Nah. Knock sensors, chain guides and a bad MAF connection.

Don't mind us, we're just having some fun. Some relay. Sure it wasn't the blue box that was buzzing? I'm thinking ABS relay, but I can't recall for certain, someone here can confirm. It got stuck and drained the battery. Not entirely uncommon when they get old.

The black box is the ABS solenoid relay. Call Scottsdale Infiniti(everythinginfiniti.com) for a price, should be easy to change.

Our sponsors are authorized dealers and have great prices. Probably costs more than you expect, but cheaper than your local dealer parts, and much cheaper than taking it in to the shop.
