The starter fuse that's up under the hood is broken Inside the Box a 2004 Nissan exterior I cannot get it out Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the manual yet? Most vehicles have two fuse panels. Is the fuse box that's up under the Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model of your '04 Nissan? Exterra Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Xterra yourself? What have you tried so far? I tried to put it out but it was so hard I broke the top of the fuse but the other part is still stuck in the terminal Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Yes we put on a brand new starter and it still will not start

Hello Jordan, nice to meet you! I am sorry to hear about your Fuse issue. I am assuming that you are inquiring about the Main Fusible link. Here is a video which gives you the general idea on how it's secured [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM6cNM2Ye8A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM6cNM2Ye8A)

I will I'm working with this and I'll let you know I do have a question about the starter I'll see if this work first
Automotive Expert
You got it. If it's the Fusible link that is bolted in. Then yes, this will certainly affect the starter operation

Did not work I got a mechanic over to look at it
Automotive Expert
You couldn't get the fuse out?

I did but car still wouldn't start new starter
Automotive Expert
Were you getting any type of clicking when you tried to start the truck?

before it went out so the starter fuse was changed as well as the starter I checked all the fuses in and out still no startBut this guy checked to see was it getting any fuel he will be back later today if it doesn't rain but he said today he was going to get it started
Automotive Expert
I do find on these older Nissan's back in the day they installed allot of remote starts so if a battery goes dead or a main fusible link blow or depending on the fuses blown, it could cause it to activate where it can keep the starter from engaging

OkThis one doesn't have one
Automotive Expert
Sometimes you don't know until the battery goes dead. But I guess we will find out when your mechanic takes a look at it!
