370Z Not Cranking Problem

Ztoon

Just returned from the dealer. Apparently my Z came with a near dead battery. In warm weather or during winter when I had it stored in heated underground parking, there was just enough juice. Outside in the cool spring, if left for a few days however , it wouldn't crank.
They checked the steering lock mechanism, which there have been problems with. If your car is in the 'on' position and the steering lock does not release, then it's malfunctioning, and the car won't start.
A check was run on the IPDM which showed normal. They also contacted Nissan Canada, who said to date there's only 1 IPDM fail in Canada.
Good call, Chris, I didn't know 12V or slightly above was next to dead.
Hopefully this is the end of it.
