G37 Won't start

My 08 G is not starting up anymore. After installing new intake. I went for an hour drive. Parked the car overnight. Moved the car out to wash, when I tried to move the car back in the garage. It won't start. Dashboard light lit up, when I tried to roll up the windows. The light went on and off. Is it the battery dead?

I don't know about the clicking.. the brake pedal is really hard to step down too...

Should I removed everything? I got ground wire kit installed couple of months ago...

jumpstart...

I got one of those battery charge. I charged and it started up. I went for a drive. Everything seem fine, but when I set the alarm for the car. It doesn't honk anymore. Instead it flashed the red car icon with the key.. and right signal light?

Does that mean I need to reset the ECU? when I installed the intake. I did unhook the negative wire for over 2 hours. after that I went for an hour drive.

I believe there's a setting on the nav. screen that let you set your alarm, to honk and blink lights, or just blink lights. your setting probably resetted to default when you unplugged the battery.
