Ok so I've read though many pages on here and a few other forums on why I wouldn't start, which just gave me even more questions. None of the problems posted were exactly like mine so I couldn't really base I off anyone elsewhere particular experience.

But anyways car has been fine so far, there's a few parts like compression rod bushings I need to change but I don't drve a lot or "spirited" so I'm getting to them all as soon as I can. But I went to start the car one morning (around 35 degrees, and looked like it rained outside but was heavy dew) and the car wouldn't start. I think it used it's last reserve power as lights came on and the seat moved like normal, but it wouldn't start. Kept on trying and nothing, so popped the hood and took a look around when my neighbor Steve saw me and gave me a jump. Car was still completely unresponsive, wouldn't start. No dash lights, no radio, no headlights, no power of any kind excep the alarm light flashes, and the open door chime when the door is open. I get one click and nothing at all doesn't even sound like it's trying to start. So I called AAA thy true to jump and nothing, he said my positive and negative didn't really look dirty or corroded even cleaned them a little with some bristle thing. Then he checked the charge on the battery and it checked out as fine. Havnt had any electrical problems yet and cd player has been fine so far

So it still won't start and before i get it towed I am trying to find out if anything ican do before I have to take her away. I've used the shift lock to put it in neutral and try to start and nothing. I've messed with the keys and key fob to no avail. What does this seem like to you? From what I've read it could be the Bose amp drain, IPDM, starter, fuses, battery, so many different things and most are expensive. Help me Please I know nothing about cars I'm just good at research

Oh yea forgot to mention that it's a 2004 g35x I just got about a month ago. And I can take pictures and make videos of anything that would help you help me

Welcome to NICO!

Sorry to hear about the issue...First, is it a manual or AUTO? How many miles. Any recent service or maintenance done?
