    hello mga gurus,

    i have a nissan sentra gx 2007 model, whose engine wont start. at first i thought it was the battery but i noticed that all my lights were still strong and my horn still loud. i just had my 50k pms from casa. aside from the battery what else could cause this problem? considering that my car is fairly new what else should i consider?

    hoping for your expert advice. thanks.

    More info needed.

    Does the engine crank over? When it cranks, does it sputter or just cranking over and over?

    sorry for the late update. i had my car towed and brought to casa. it wont crank at all. when i put the key to on, i can hear the whirring sound (like electronic) sound after which i am supposed to turn the key and the engine comes to life. but after the whirring sound, nothing happens, just a "click" sound. i got a new battery and still the same thing.

    could this be due to engine failure? or the starter? any help would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a starter problem. The solenoid motor which pushes the actual starter motor gear into the flywheel might have a problem (failed for some reason).
