In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the starter on a Nissan titan. Years 2004 through 2015. If you have a Nissan Armada or Infiniti QX56 quip did with the 5.6 L V8 engine these procedures will be the same. This starter replacement is a little more difficult than your average vehicle, unfortunately the intake manifold is required to be removed in order to gain access to the starter. This video shows the steps in tips to get the job done easily. Below are a list of tools and parts that you will need when replacing the starter. I hope this video helps you out if it has please like and subscribe. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you for watching

Just finished replacing the starter on my 05’ Titan. This is the biggest project I’ve ever taken on by myself. I felt confident after watching this video. Great instruction I appreciate you taking the time.
I left mine to the pro's...my shop only charged me 302.00 for new starter and 350.00 for labor...I have 2 herniated lower disc's...ugh!
Yeah I just finished watching a video showing you how to reset the flashing airbag light...save some bucks there woo hoo!
How long did it take u , tm wise
I'm about to be doing this job on my 05 titan. It looks pretty intimidating but at the same time it looks pretty easy, how long did it take you to do yours?
My 2004 waited 20 years but it finally got me. Your video was spot on. Thanks for the help.
what is the milage of your titan? i have a 2005 with 96k miles and thinking to do it before it got me >.

Hey brother, I have a 04 with 236K and I believe it’s almost time for a new starter, today didn’t want to start, it was just a clicking sound, battery is fine, relays are good, so I believe it’s going to be the starter. 20 years, no bad at all.
This is a great tutorial for the DIYer. I did it on my 2010 Armada. Just one tip: It is unnecessary to remove the fuel line and the booster line. Both have enough slack, and you can carefully lay the intake sideways to the right. Save yourself time and money.
Thank you so much for this tip... now I feel like I can do it tomorrow
This video was extremely helpful, I swapped out my starter but it didn’t go nearly as smooth as it did in the video but it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and make the repair! Thank you!!
Thank you! I successfully replaced a starter in a 2015 Armada this weekend. Took about 3.5 hours in total only because I was trying to be as careful as possible. I used a swivel socket extension on a 24" flexible head breaker bar to loosen the bolts on the starter. Didn't think the double swivel contraption would give me enough torque, since it was essentially making a U shape, but it did!
This job looks so nerve racking. Don’t want to mess up. This video with your expertise and explanation makes me confident. Don’t want to spend 6-700 dollars on a job I can do myself.
Just replaced my starter in 2006 Nissan Titan thanks to your detailed video. Much appreciated🫡
This has to be the best mechanic instructional video I’ve ever seen. So simple and to the point. Thanks so much! Great job
Thanks for making this video on behalf of myself and 354k others. We appreciate you !!!!!
So much for the days of going under the ride and changing the starter from bottom. What a pile of time and work with the newer models!
agreed
Just wanted to say thanks!! This is the third video of yours that has helped keep my Titan rolling. Your videos are among the best I've seen on TH-cam. You rock!
Replacing a alternator on a 2015 titan S tomorrow, look's like it's going to be as much fun as this. Great Video!
My son and I just finished this job on my 2005 Titan. Your video was indispensable! Please find a gratuity from me in your PayPal account and spend it wisely, like on a 6 pack of decent beer. Thanks!
Just finished replacing mine. Followed ur instructions as shown, if i can do it anybody can.
Hola
Oye que fuel size usastes
I’m taking mine to you.
Thanks for this video! I watched to see your method of removing the intake manifold. I'm planning on grafting an ls7 snout onto my manifold. Disconnecting the evap hose and unbolting it from the bracket is so much quicker. A ton of other videos show you leaving it on and dealing with extra nonsense to deal with. I always watch your videos before tackling a project with my Titan. Thanks for these videos!
