What Nissan model is this give me a description-Try jumping the starter at its solenoid and whether the starter will kick over

When you say won't start-does it mean it cranks over and w/n start or just won't crank over at all

Here's your probable causes: Ignition switch, park and neutral switch, starter relay and starter itself-
