So I drive out of my driveway and as soon i get like 10 feet down the street the G completely dies. So I'm like ok, let me try and restart it. Absolutely nothing!

No clicks, no lights turning on, no sounds, completely dead. Even had to use the shift lock button to put the car in neutral and push back. Place a jumper on it and it didnt even flinch.

Took out the battery and went to have it tested and its practically new.

Need ideas guys. It's freezing here in Texas and can't spend too much time outside. I'm thinking a fuse or something

Thanks!

 

maybe the main fuse, not sure where its located at though

 

sounds like you lost ground, or blew a fuse. check the fuses first, because its the easiest. check the engine grounds next.



as you can see, the primary side of the ignition system shares these two grounds. start there.

 

yeah start off checking the main fuse on the positive terminal. check your main grounds from the battery to the frame/engine as well. and you have other fuses in the panel next to the battery. if all is well, pull the ipdm (black box next to the battery on passenger side) try hitting it and see if you get anything.....IPDMs tend to go out though you can still get power inside and mostly be able to turn the car over.

 

mods?

 

thx for the support y'all. It is freezing here so couldn't stand being outside any longer. I'll be checking all the fuses and grounds tomorrow during the day.

car has no mods.

 

as far as grounds go......you have:
the one from the negative terminal to the passenger fender side, then another big one under the coolant reservoir and by the timing cover nearby. you have a couple small ones on each side on the shock towers. check them all.....remove and clean if you see any sort of rust or oxidation.

 

Freezing in Texas... Thats a Good One. Anyone from the Midwest or North East want to Chime in with me?

 

I'm with you Lincoln

Maybe check for oxidation on battery terminal connectors. I've seen this before.

 

I'll say what everyone tells me when I complain about my car. "It's a G35, it's normal. Get over it".
