EMERGENCY: Car won't start HElp!
 
Might be Steering lock, not 100% sure. (Also for the record mine is revision C) 2010 sport. (ITS NOT STEERING LOCK - Wheels move

Key fob unlocks car, locks car, makes alarm go off ect...

Put fob in fobgina still nothing.

Accessory wont come on when I push START

Some power does work, Headlights ect, locks, ect all work / Sterio and stuff does not come on.

Made the mistake of Pushing the keyfob unlock button and rolling down the windows and those are stuck down Now, Im in a bad situation here at work. ***FIxed. Used the key in the door turned to lock and it rolls up the windows.

Any all all reason why or what to do will help, I know kicking the box thing for the lock, and read something about the clutch switch or some ****?

-UPDATE-

Pretty sure not steering lock. Steering wheel isnt locked. Can move it.

Tried to do a popstart, didnt work, not sure if we got enough speed...

Thrashed on the START button and clutch pedal and ACC came on once after like 47573853 presses. Then I clocked again to start and it shut off again.

Also the break pedal is hard as a rock prob cause no power but im just adding all the things I observe.

Can you turn the steering wheel at all?

Sounds like more than just a steering lock. Sorry don't have anymore info than that.

Nope it's locked.

The pain in the *** steering wheel lock BS. I pulled the fuse on mine to disengage the whole system when i first bought my car and heard of this issue, but with any wheel lock, if you can pull it down extremely hard and hit the start button at the same time, it might disengage. I think there's a sticky on this that might help you get out of this bind.

if in doubt replace the battery, cheap fix if it works..

Nope Clutch and CSC seem fine. Wiggled the Clutch Position sensor thingy too.

Car is beeping now tho... really thinking this is maybe some kind of electrical issue, ECU failure? But so sudden? It was fine today.

A friend just told me to maybe try a Jump - said lights an stuff can still be on but not enough Amps to do anything else? Is this a thing?

SouthArk370Z 12-16-2015 05:55 PM

It sounds like the steering lock to me. The locking pin can retract far enough to unlock the wheel yet still not make the internal switches. See link in my sig for links for things to try to get the car started and how to pull the fuse to prevent future problems.

Is the battery dead with just enough juice to turn on dash lights ??

****. Was hoping I avoided steering lock since the wheel moves. I'll check the links, I read a lot of stuff already on it before hope beating on it more will work... ha

Won't ACC power still come on tho?
