07 won't start
Original owner - 40k miles -
- Started slow last time I drove it -
- when turned off the front marker lights, some dash lights and rear lights wouldn't turn off.
- Would not re-start.
- Tried jumping it and all the lights, radio, etc came on but when I pushed the button to start it it didn't respond/turn over. - Starter switch? Battery? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks, everyone for your help.
Turns out that battery was in fact deader than dead...just they way everything acted when it was on it's last breath was strange -
so, jumped it to get it started -
took 20 min to charge enough to start -
then had it tested at Auto Zone - dead -
new battery installed in the comfy confines of my own garage....nice to have something turn out easy!!!
Thanks again, y'all!

Mine did something similar 6 months ago. My (wifes) 07 G35 battery died but what was wierd, was after we jumped it, the car ran fine for another month. Then dead again, I took it to the dealer, seriously they couldn't figure out what was wrong, they said the battery was fine. I was at a local shop when it died, they checked the battery and no good. Muhaha the dealer..... Had a new battery put in and it's been flawless ever since. The car only has 30K miles on it and other than 2 tires, 1 battery, 1windshield wiper need to replace the passenger side, 2 in cabin air filter, 2 air filters and a couple of oil changes nothing else. This is a great car for reliablilty and price.

G35equipped, I had a similar story but then the last time the battery died my Battery light and the brake light appeared on the dash. My alternator had died. I replaced it along with the belt tensioner and no problems ever since. Voltage is between 14.2 and 13.2 most of the time. 14.6 is usually at start until the car is warm, then it goes down a bit.
