Hey guys

My g37s coupe wont start, it would just click once. I checked the battery and its fully working and charged up. What can be wrong? Everything else works radio acc lights, headlights etc... But it wont start

Do your lights dim when you press start? Sounds like a dead battery to me.

Does it crank at all? Could also be a fried starter motor.

I would try to give it a jump. If you're positive the batter is okay, then I suspect it's a starter motor problem.

does your speedometer flicker or goes completely off when you try starting it?

Does sound like a starter issue, Funny to say, But have someone hit the starter will a mallet While you are starting it. At least you see if thats the issue.

yeah hope it isnt a starter issue, i barely have 30.000 miles on it, this issue started when i went for a 2 week vacation and came back, the battery was completely dead, charged it up fully, and it still wont start, just clicks once

You completely left that important detail out. Try jumping it. Sounds like the battery is still discharged.

even if you full charge a battery, they still can be a dead or damaged cell, It would casue the car not to start, Did you try load testing the battery?
