Sounds like a battery issue. I **** myself when this happened to me, then I realized I just forgot to put the negative terminal back on the post after working on the car.

If all of your electronics are failing, did you clean your grounds yet? Mine were very dirty, replaced a couple rusty screws and sanded off all of the dirt and the electrical system has been working beautifully ever since.

On the plane about to take off... Yes it is the power distribution. Look under your battery.

You should probably list all the maintaince things you have done to your car and mileage, so we know what to rule out.

Another possibility is a bad alternator, but i would also try replacing the optima with a different brand battery. I heard the newer optima's have trouble with cold cranking amps in extreme cold temps.

Might be worth a shot, if it doesnt work, just return the battery for a refund.

Ive had the battery for a year and had no problems. Also well for maintance lets see.... regular oil changes every 3k, diff fluid replaced 3k miles ago, cam sensor seal, if anything would have to be done is probably spark plugs at 100k

Currently im at 95k miles, the car runs fine as is the motor pulls like a train its more electric problem car..

My car went pretty much completely dead for a while. It ended up being a connection to the fuse box in the engine bay. The power wire (thick white wire) was corroded and bent and the terminal had melted to pieces. I bent the terminal enough so that when I put it back into the fuse box it could not possibly come lose. Simple enough fix but it took forever to find and completely disabled my car for a month.

Have someone sit in the car while you pull out the fuse box (it pops right out) and push each one of the wires firmly into the box. Have the person on the inside tell you if anything starts to turn on or act differently. This is how I fixed my problem on accident. I really hope this helps you. Here is the thread I made a while ago https://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6662840#post6662840

probably an alarm malfunction if that's the only thing that would work.
then when you took out all the fuses, there was a fuse that ha to do with the alarm and the alarm reset and the car turned on.

On one of my acuras, the alarm is a piece of crap.
before it would go off alone like a few times a day! another time, I turned my car on and went inside and closed the door and the doors locked.
car idled for like an hr till aaa got there.