Aaron I’ve wrenched all of my 50 yrs of life I also do restomods but it’s really nice to be able to watch an extremely well done video on with excellent tips and instruction on these newer vehicles from some like yourself I could have figured it out on my own but you saved me so much time by showing the job with all extra tricks
Very clear instructions. Keep up the good work. Now, I'm going to go replace bad starter on my 04 Titan. Thanks
thank you for your support!
Fixed my truck. Directions worked great.
@@michaelmartocci5149 right, first time I have ever seen one on top of the engine.
Z jazz
Why tf is the starter even there?
Because engineers hate mechanics
It’s a common spot really, and real mechanics aren’t phased by that
@@clutchkick0056 hell yeah brother u should become an auto technician instead of a mechanic
Just replaced mine yesterday and thanks to this great video, it was a success. Thanks.
Thank you, Aaron. Love watching your videos. You make it look so easy....and it is once you are shown how it's done. You have saved a lot of us quite a bit of money. Thank you again.
Wow I’m a mechanic and I watched another video and that guy made this job seem so hard lmao where as you made it seem very easy. Crazy
Very good video. It was a few bolts in the back which was a little hard to get but if you get that far a person will know what to do. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. The operation was very successful.
Fixed my 05, thank you for the easy step by step guide.
Just replaced my starter on my 04 and this video helped a lot thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for the video. Just completed a 2012 and you are right, Caught hell with the breakaway torque from the factory on those two bolts, with no leverage and a wrench. A 14mm dog bone would have been the ticket. Thanks again!
11:17 Word to the wise: Verify the length of the solenoid wire before installing the new starter. Some aftermarket starters come with the lead about 2" shorter, and it WILL NOT reach the mating connector. So be sure to graft on additional length from old starter, before bolting in new starter unit.
Thank you for the tip, checked mine before bolting in. Also, don’t buy a torque wrench from harbor freight, bought one brand new just for this job and it wouldn’t click at any set torque.
Just finished my second job using your helpful video. It took me a while, but I have a new starter. Make sure you use plastic fuel line removal tools! But great video.
had to look at this video because it's the same on our 2008 nissan armada.. so much work. my 84 silverado was just so easy
I’m going to replace mine on my 2008 Titan I really appreciate the video you made I’m gonna save this if I run into a problem I will inbox you
Seems to me very informative and detailed. Thank you for posting this video.
Thank you for sharing this video! My Armada is having the same symptom.
Mine is doing the exact same thing I have 187000 miles on it
Great video, but I have to say, the best part was that moment you remembered the booster hose😂😂😂 it happens to us all...
Looks ez. I have an 06 Nissan armada that been given me starting issues. It has about 180k. Called local mechanic shop and just labor only is almost 400 plus I would need to buy part. I think I will follow your step by step instructions and try to save me some money. This video is very helpful thanks again..
ya it seems harder then it is!
@@AaronHinesAuto thanks. Yeah imma work on it this Sunday. Cross my fingers and wish for the best 😁👍. Thanks again.
I’m doing this job this weekend I feel like I can do it with this video !!! I’m proably gonna have a few moments like you had at 15:35 mark but I feel like that’s every job with me lol
im about to change my starter on my 2004 Nizzan Armada i hv no idea how to start.. but thank you bro for good video it help me big time 🙏🙏💯👌👌
Thank you for this video I feel I can tackle this job now ! Thanks for sharing
Going to work on my 05 titan tomorrow this is was a big help thank you
I must say you the best I did my mom car you most definitely help me save money keep up the good work
Great tips and very clear steps, thanks Aaron for the efforts making this video.
Thanks for the video. I just did mine yesterday with your video as reference. Except everything that looked easy on video seemed to be a pain in the butt on my truck.😂😂
Awesome! Good to hear
Thank you Aaron for an Awesome Video! I have a 2005 Infiniti Qx56 with the same motor. Your video was a life saver and a time saver! Thx for all the nut size references. If I may add a couple of tips.....When putting in the intake manifold bolts, I used a Flexible 36in Claw tool Grabber and placed the 4 hooks over the bolts so I wouldn't lose them and it worked great! Also, you were right about using a 1/2 ratchet but use the long, flexible head style. You will now be able to take the stupid bolts out with ease! Lastly, WD40 did nothing but I switched to Liquid Wrench and OMG, it worked within 15 min! I did change the gaskets also. Once the starter was installed, it was easy, peasy to put it back together. Best yet? It saved me $800 bucks by doing it myself and it starts right up! Thx again!
