In a 2002 Nissan Sentra, the starting mechanism is located within the steering column and is linked to the ignition where the keys are inserted. A crucial yet commonly overlooked element of the ignition system in any vehicle is the starter relay. This electrical component is responsible for transferring power from the battery to the starter solenoid, which in turn initiates the rotation of the engine. When the starter relay malfunctions, the electrical signal fails to reach the starter motor from the battery. Consequently, the engine will not start, regardless of how many times the key is turned. A defective relay often causes a noticeable clicking noise when attempting to start the car.
