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.

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.

Really? Are you guys sure? at least thats some good news! money has been pretty tight lately, I have been worrying all day about this :(

Thanks for finding that :tup:

Its not that i don't believe them i was just trying to make sure it would be covered. I'm only 20...I bought the car with money from when my dad passed away so its not like i have thousands laying around to fix big issues. I was just worried, but thank you guys I appreciate the help. I will call the dealer thursday and try to get this fixed

just one last question, i seen that on the link that it says supplies are limited, does that mean I may be too late to get it replaced for free? Sorry for bugging you guys i appreciate you guys taking the time to help me..

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 :(

Call your dealership make sure you get rev D lock. I think that's the latest one?

:iagree:

:iagree:

Thank you sir, I appreciate it.. I will update the thread with the outcome. Once again guys thank you for the help, and have a Merry Christmas and safe holidays.:tiphat:

:tiphat: you too, safe and happy holidays

After you have the lock installed, get the bypass harness.

just pull the fuse, safe and free, and it's DIY :tup:
