I changed my oil today, noticed when I started it the SES light and AT check light illuminated. Backed car out of garage, turned off to complete cleaning the garage up.

Jumped back into start it and will not roll over or engage starter. All lights work, door windows, locks signals, 4 ways etc, everything works but will not start or even attempt to start.

Car is 2004 G35X,checked all fuses they were also good. I'm leaning towards starter as battery is fine. Or can it be another electrical issue like a ground or bad wire? Trunck and reverse lights have never worked since ive owned car now so I know something is wrong with trunk harness, but can that cause iisues not to start?

 

I quick thing I can think of trying is to put the car in reverse or neutral (with foot on brake) and then back into park. I am pretty sure that was required one time on either my car or a family members and all of a sudden it turned on just fine, so I guess it didnt think it was engaged into Park.

 

I'd start by getting someone with a code reader to hook up and see what that code was. Could be a clue...or totoally unrelated.

 

Well hopefully today I can look at it and get a scanner hooked to it. Worked all weekend so car sat in driveway all weekend, only bonus to owning 3 cars I guess. I"ll post results of what codes it scans or if I can find anything loose. Rain makes theses issues difficult.

 

Borrowed a scanner, pulls a U1000 code that is it. Proabaly going to use CAA and tow car to dealer or it can sit awhile, have no time to diagnose and work on electrical issues. My cousin had the same issue with his 04, module was shot behind dash. 5 hours to pull dash at dealership rates and a 800 module fgor a total bill 1700. Gotta love Infintis.

 

Check third fuse box, yes 3rd fuse box under passenger wiper cowl. 2 clips and it comes off, fuse box is against fire wall, need long screw driver to undo the 2 clips on each side, slid fuse cover up, \I think it is the 3rd fuse on the right side, 15 amp. This fuse was for my back up lights, car was dead, no back up lights, "AT" light on and got u1000 cod. changed a 10 cent fuse and away I went. Infiniti does not mention any thing about this fuse panel in the owners manual, very sneaky. This fuse box has more fuses in it than either 2 combined. I posted this so others might be able to read this.

 

The trunk and reverse lights issue is probably related to the cut wires in the trunk grommet which is common issue on these cars.

And the starter may have just finally died. Mine did with 130,000 miles or so... don't remember exactly.

just wouldn't turn.. replacement was easy.
