NYC Winter Storm - 2014 370z wont start
 

Hey guys, so its pretty cold over here tonight feels like 10F, was outside taking the mountain of snow off my 370z, then turned the car on just to crank up the heat (didnt turn the engine on) had it on full blast and then went back outside to take off more snow

after about 7-10 mins went back in the car to warm myself up so i turned the heat up more to about 90 degrees inside the car and turned on the seat heaters

after a few mins i noticed the heater stopped working so i thought that was weird so I turned it off and tried to start the car and it wouldnt start / tried a few times didnt start

never had this happen before, is it just cause its too cold and covered in frozen snow or something else?

when i turn it off completely i could still get it to turn on and when it first turns on you can hear the heater working again but then it cuts out after a couple seconds / car stays on just heater wont stay on and engine doesnt start

any ideas? im just hoping by tmrw it kind of just fixes itself up lol but thats probably unlikely :confused:

Wait, how do you turn the heat on with the engine off ?

It's probably your battery.

Ps- this snow was crazyyy

I just double tap the engine start button without pressing the brakes and the heater works then

and yeah hopefully a jump start tmrw will fix it and then I'll go check if I should replace the battery or not

and dudeee... NY weather is ridiculous lol one day its 60 degrees in feb then next day its like a frozen antarctica

Umm dude heat aint gonna work if the engine is off! Engine needs to warm for heat to work, what are you doing? If i understand u correctly you smoked your battery

I'm not sure why you did what you did, but like everyone
is saying, sounds like your battery my friend.

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:pics:

LOL thats the weird part like when i first turned it on i left my car immediately to go clean it outside so it probably was cold then but when i got back in, it was very warm inside so idk man lol

Wow.. new threshold

Wow is right......

:wtf2:

Wait. What?

:facepalm:

Don't be soooo closed minded guys!
There's always something new to learn :bowrofl:
Has anyone ever tried it? :bowrofl:
