My 370z won't start! Could somebody please help me!!
 
I have a 2009 370z with about 30,100 miles on it, and today when I was leaving work, I tried to start my car but it wouldn't start.. there was a red key light, and a yellow key light.. I tried both keys, and even put the key in the "fobgina" no luck at all :(

Steering wheel lock. Look up on sticky thread above.

JoeZ91 12-24-2013 03:28 PM

is that the only thing it could be? I just looked at the thread, it just has everyone putting there info on there... Is there anything i can do to fix it if it is that?

99% is the steering lock failure, if you have other doubt, tow it to the dealer and have them check.

Also I just seen on the DIY fix thread that he says to put the car into ACC mode, my car won't even go into that mode. Pushing the start button does nothing at all! Is this normal?

Its under neither the steering wheel a silver box. Try and pound it to loosen it up and try staring your car. If that doesn’t work your going to have to have it towed to the dealer. This will be fixed under warranty not sure if the tow will.

Ugh, a day before christmas :( If it is the Steering wheel lock, about how much would it cost to fix it?

There is a TSB on the steering lock issue, and it will get replaced for FREE.

after they replace the steering lock, you might want to pull the fuse thus disable the steering thus no more steering lock failure in the future..

and don't worry, it is safe to your Z and many members have done that and it works fine.

Not a Problem just let us know how it goes.


Sorry about the passing of your Dad :(
