Please help!! Full battery but no ignition
 

it's almost as if it doesn't think I have the clutch pushed in, because thats exactly the way it acts (radio comes on, screen on left of dash tells me to push clutch, etc.). except my start button and the lights on my start button (ON, ACC, START) do not light up.

any ideas??

feel free to email or PM me if you really think you know what's going on

Failed steering lock module or bad contacts on one of the clutch switches would be a good place to start.

When my steering lock happened, I was getting into my car after getting gas.

I thought this issue was only on 09's

I believe some of the electronics were working.. Just wouldn't go into ACC or ON.

The fuse seemed like a good idea, but that only works if your ignition lock is in working order, which I am pretty sure mine is not. Shoot! To the dealership she goes... :(

This thread solves the issue....

But this REALLY seems like steering lock failure

True, with the lack of ON ACC lights on the start button, it could be steering lock. Let's hope not....

the guy at the dealership told me there's a recall on the steering lock module, and they're gonna replace it for free. I really hope that's what the issue is, cuz it kinda sounded like they're just assuming that's the issue.

it could be the clutch switch, but I've never had it not work intermittently the way you did. it just worked all the time, then not at all.

If the Ignition button switch was not lighting up, DEpointfive0 is right, it's most likely the steering lock.

it was the clutch switch :tiphat:

Dealer fix or replace it or did you repair it yourself?

dealer fix. but now I'm dealing with some sort of loss of power issue. she doesn't have the same zip she did a week ago and my MPG is in the sh**ter. dammit!

it seemed to happen right after I got my oil changed at jiffy lube on saturday... thoughts? anybody?

If the weather is a lot hotter than you have experienced driving the car in before, observe your oil temps. If you didn't already, know that the 370z "detunes" with high oil temps. I am not sure how slow is slow for you, but before my oil cooler (and eventually turbos) I noticed a pretty significant power loss around 220 degree oil temp that seemed to get worse the hotter the oil was from there.
