Saturday:
Tried to turn it on, just clicks and does not turn over. Jumped it and it started easily, drove it around for about half an hour.

Sunday
Did not drive it.

Monday
Car would not start (no clicks this time) Jumped it and took it to Advance (figured dead battery) but they said it was fine. Drove it to work (~15minutes), parked and returned to it 5 hours later and it started with no issue. Got home around 5pm and parked.

Just a few minutes ago (about 5 hours after i drove it home from work) I went outside and tried to start it. It struggled but did turn on. I am expecting it to not turn on tomorrow morning, but we shall see.

Does this pattern of events seem like the same issue this thread is about? What would cause this problem to start happening all of a sudden? I bought the car used from Carmax so I don't have a relationship established with the Infiniti dealership yet. Can I just take it Infiniti and say "Fix it!" ?

I drive it only on weekends. Just hit 30k.

Drove to car wash and grocery store today. No problems starting.

Came home and unloaded and parked the car.

3 hours later my wife says I left the lights on.

I go out and the lights are on but the key won't open the door on first try.

I click a few times and the door opens.

The lights on the dash and gps screen are flicking and I get the "no key" icon.

Can't start car, can't turn off lights, just lock and unlock the doors.


I pulled the negative terminal and the lights go out. I put it back on and the car lights works as normal. I get in and try to start and it acts like I have a dead battery.

I do have a battery that says 84 months and has Infiniti on the top.

It's been extremely hot so past experience says just get a new battery.

Today I actually used the key to pop the trunk open which I never do. When I went to lock the car afterwards I noticed I didn't get the horn when the doors locked. I didn't think anything of it until my wife told me the lights were on.

Anyone have similar experience? (I did read about a faulty trunk latch in another thread)

Suggestions on a new battery?
