Hi,
My Moms Nissan Versa will Crank, but doesn't start.
Eventually she ran the battery down so i hooked-up some jumper cables, let it charge for 10min.
It Cranked but still won't start. My neighbors battery charger showed the battery was good (fully charged).

This video on the youtubes says it's likely the ($20) 'battery fuse' mounted on the negative terminal (of his Sentra):

- but i didn't any posts on here for that.
Anyone else ever have this issue? Thanks.

You could always check your fuses, but it sounds more like it's possibly a starter that's your problem. Possibly your alternator as well.

thanks,
It ended up just being a bad battery afterall.
I always thought a car would jump-start even if the battery was bad so
i assumed it must've been something else.

I have only had that happen to me one time - my old Chevy Cavalier had a battery that was so depleted it wouldn't even run and the car would stall out shortly after jumping it.

Glad you got it fixed with not much fuss!