So funny how every youtube video looks so easy when its def not.. Not one thing "just slides right out" or just pulls out.. Its a straight hassle but its great things go so smoothly for everyone making videos.
Amazing what experience can help you accomplish 😂
Best video of this job yet. Thank you so much. Will be doing this using your video for play bu play
Awesome! Thank you!
@@AaronHinesAuto how do you start it to clean the fuel rails if the starter is out?
Great video, sent you a paypal tip for the help. The starter bolts were hard to remove mostly due to being so far back and I could not generate enough leverage to break them. After laying across the engine and saying a few bad words I got it. I see you have a lot of great content. I am subscribing.
Wow man. Thank you so much! What a blessing. I’m glad you found some help from the videos. Those bolts are no joke!!
This is my go to guy for working on my Armada! I feel confident that if I follow his instructions I can do a lot of the work I need to on my car! A life saver and a $$$ saver as well!
I'm gonna give it a shot tomorrow. let see how it goes. wish me luck
Awesome video, made my starter replacement a piece of cake ! Thank you 🙏
If you have to do a starter on a Titan/Armada watch this video! Aaron, you have yet again saved me a whole lot of time and frustration. I believe this is the fourth video that I have used to repair my Titan. Thank you again for taking the time to produce these videos. Keep the Titan content coming! I’m sending you some $ for your help.
Toyota V8s with the timing belt are the same way.
Great video! And above all great mechanic! The attention to detail puts you above and beyond! Thanks again!
Thank you Aaron! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to do this video. I would have never dared to try this without it. I successfully replaced the starter in my 2011 Titan. THANK YOU!!
Thanks for the help. Got it done no problem.
Just FYI for those trying to do this the Video is showing the Wrong Fuel Line Disconnect tool he got lucky using a undersized plastic tool that doesn't fit. There is a ridge on the Fuel line before the input to the hole of the fuel line that makes it impossible to go flush unless you have the right fuel disconnect tool....It worked for me like in this video but I want peace of mind next time it took me many trips to Auto Stores to find the exact same tool used in this video...it's plastic and bends enough or breaks it's a crap shoot... I bought after this Job a tool that will work perfectly next time AST 8021 3/8", I'm sure there are a few other options out there too....just don't want anyone to be miss lead by this video and waste time like I had too....make sure you have ALL the right TOOLS BEFORE STARTING!!!!
Followed step by step. Turned out great
Great! No other video need! This has everything needed. But, I'm wondering how you work the back of the engine so easy? I had to climb back there. Lol ❤
very well done video!! still think this is one of the stupidest places for a starter to be though lol
Very helpful. Thanks!
Man that's was very clean and detail good job 👍👌
Bro sorry if this is a dumb question but before I buy my starter ,, I was wondering if there's a fuse should check, I no there's a relay for it was unsure of fuse. Thank u brutha awesome job with the vids. Very detailed u make it easy for us
There's a set of fusible links in the fuse box behind the battery. It's the larger box in the back, not the smaller one right next to the battery. The lid of the box has a diagram on the inside. The links have clear covers on them so you should be able to see if one melted.
That link is 40A and feeds the ignition switch, so if the key works in the ACC and/or ON position, it should be fine. According to the wiring diagrams, power passes through the ignition switch to the contact side of the starter relay, which is one of the little black relays in that same box, I believe the one on the far left. From there it goes to the starter solenoid, which I believe is built into the starter motor, so if that's bad you have to replace the whole thing, annoyingly.
