I have a 03 maxima with 3.5 that will not start. I put a new starter on it but still no luck. tryed another battery and cleaned the cables and still no luck. all it does is click sounds like a relay clicking not the starter.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your "not start" means no crank, then...
- Swap the clicking relay; possibly contact points worn. (Relays are color coded; use any other similar in its place for testing)
- TEST the starter: Bypass all other potential problem sources by hot wiring starter solenoid: while starter supply is still wired, find an extra wire and connect it directly (=touch batt +pole) to the solenoid connector to +12V = healthy starter will crank
