1995 nissan maxima

Starting problem. With the clutch fully engaged and the ignition key turned to the start position, the starter is reluctant to engage. This problem has been getting worse over the past year to the point where you must continually press clutch to floor and turn ignition key numerous times before the starter engages and car starts.

So the problem has been occuring for a year and you are just now trying to fix it? Sorry, I just simply do not understand why people do this...keep driving it until it won't drive anymore even though you KNOW it has a problem....Maybe you can explain this to me???

If you can hear the starter clicking when you try to start it, then you have a bad starter. If it makes no noise at all. then you most likely have a bad clutch switch.

what about if it is an automatic? I have an almost identical problem.

SOURCE: 2002 nissan altima a/c compressor wont engage & wippers wont work

it could be a conscience that the wipers stopped too, because elctricly these are not sharing any resources.
there may be a leak in the system. when the freon gets low there is a pressure switch that disables the clutch to prevent damage.

"Warning Lights" on the dashboard of "1995 Nissan Maxima"

The warning lights coming on with the key in the on position is normal. If the key is turned to the start position and the engine will not crank over, suspect an internal starter motor problem or lack of power to the starter solenoid. You can try tapping on the starter motor with a blunt object while someone holds the key in the crank position to see if it starts when this problem occurs. If it starts using this procedure, the starter motor will be defective

How to reset the anti theft system in a 1995 maxima

Worth a shot.

My 94 maxima gxe will not start. I turn the key forward to the start position, but there is nothing. I tried to cross-over the starter, it engages, but will not start. Also, the ECU lights will not flash...

If it is not cranking, did you check your ignition fuse?
