My guy thank you! My 2012 titan has been doing the click think for a few months. Bought the part the other day. Today it took me 8 times to get it going. Got to work, grabbed a screwdriver and in ten minutes I was done. Hardest part was trying to get my old butt in there.lol

I took my ignition cylinder out for the same reason. My 2013 Titan SV would periodically NOT turn over ( Just one little click sound) but was starting to become almost a daily occurrence. When I removed my ignition cylinder, it was pretty messy with black corrosion so I cleaned it up with a wire brush the used the dielectric grease and reinstalled it. So fare so good for the last 4 days.

That's great! It's been over a month since I cleaned mine and it still cranks the first time every time. Before I found out there were issues in the ignition switch, I had been starting to look at replacing starter solenoids. Thankfully the issue was much simpler than that!

Thanks! Yes, this seems to be a fairly common issue that could easily be misdiagnosed as a starter or starter relay. Better to troubleshoot the easy access items first!

Unfortunately my 2008 QX56 has a different switch setup, designed for use with the wireless key fobs. Update - I was mistaken, it's the same switch module, just located way back from where I had expected, and hidden by a kludgy install of a third-party tracking module, since removed. With a modest amount of foul language I was able to replace it, and it does seem (so far) to have fixed the problem. Thanks!

Ok, good to know. That makes sense that it is definitely a different part for models with push-button ignition.

Before you had changed the ignition cylinder, did you have a single click sound under the hood? Trying to see if I need to replace the starter or this.

Yes, I did. There’s several things it could be, but I would say try cleaning the switch first. It’s WAY easier than changing the starter!

Thank you so much for this video. My Titan had this problem and after cleaning the switch everything is OK. I have a question, How long does it take to happen again ? I mean, to find black dots of carbon in the copper terminals and rings of the switch ? How often should the switch be cleaned ? Thanks a lot for your kind attention, hope my english is clear. Greetings from Monterrey, México.
@FixandMaintainАй бұрын
You’re welcome! I don’t know how long it will take to build up carbon again, but I would assume it should last about as long as the first time. I haven’t had any issues since making this video back in February, but hopefully it will last a decade or more before having to clean it again.

Can repairs shown on video be perform on a 2015 nissan titan sv? Where can I order the module starter part if needed
@FixandMaintain6 ай бұрын
From what I can see, it is highly likely that it would be the same procedure as the video and same part as in the description. I can't say for sure without having that model, though. The problem is that Nissan doesn't sell the ignition switch separately, but instead bundled it with the steering lock assembly, so there's not an easy way to check compatibility. If you feel comfortable checking and cleaning it yourself, you should be able to get it cleaned up and working like new without replacing it. My Titan is a 2007 (I've had it since 2014) and just started having ignition switch issues a couple of months ago. Now that I cleaned the original switch, it hasn't had any issues since.

@FixandMaintain3 ай бұрын
Replaced the battery 2 times in the past 4 months?!? Sounds like you have a problem with an electrical drain that’s making the batteries fail prematurely. I was suggesting the battery first since it’s the easiest to diagnose. Cleaning both battery terminals would also be an easy thing to rule out. There’s a chance it could be the starter or starter relay, but I’ve heard the starter is quite difficult to replace on the Titan. Just trying to suggest the easiest route first.

I can’t say for sure if the replacement switch will work on that particular model, since Nissan wants to sell the entire lock cylinder assembly instead of the switch by itself. But, it should be the same process as in the video to clean the old switch.

@FixandMaintain6 ай бұрын
It should be the same switch for 2005 QX56. The reason it’s hard to verify fitment is that this particular switch is bundled with the entire Frame Assmebly Steering Lock part (D8701-7S000), and not sold separately on Nissan or Infiniti’s parts sites.

It’s definitely a much easier and cheaper fix than replacing the starter! There are a couple of failure points in the starting system, one other being the starter relay in the panel under the hood. Hopefully yours will just be a dirty ignition switch as well, though.
