Can't start after new battery

Nov 18, 2005 4 Replies

Hi,



I'm trying to install a new battery on my 1996 Nissan Maxima. I hook up the positive terminal (red) first, and then the negative (black). The horn immediately starts beeping (horn, not alarm), and I can't start the car. It won't turn over, the horn continues to beep, and the car still won't start.



I killed the old battery by keeping the lights on, and I did the exact same thing last year, and replaced the battery and everything worked fine.



Any help is appreciated.



Thanks,



-Vic



Pull the horn relay so you can take it to be fixed.

sounds like the factory alarm. all maximas had one, used the horn...
