Sorry for posting in two places, after posting in 240gen i realized i would probably be better off posting in here instead

my car is having a problem starting currently. I went to lunch back at my barracks and went back to the car to get back to work, car wouldnt start. stereo works, windows go up and down slowly, also so do the headlights(its a 91 240 with a sr) i go to turn the key and dont hear anything. i try again and hear the, what i believe to be the relay click on and nothing. again i try it and hear the key and what i think could be the starter try to engage and nothing. Im pretty sure its the battery though because i accidently left my fan on for about an hour and before that i left my stereo on(key falls out sometimes and the car was off so i thought when it just fell out it was off all the way but i was wrong haha) just wondering if you all have any other suggestions for me besides trying to jump start it. thanks in advance. btw i dont know alot about cars and am currently learning and soaking up as much as i can so if anyones in the north VA area around quantico or fredericksburg and wants to help me learn some more, if theyre doing a swap or some work and i can stand by and learn what your doing shoot me an email!

So I got it figured out. it was a combination of my battery being drained I guess and my starter missing a bolt and not being lined up properly, gunna call nissan tomorrow and get the right bolts for it. thanks for the help guys.

Sounds like a weak battery. unless the misalignment made it hard to start and drained the battery.