Might be worth checking those relays as well. Below the top bank of fuses in there, there's five standard relays. According to the service manual, from left to right they are: *(starter relay), (heated mirror relay), (not used), (cooling fan relay),* and *(ignition relay).* On mine, the "not used" slot actually has a relay in it. I don't know if that's a spare, or somebody wired something to it, or what, I'm not the original owner.
The actual starter motor doesn't seem to have any circuit protection, outside of the likelihood that the armature windings would burn up before the wiring would.
This is complete bullshit.
The engineer who burried the starter under all of that should be serving time.
Did I miss something the foot pounds on the two bolts for the starter.
Good video kid.
keep it up.
Well, unfortunately I have to take this job on very soon. This video definitely helps with how intimidating the job sounds, you make it look easy, im pretty handy anyway but this is a definite confidence boost, my starter still works, but once in a while it clicks at the solenoid, but then, will fire right up after a couple clicks, do I need a starter or should I check everything out for a loose wire? I think I'll get a new starter so I don't have to do this twice 😭 what do you think?
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Wawu, Now I know I can do this myself. Thanks.
It is kinda ridiculous, I remember changing my old gmc starter out on my lunch break one time. Thanks for the video I may try it myself, labor is about 300 dollars at a local shop.
Thank you yu make it look easy. I’ll try mine soon
Awesomeness! I have no experience working on vehicles but thanks to you ! I replaced my starter in my 05 Titan in 4.5 hours all by myself a few months ago following ur video ! Thank you ! Now I need a video on replacing my belt tensioner & idler pulley !
Idler pulley is literally only the one bolt holding it in. Same with the tensioner. Sometimes tensioners have 2 bolts to either side but get your new part and check your bolt pattern. Then righty tighty, lefty loosey. Easy peasy. Best of luck!
@@partytimexxx8931 it was my belt tensioner that was making noise removed the belt 3 bolts put belt back on no noise ;) thank you though !
@@dawnbackus6652 awesome. Glad to hear you got it sorted. 👍
Very nice work my man! Thank you!
Well lets see........
By the time I would be trying to wrap this procedure up, I would be swearing a blue streak because I would have broken off a couple of bolt heads due to them being seized, I would have destroyed a few wire harnesses because they wouldn't release, I would have lost some of the fasteners, I definitely would have dropped shit down those ports, and I would have long forgotten the order of putting things back together.
And for what? A starter change that should have been a fifteen minute job, if the asshole enginerr would have just DESIGNED THE DAMN THING TO GO UNDER THE VEHICLE LIKE ALL THE REST OF STARTERS!!!
This should be an easily accessible part on any vehicle and it should only cost the amount to buy the part. It shouldn't also cost 3 plus hours of labor, and it shouldn't require an entire new gasket set.
I love my NV2500 cargo van, but this design is complete bullshit.
You’re awesome man. Im pretty much doing a titan restoration and your videos are always perfect: straight to the point, thorough, and extremely easy to follow.
After I replaced the battery and the alternator within the last 4 months my starter decided to go on my 2013 Pro-4X. Thanks for the video.
Buen video me ayudó bastante no tenía ni idea donde estaba la marcha.. me ahorré $$$$$ mucho
My tool to separate the fuel line would not fit. The connection would not slide back far enough to get the tool in the connection to release the locking clip.
I've done this twice you dont have to remove the fuel line just move the whole thing it too the side you still have a lot of access. It's very easy.. For someone experienced it can take 1.5 hrs to do. I did it in 1 hour... Hardest part is accessing the 2 bolts on the starter. FYI
You dont need to seperate the fuel lines at all? I am jut getting started taking mine apart. Is the starter he listed a good one?
@@moleisrich1 sorry late reply. I'm not sure if the starter he suggest is good... I'm sorry...
