2017 Nissan Altima — no crank with full dash power, then it starts later

NewCarNomadCommunity StarterApr 17, 20262017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SVNashville
2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SV, about 78,500 miles. Twice I have had full lights and accessories but no crank. After waiting a few minutes it starts normally. Battery terminals look clean. What would you want to measure during the actual failure?

Ask what changed right before it started. Two 2017 Nissan Altimas can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Save the big job until that test fails. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

If it were in my driveway, get a real battery/charging test on the 2017 Nissan Altima, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. This is from a 2017 Nissan Altima in Nashville with 78,500 miles. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.
