Electrical problem
1992 Nissan Pathfinder V6 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 230797 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
vehical ran fine all day turing the car off and on at different locations.last stop vehical would not start. battery replaced , power is on in car. when we turn the key we get nothing. we ran the code and it said all systems were good . replaced the ignition relay next to fire wall . still nothing . we are trying to find the starter relay location and there is another single relay behind the battery. using a meter the two prongs on the relay that are farthest apart show current on this one . there is a indication that the relay that we replaced had a hot spot on the wiring harness. we will probably test starter tomorrow.

Hold key to start position look for power at starter small wire black/pink or a black/yellow-power there and starter not engaging-bad starter

No power at small wire at starter, check for power at the inhibitor relay at left fender apron wire black and yellow-No power there replace ignition switch. Power at relay-could be the relay itself or problem with the black wire to ground at the relay.

Or the inhibitor switch also called neutral safety switch at the transmission.
