What? Who the heck told you that? Using your key in your door lock will not disable or shut down your ignition. I assume you have a G35 with the chip in your key? Do you have an automatic? Is the steering wheel turned to one side where it blocks you from cranking the engine? Sometimes you have to turn your steering wheel the other way to allow the key to turn to the 4 position (where it cranks the car).

Do you have any lights on the dash? You did not include enough information for anyone to help you. What year and model is your car, etc...

did you use a load tester on the battery or just a volt meter?

Could be batt connections/cables, I would do a quick visual and wiggle the largest wires on both ends including the ground. There is a good chance of finding somthing
