1992 Infiniti G20 Engine starting problems

Electrical problem
1992 Infiniti G20 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150000 miles

Hello,

I went to turn my car off yesterday and while the key was out the car was still running and slowly shut off. Today it will not start! The interior lights (dash) still work and there is a clicking noise when I turn the key!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Either your ignition switch or your key switch is bad. More than likely is your key switch, when you said the key was off but the engine was still running.

I bet you that your key switch was really turned off, and it drained your battery. Yes, I know. Your light works, it only takes about 2 amps to turn your lights, radio and stuff. But it takes about 200 amps to start the motor. Get the battery tested.