GOOD NEWS! After 2 weeks of testing and replacing everything g , new battery, new style (black) IPDM , and then finally a new starter and manifold gaskets- boom it starts now! thank you! One more thing, never had one thing happen to my starter as in no symptoms like most have where they have intermittent start. Just turned off the car, after moving my boat, jumped back in 10 minutes later and nothing. No crank but just a click in pax side inside the car. Thanks again
Oh and yes it was a pain in the a to do but it really wasn’t that bad. Just take it one challenge at a time. Took me 5 hourS taking breaks
I did everything just couldn't break the last 2 bolts holding the starter so frustrated had to put everything back
Nice job but What Moron puts the starter UNDER the INTAKE what a total pain for no reason other then to be different,
Great video, thank you
Thank you. Very helpful. 👍
Did he start the truck to realse the fuel out of the line?
Thank you very much for this wonderful lesson. I have a 2006 Nissan TITAN V8 SE. The tire gauge warning light is always on, My Mechanic could not locate where to reset it, what can I do? Also, the Oil pressure indicator remains high, What Can I do?
Hey brother, I did everything just as you did. When I went start it back up, it just turned over. No start, what might I check???
Great Video. 👍
Thank you!!! Doing my 2012 armada this weekend. 😢
leave it to Nissan putting a starter under the intake manifold
I followed the same instructions for my 2008 Nissan Armada and now starts like a champ. Thank you so much! great video.
I have a 2012 titan, only have 90k miles on it. One morning I tried to start and just click sound like the starter is dead. I tried to jump start and clean the battery terminals and it still did the same thing. I used an other car to pull it out of the way. That afternoon I came back home and retried to start and started right up, starts like normal ever since. Does it sounds like starter issue to you or it just have a faulty start? Appreciate your opinions.
Thank you 🙏 just finished my wife’s starter …years later you’re still helping people 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Is the Titan a good reliable truck from what you have seen? How would you compare reliability to the others? I have seen you work on quite a few F150's.
Very helpful, much appreciate your simple steps to get this job done quick and easy.....👍
Just finished the job! You’re amazing for this video man saved me some serious change by doing it myself!! 💰💰💰
It took me 5 hours start to finish because it was hard to break the starter bolts. Anyone can do it guranteed just have a heavy hammer to break those 2 starter bolts or a swivel wrench like his.
Also, I did not disconnect the fuel line like I saw someone else say in the comments, it does have enough slack 👍👍👍
Amazing video 10/10 5 star thumbs up for sure
We have a 2 Titans in the family and every time I lift the hood to check fluids I tell myself... Other than routine maintenance I wouldn't want to touch this engine with a ten for pole haha. Everything just fits under that stubby hood. 225k on a starter isn't bad I could only imagine the cost to replace this I'm guessing $300-$500 in labor plus parts there a bouts... In this video he made it look so easy 👍
ya Nissan doesn't make it easy. we have a fleet of these trucks at work. once you have the job a few times, it get easier and easier
nah this not that bad i've seen worse than this bmw v8 engine 5x worse
Big Thanks!
these are pretty well built trucks. 175k and going strong
Same here
Thank you sir 🤙
great instructions with them anyone mechanical inclined should be able to do it. now ask ur self do u have the time?
You can do this in 1.5 hrs hardest part is the 2 bolts on the starter it self.
I was calling shops to have this done and came across your video. After watching I thought I could do this. Just finished up and truck is running! Thank you so much for this video!
When you finished did you happen to spill some fluid near the manifold? Cause I did and when I started the truck up some white smoke came out and smelt burnt so I don’t know if I messed something up or if it was just burning the fluid that spilt
my dad passed in 2021, i'm gonna use this video for reference on how to fix things, as a way to get closer to him. thank you.
Great video. Just used it step my step to replace my starter. Whoever came up with the placement needs to get kicked in the plums. Again, good job!
Great video, its the best! Step by Step, I'm doing it. Thank You.
Is there a list of torque specs for all the stuff you put back together?
Great video. Stupid design by nissan. Back in the day the starter was connected to the undersides of the motor. This is nuts.
