Car died won't start

Nissan Pathfinder 1993 SE 4 Wheel drive auto 333000 miles
Drove my pathfinder for an half hour paid bills, etc. Headed home and it died. It won't restart. I love my car had it for 6 years and has been awesomely maintained. Apt. Manger threating to tow it. My car took me from Oregon to Connecticut and back. I need my car. I bought relay but feel its the wrong one. Napa gave me engine relay. I asked for Fuel pump relay. Moving back th east coast in may. Thank you
You don't realize how much you miss your car until its not running.

If the car died and will not restart, it could be a problem with the fuel system or a malfunctioning component.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay is responsible for turning on the fuel pump when the car is started. If the relay is not functioning properly, it can cause the car to not start. You can check the relay by inspecting it for any visible damage or wear and by testing it to see if it is functioning properly.
Check the fuel pump. The fuel pump is responsible for pumping fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. If the fuel pump is not functioning properly, it can cause the car to not start. You can check the fuel pump by inspecting it for any visible damage or wear and by testing it to see if it is functioning properly.
Check the fuel filter. The fuel filter is responsible for filtering contaminants out of the fuel before it reaches the engine. If the fuel filter is clogged or damaged, it can cause the car to not start. You can check the fuel filter by inspecting it for any visible damage or wear and by replacing it if necessary.

Is there anyway to rip out the alarm? Ill tell you the same thing i said to the other guy take your ignition control module first take the2 screws out and then pull it out if it stops beeping the light will the light will be off and you can try to start it with a flat head srewdrive the module that came off with the 2 screws stick the driver in there and turn it and see what u have. Make sure battery is fully charged. If you stil dont get a crank go to your battery terminlals make no corrosion on anything touching them. Now look at your relays under the hood very easy to understand, the diagram for which fuse and relay is for which spot I like to look for fuel and spark. There is a lot of relays that are not important for getting the truck running. So I look for the fuel pump relay its a brown one, I see the same one for the horn, thats a good switch. Fuel injectors has a exact same relay as rear defroster and its spring time now. I hope I helped if not let me noe wht u did good luck

Go under the hood on passenger side, you will see a black box with a fuse diagram. Check the fuse for fuel pump and injectors. There should be another fuse box on the driverside just inside of the door and pull your change holder right out you wont wreck it. Read the fuse diagram for the fuses right behind the piece you pulled out there should be a yellow fuse pulling tool to help you if you have a needle nose check everyone take you 5 minutes

Please help cranks strong no start on 01 pathfinder

Nissan Pathfinder 2001  148000 miles
I thought i needed a new starter because it wouldnt start, replaced it and no crank. I put my steering column all the way up and its cranking faster than ever before, but its not starting not even trying to start. I just recently read that it may be the igntion relay where the keys goes in. Im very limited on funds and its hard to get rides so if you could tell what me to try something else im going to the junkyard in the morning. Please gimme a little help thank you god bless
