CAR WON'T START OR CRANK!!!! Help!!! So the motor was from an 04 gto and is currently sitting in my nissan 240sx. The car ran fine literally for 18 hours. I was doing a cruise. Well I have no e brake so I leave the car in gear when I park. I was having issues with my clutch/slave I just never got the time to change it. So I parked it at a slight incline put it in gear then 10 min later I came back to it and no crank no turnover or anything!!! The lights turn on the lights get dimmer when I try and start the car. The battery is brand new the alternator is about 2 years old. I also tapped on the starter. And still no crank. Can anyone help me with this? It's really annoying.

Like I said the battery is Literrally 2 weeks old. And I'll check for grounds. It's just weird because everything else turns on in the car. Oh and I checked the battery it was reading 12.34 or something. Also tried jumping the car and nothing changed.

I don't think I hear clicking. It's hard to hear it because my fan is hooked up to my acc so my fan turns on and it's really loud. I'm pretty sure my fuel pump turns on but my starter doesn't. But I already tapped it pretty hard if I may say. I also think I hit the positive wire because it sparked a little when I slipped.

Your fans really shouldn't come on immediately, they should be activated based off engine temp, unless you also have a manual override switch.

It's my preference. Especially living I'm Vegas they need to be on. I know not really during winter but I ran it like that last winter
