Flashing..Flashing...Lights & Tow
So guys, it's never happened before but my car was placed on a flatbed last night.
I went to grab dinner with my fiancee when we get in the car and the brake is already fully depressed. I go to press it some more and hit the start button when all of the lights go flashing, dashboard lights are all lit and it's pretty much strobing in my car.
Had a tow come and take a look and he jump started the car. It powered right up but my headlights kept fluctuating and alternating in operation. So the tow guy asks me if the battery indicator is on and I said no. He goes well tow it because if you shut it off, it's not coming back on again.
So hopefully it should be at the Infiniti dealership by now but I guess i'll have to call and check up on it soon.
What do you think happened? Mind you, I had not driven the car since Friday afternoon but do you think that's the case?

It's the same thing that happened to me. You need the TSB for the battery and ECM needs to be reprogrammed.

That is exactly what they did. They did a diagnostic and found a whole bunch of other error codes but they didn't expound on it in the work order.
I've lost all my presets and have to call XM again to activate my car's subscription services. Minor hassle...
