Hi Everyone....shut my 02 Xterra off yday & now it wont start. I have power & its not the battery so we're trying to change the starter. Bolts are out & wires are disconnected, however motor mount is preventing us from removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

You just need to find the right angle to get it out takes a bit to find it....If i recall, slide it up the support bar towards the front, twist and then come back down and out.

Thanks...we'll give it try & hope the starter is the problem! Only problem I've had so far besides gas guzzling! lol

sorry to piggyback but this thread is newish and i didn't wanna start a new thread for the same problem. I got in my X yesterday turned the key, the dash lights came on, but when the key hit ignition, the lights turned off and nothing responded. I got out locked and unlocked the car, came back in and it started up w/o issue.

I didn't get any clicking or whining, it just clicked and turned off. This is an issue with the starter right?

its worked since, started the car up prob a half dozen times since with no issue whatsoever, not sure if it was a fluke occurrence, or a lurking problem. just wanted to get an idea of what i was dealing with
