Car will not start, Ignition light stays in "Lock", blinking key light

[HBlakeH]

Hey guys,

Tonight my car, a 2010 370z Nismo, would not start. I have been getting the yellow key light on the left side of the dashboard for a couple weeks now, but thought nothing of it. Big mistake.

Anyways, when it wouldn't start I searched all through this forum to find the issue and thought it may be the steering lock issue. So, with that in mind, I tried the basic things like disconnecting the battery and pumping the brakes. Nothing worked.

I also read that pulling one of the fuses would solve the problem, but when looking through the threads about the issue, I couldn't find the fuse they were talking about, so I elected not to do that.

The weird thing is that the car will not move passed the "Lock" light on the ignition button, and the steering wheel is not locked in place. So, even if I wanted to remove the fuse, the car couldn't go into "ACCY" so it would not have helped.

I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. My dad pulled the car back 10 miles to my house with a strap using the tow hook, and I guess I'm going to have to tow it to my local Nissan dealership to see what the problem is.

Any ideas?
