related to it which would’ve been a lot of work. 2017 Nissan Armada. Thanks!!! Your girl is pretty hilarious on this video, just saying!
Thanks man! Glad it helped you out, it's a pretty simple problem but its definitely irritating when it happens. Cool we have an Armada too 😁 And yeah she can be a 🤡 sometimes LOL!
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! Thank you! I looked through some many videos and no problem solving… you rocked my friend!🤟
Glad we could help 😁
Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot with my truck, it saved me a lot of money
Glad it helped 🙏🏻
Dude, life saver. Many thanks for posting this video. Saved me a pile of money and a nervous breakdown. 😅
Glad it helped you out! And it seems to last a while too. Since I posted that video i had zero issues up until about 6 months ago when i cleaned it out again and it's still going.
I’m very grateful to you for your video and the time you took. I just bought 2017 armada and it had this issu. My armada let me in the middle or the forest.. 110 km to my dealer...they changed the battery but it was still starting randomly and witth hesitation. I took the switch apart and boom the same thing as in you video. One of the contact was dark. I just cleaned it with sand paper and polished it a bit with touth paste and bingo..it starts strong.
Thanks a lot again for your help!!!😀
That's awesome! Glad to hear we were able to help! That would have been one expensive tow back to civilization 😅
You’re the best, your information and your video saved me $500
Thanks
They told me the alternator is bad 😂
No problem! Alternator is always getting a bad rep 😅
Thanks, same with my wife 2017 armada. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Saludos 👋🏻
Just fixed my wife's 2020 Armada! Thatnks brooooooo and ma'am!
Thank you for adding your comment! I have the 2020, purchased in March 2023 and having the issue! Flustered! Look like I might have hope.
Thank you for the video. Having the same issue, and yes the issue is not consistent enought to take to the dealer....wth Nissan.
I have this problem on my 17 Pathfinder and 18 Armada. Every few months just decides to not work and at the most unfortunate times. Nissan really needs to fix this. Thanks for the video.
Thank you both. What a relief.
The dealer workshop said if it's a brake switch the cost is $750.
Glad to save you some cash 🙌🏼
Man this is so helpful mine only acts up every now and again I have a 2019 with 52000 miles dealer wants $350 I took mine off and cleaned it all up.
Glad it helped!
Lemme tell y'all, Garage23 knows his stuff. Ours was in the shop over a year ago for like 2 weeks getting a brake switch replaced and a new battery! At that time told them, I believe the Alternator is acting funky, yada..yada... Well the No Start just showed up again 2 days ago...was just getting ready to walk out the door for a replacement alternator and begin my knuckle bustin day, when I stumbled across this vid and in the comments read from Garage23 to UNPLUG the small wire going to negative battery terminal to apparently disable the "Smart" alternator. Bingo, we gots a winner, it hasn't charged this good since we purchased the vehicle. EXCELLENT GARAGE23, THANKS FOR THE INSIGHT!!
Awesome! Thanks for commenting and letting us know it helped 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for this information. I was having this problem with my 2018 Titan. Checked the brake relay switch and it doesn’t appear to need replacing but had merely been slightly dislodged. “Clicked” it back into place and problem appears to be solved.
Glad it was an easier fix for you 👍🏻
I’ve dealt with this issue with my 2017 Armada platinum since approx 15,000 miles and now still at 60,000 miles. While under warranty, dealership said it was “something with the brake system” said they fixed it and within 5 mths, same thing all over again. NEVER know when it’s gonna leave me stranded 😑 Like right now and 1.5 hrs away from home Ughh!
Thanks a lot , i have QX80 2019, i have almost same issue , every 4-6 months i have to replace battery although some times test show battery is good! Last 3 days every time i stop the can must jumpstart with external battery , today i went to electrician and once he did battery test can start and no issue at all! Computer test show no issue but again now time to time not start although all lights work on !
I will try to do the same and see how it will work
*Car
That's probably the "smart" alternator. You need to disconnect the small plug on the negative battery terminal and leave it disconnected. That should make all your battery issues go away.
@@Garage23 currently the car not start and all lights working as well once i press brake paddle bake brake lights are lighting! Dose this mean brake switch have no issue?
@@ahmedalharrasi5983 Could still be the brake switch, our tail lights still worked when the car didn't start.
My 2019 Armada does this once every month but it won't turn over or barely does. I jump it off first time no problem but test shows nothing wrong with battery or starter. Its a big inconvenience
Has happened to both my '17 and '18.
What's the latest latest update on this fix
Cuz I've also done this fix by replacing the brake switch, but still have the same issue of the switch acting up at times
Thanks 🙏
Still haven't had any issues since this video was posted. Are you sure it's the brake switch? If you don't get the "BCI malfunction" on the screen then it might be the smart alternator draining the battery.
Literally have same year armada and exact same problem, is your vehicle still operating properly?
sort of, it started acting up again about 3 months ago but I just cleaned the switch again and it's fine. The fix lasted since the date this video was posted so i think that's pretty good.
Will this fix work on my skateboard?
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
I have a 2020 armada it crank over but no start. Said it was my starter any ideas?
Starting issues on Armadas always come down to either the smart charginf system, or the brake switch. So i would start with cleaning the switch as in this video as it is the cheapest option, or just replacing it all together. Next would be the smart charging system, to disable this you need to unplug the sensor attached to the negative battery terminal. This will keep the system at 14.5 volts instead of variable. There is a chance the battery is bad so have it tested and replace if needed.
What's the latest update on this fix?
It's been 7 months and still going strong, haven't had to take it back out and clean it again 👍🏻
@@Garage23 Awesome! side note i did find on the forums to disconnect the variable voltage sensor that controls how often it charges up the batter (gray battery clip on negative terminal), that helps with much stronger startups in case. But glad you posted this. Sub'd for all the other great content too.
Dealing with the same thing on a 2013 Qx56. I've been clearing out codes with my obd scanner, eve there aren't any codes, then starts right up. Will try swapping the brake switch, thanks man!
@@kdtxtoolreviews1084 right! Thats a seperate issue all together but can also leave you stranded. I unfortunately bought a new battery before finding out about that plug.
What’s that switch called?
Should just be called a brake pedal switch.
Helo guys. I have that problem with my 2018 armada
Que tiene?
Si es el mismo problema, trate de limpiar ese switch o remplazarlo de completo.
