HELP: Car won't start!

tjlazer

Tried another fob, no go. I get a motorized sound for a few seconds. If I leave it there I get a buzzing sound from the engine bay.

Did a search and I guess I have a bad ECU! I'm getting the exact same thing.

370Z Not Cranking Problem

Would installing illuminated kick panels have something to do with it? Everything was fine for a few weeks until today. But I do recall having to remove and re install a harness around the ECU area...

I believe the end result for the thread that you linked to was the IPDM and not the ECU. This could be your problem. There is also a bad problem with the steering wheel locks in the Nissan cars. The GT-R guys (myself included) received voluntary recalls to replace this part. Do you hear the steering wheel lock disengage when you press the Start button? It should sound like a single "whir" coming from the steering column. If not, then this is most likely your issue.

Steering wheel lock is working normal. I feel it release and I get a whirr sound.

So where is this IPDM located?

The IPDM is located on the passenger side near the main fuse box.

I had to get my car towed for the steerig wheel lock problem. Car wouldn't start.
