My 99 Nissan Sentra will not start. I just changed the battery, so it's new. I also changed one of the "cables" as it was corroded. The car is not turning over at all. No noise is being made but my radio & dom light come on. What could the problem be?

    Have you checked fuses? There maybe a main fuse that is bad. Check under the hood for a fuse panel. There should be some large fuses. Check them. Also make sure to look over both ends of the cables ground and hot.

Most likely a dead starter motor

I have 2004 nissan sentra ,I can not get anything to come on

this could be a problem in the power distribution box under the bonnet like a corroded cable or the vibration has broken it ,disconnect the battery and put it on charge overnight and see what happens in case the battery is just flat ,if still nothing after charging try a jump start in case it is the batery died as they can go all of a sudden .

Car starts with jump and drives but wont start by itself

well if the altenator is charging it will run after getting a jump, you replied you put a battery charger on it but that dont mean the cold cranking amps are good or it could have a dead cell. I would have the battery tested for sure. If you didnt drive far after jump the altenator may be bad but having the battery charged and still does it tells me it is least likely. If the battery tests good the cables could be corroded under the sheath where you cant see. There are other reasons but from what you have posted sounds like you need a battery most auto stores test them for free (load test also)

My positive batery cable is very corroded while driveing the other day it shut off now it will turn over but wont start

You need to replace the terminals on the battery leads and clean the terminals on the battery, baking soda and water, along with a good scrubbing with a wire brush should do it. That could also work with the cable terminals. Check the power going to the starter and starter solenoid for corrosion also.

1990 nissan stanza wont start

replace your battery cables, the cables can corrode on the inside, turning a dark green color.
OR the starting solenoid and the wires going to and from it. that one small wire going from battery to solenoid might be your problem.

2002 Nissan Sentra car will not start but battery is 100% charged, will start when boosted though

check your battery cables to see if the cables themselves are corroded and also check the connections where they connect to the vehicle that they are clean
positivecable will connect at the starter and the negative will connect to the engine some where.
if this does not help then have your starter tested to see if it is dragging. as it could be the armature or the brushes in the starter.
