Nissan Armada intermittent starting issue despite replacing IPDM box and reprogramming remote key on Nissan Armada

Problem overview

Some Nissan Armada owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues even after replacing the IPDM box and reprogramming the remote key. These problems may stem from a faulty starter, which can prevent the engine from engaging or cranking when attempting to start the vehicle. Additionally, issues with the starter relay or ignition relay could be responsible, particularly if the vehicle only produces a clicking sound during starting attempts. Replacing these relays might resolve the starting difficulties. Furthermore, the ignition starter switch, linked to the lock cylinder, is another potential factor; a malfunctioning switch could contribute to the intermittent starting problems. It is advisable for owners to inspect these components to identify and address the underlying issue effectively.
