So my girlfriend called me while i was at work sayin our Xterra wont start.
This is whats its doin, I took this vid of me tryin to start it when i got home. The volt gauge on the dash is readin low, I put my DVOM on the battery and its readin 12.48v, lil low but eoungh to start. My guess is the starter won't disengage. Please give your 2 cents.

still might be the battery. i'd lug the battery into a auzone and get them to check it. just because the volts are somewhat good, doesn't mean it has the amps to turn the motor. i think it still may be the battery.

if it were the starter, i don't think you would hear anything. at that's been my experience in the past.

can you jump start it?

I'd try to jump start it. Sounds like it is only the starter with no engine. might very well be as easy as the battery. I hope so for your sake, Good luck

clean and tighten the battery terminals and i bet you will be GTG. and by clean, i mean take them off and scrub them down with a mix of water and baking soda and a brass brush or old tooth brush. do it till it no longer foams on both the battery terminals and the battery cable clamps.
