I bought this 99 maxima last week and it has ran excellent. I go to get in it this morning and the car was completely dead. I tried to jumpstart it and nothing. I put a charger on the battery and it is showing it is fully charged but absolutely nothing powers up. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

Check fuses. is the starter clicking? Lots of things could cause this, probably something GHEY......check your battery cable ends, see if there is a spark from the battery. post back with the findings

Thanks for the help guys. I figured it out. The battery terminals were spotless but I couldn't see the corrosion inside the battery cable. I replaced the cable and it is fine. Thanks again.
