I backed my truck out of the garage the other night, shut it off, and now it won't crank. It just clicks when I turn the key.
In prior weeks I have had similar issues where when in Park it would do the same thing. So, I would shift to Neutral and it would start.
Now it won't start in either location. It just clicks.

Anyone know what to troubleshoot?
Could it be the starter, neutral switch, or resistor somewhere?

It's a 2005 Titan with over 200,000 miles on it. It's been REALLY good to me up to this point.
However, I don't want to spent a ton since the truck is not worth a ton. However, it's been running and riding great. Just won't start.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.

My 2007 did the same thing.Turned out to be the starter. Its under the plenum.

I think from what are you telling it might be the starter, and better go to a service to repair it because home it's very hard and you must know how to do it very well or you might break it harder or something else. I remember that when I got recruited by avatarfleet.com it was because I am a daily driver and worked as a mechanic for 5 years before, and that's why I know very well how to repair or change some pieces of the truck with no problem, just need some tools and a well-prepared garage.

Try turning key from run to start several times. If starter finally engages, it's the starter. I have a 2006 that I nursed along for well over a year with this problem. Sometimes having to switch from run to start 10 times. Actually this is caused mainly by the starter solenoid which is on the starter, under the intake manifold. Look on uTube for some thorough instructions. I replaced mine at 63 years old, (me not truck) took about 3 hours. Good luck.

A faulty alternator does not charge (or charges insufficiently) the battery, which does not have enough control to start the starter. An old battery doesn't hold an order well and discharges quickly, especially in cold weather. Usually, the problem is in one thing. The battery may be dead "zero," and then the starter won't start, and the dashboard won't turn on. If there is still voltage, the car will warn you of a dead battery with an icon on the dashboard. The vehicle may start after it has been "powered on" from another, but you will feel that the alternator is charging the battery at half strength, and there is no "current" in the car again after parking. If the alternator is broken, then the only way is to go to the service. Often cars are sold with this damage already, so it is best to look at all vehicles in Manufacturer Archives - Comvex Truck Exporter, and do not encounter problems.
