Interesting, clearly I'm a car noob but I've never had an issue with turning on the heat in ACC mode (just found out thats what its called) not sure if the engine is somewhat on for 370z in this mode or not

but yeah will check what it does tmrw if anything will jump start it / after i jump start it, is there an easy way to know if i need to replace the battery by looking at the voltage gauge or something or do i have to go to autozone?

thanks for the help guys!

I'm sorry but i can't imagine how it must of been like, turning on the heat while the engine is ice cold. Didn't you realize that it was just blowing cold air?

I don't think there's a single ICE car that has an electric heater lol

After you jump start the car and run it until it charges up, you can kill it and wait about an hour. If it starts then, you're probably good.
If your battery has removable caps over the cells, you can buy a specific gravity tester at the auto parts store to test the battery. Follow the instructions on the package for the test ON A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. Be careful. You're dealing with a very strong acid. It will eat you and any part of your car it comes in contact with. This is basically a turkey baster with a guage built into in.
