Asked by Wendy Dec 26, 2020 at 02:52 PM about the 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I started my car and drove it 15 minutes to the store 20
minutes later I try to start my car again and my car would
not start all I got was dashboard lights stereo and
headlights I was able to jump the car and it started right
up I then drove my car home 15 minutes parked my car
and started it two weeks later no problem starting I let my
car run for about 30 minutes turn the car off went back
and started up 15 minutes later no problem starting I then
waited two hours try to start my car and it would not start
they gave me the same issues as before only dashboard
lights with a faint clicking sound I already replaced the
battery could it be the alternator or the starter

things need to be tested to know what the problem is , make sure the batt terminals are tight and all other electrical connections . .The starter may be on the way out or there may be a relay , At least you know how to spell WON'T . A temperamental problem has to be tested when it occurs .
