2003 Q45

[christie210]

Hi, new here...I have a 2003 Infiniti Q45. I am about to sell it and trying to get it all squared away maintenance wise! When I first got the car from my brother-in-law, a year ago, I replaced the battery...I had to do it in a hurry as the car was dead and went to Walmart to get one, not too expensive...but whatever I could get. This is what is going on: car has been maintained perfectly by brother-in-law. About 6 months ago, got in car and it would not start. No "clicking", just nothing...lights on however, all power stuff working. Then I would try again and it would work perfectly. I can go for a month without it doing it...then it happens again. Once I cleaned the remote key and it worked fine...then it starts doing it again. Now I don't want someone to charge me for something I don't need...done enough reading...could be 1) battery? 2) starter?, or 3) ignition needing a part?, or anything else? Car runs great, no other problems at all. Is there such a thing as my battery not being "ENOUGH" for this car? Thank you kindly for your help and insight.

Welcome to NICO!!

Could be the starter. It's really hard to say. I'm not sure if the key is funky if it will cause a no-crank but still allow all the electronics inside to turn on?
