Drove my vehicle home night before last. Turned off after no issue commute. The starter is a month old, (I can hear the solenoid kicking)and no start or even turn. I went to Nissan and picked up another starter relay and installed today, no help. Same results. The battery is new and I am now at a loss as the obvious has been addressed. Can someone offer advice or direction?

It sounds like you have an inhibitor relay that is not working. Here is a guide and the starter wiring diagrams and the location of the relay:

See where are are losing power. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Well I swapped out the only two relays at that location and got the same click. I can hear fuel pump engaged, starter trying to throw out but still nothing more. Everything else turns on just fine.

Can you see if the engine turns by hand? The engine is not cranking over correct? Can you make a video of what the car is doing please? This really helps.

Use a breaker bar and socket to turn the front of the engine over.
