1996 nissan pickup wont start, good battery Sign In

My Nissan will not start when I turn the key, no clicks or anything absolutely nothing. now here is the catcher the battery is good I have checked it twice with different units. the exterior lights work but nothing interior will. and last but not least if you jump it it all comes on and it turns right over, its something electrical it really has me and everybody I have talked to stumped.

What "units" are you using to test that battery?

Ditto - how are you checking battery?


OP - Know this, if it takes a jump and is fine it's not getting enough or much from the battery good or not. Jumper box or cables you are putting power to the outside of the U-bolts not the posts of the battery so that is the likely problem - bad connection between posts and the clamps or u-bolts I called them. They may appear OK and tight and still NG.


If you are sure battery is good just try to twist on the clamps now with pliers and they shouldn't turn but bet they do,
