What demon is this?

BrianInMN · 07-17-2017, 09:28 AM

Hi Guys,
Somethings going on with the ignition for my 2012 manual Z. Eventually it will start but does anyone know what would be the problem here? Sometimes it'll start right away and sometimes it'll be like in the video. I'm afraid one of these days it's going to strand me somewhere. Any suggestions?

Yup. Same thing started happening to mine and purchased a new one from Rock Auto... although I've read on the 350z forum that you can either clean it or readjust it.

One more time...

Car won't start!...and it's not the Steering Lock...

And I would also mention that you're hitting the button pretty fast.
Since I pulled the fuse on my steering lock, mine will occasionally go to "ON" or not move at all. Then sit there for a few seconds and it finally starts.
