HELP! Car wont turn on anymore. Immobilized?
 
Ok, took my car back to stock last weekend. Was getting the rest buttoned up tonight and tried to start the car up while on jack stands. Well the car wouldn't go from locked to acc or on. It has a graphic on the display to wiggle the steering wheel and push the button. The steering wheel is locked. I tried to do what the graphic says, but its not working. The lock and unlock buttong dont work either on the remote or door.

I'm trading my car in on Saturday, I need to get the car started!

HELP! I dissconnected the battery for a few minutes in hopes to reset. No dice.

Any chance the fact that the car is on stands is part of the problem? Did you try lowering it back down and then wiggle the wheel?

Car is back down. Now when i get in the car with the keys, the high beam light is flashing.

WTF? Nothing is turning the car on. Keeps giving me a wheel wiggle graphic and that doesn't do anything.

My car is a brick right now.

Not sure it'll be much help but check this out: Car no-start troubleshooting guide

Have you tried using your backup keyfob? and have you tried putting the key in the fobgina?

If I were you i'd cancel the appointment to trade in your car, it's sods law and it'll probably take you a trip to the dealership for them to check the error codes and solve the problem. If you cancel your appointment now, you can always come up with another excuse, you can always show it on Sunday instead?

Good luck.

check all fuses. I had similar issue, it was the start ignition fuse.

Nothing worked. Seats dont work. Headlights. door locks. Windows.

Tow truck is on the way to tow it to the dealer. The first one I called tried to blame the whole thing on me and didn't even want to take it. What the fork....

Will update.

Awwww, karma

Dead car came first. Hard to mail a package when I don't have a car. Tracking info sent. Check your e-mail.

Anyway, turned out the main fuse block was fried. Warranty covered it. Doesnt look like it would have been a kick in the walet either. I saw the invoice to Nissan and it was only $167.

Back up and running. It wasnt anything I would have found on my own.

Thanks to the dealership that repaired my car with professionalism and hospitality. The other dealership that immedialty accused me of causing the damage, without even a question asked, can go to ***. Felt like throwing his "1st in customer care" award through the window. This is the 2nd car they have refused to work on.

@OP: Did you ever figure out what was wrong? I'm having the same issue.

Unless you are having the many problems the OP had, your ESCL (AKA SLU) is probably bad.
