Engine not starting
I have a 08 G37s and when I got into my car tonight I pressed the ignition on and my car did not turn on. When I press it the interior of the car lights up like normal. Then all of a sudden the car will just turn off like someone flipped the off switch. From what I hear the engine does not even try to start. I don't think it's the battery bc the headlights and radio still work fine. Please help.

Re: Engine not starting
In case it helps I have an automatic transmission. I have tried turning it on with the gas pedal 1/3 pressed also.

Welcome to NICO!
Even though the headlights and radio work, the battery could still be drained enough to not allow the starter to engage. Mine did something similar when I was burning CDs to my HD...Try jumping it.

Re: Engine not starting
Yeah, try a jump. On both my sedan and coupe the battery did similar when they went out.
