Car wont turn on, dash lights blink, relays click, car wont shift. Helppp!!! :(
Good morning everyone. I need some assistance please. Last night I was driving home from work and I noticed my idle was like sputtering. And I noticed the car wouldn’t shift. I put the car in manual mode to shift to 5th and then the M and D light started blinking. I took a turn and shut off the car to reset it and my car never turned back on. Now when I try to turn it on my dash lights start going off and on and I hear relays going on and off. It sometimes won’t let me shift from P to N or vice versa. I had to pull the car home last night. I tried connecting an obd2 scanner and it shuts it off as soon as I connect it to the car. I noticed this morning when I tried turning it on again that my immobilizer light doesn’t always turn on. I tried using my 2nd key and that didn’t work either. Sorry for the long message but I’m desperate and need y’all assistance. I had to come in to work so I couldn't check anything with a voltmeter but plan on doing it when I go home tonight. And just in case this is for an 07 TL-S Auto.

Have you checked your battery?

I couldnt find my voltmeter to check it this morning. When I get out of work I will check it with one. But the car has power, its not losing anything. Everything turns on. I parked the car last night at like 11 pm and tried turning it back on at around 7 am and there was still juice.

You'd be surprised at the wierd symptoms of a poorly charged battery. There could also be a parasitic draw that's constantly pulling power from the battery even when the car is off.

battery or loose/corroded cable/s.

Thanks for the help gents. My car was recently at the shop and for some reason I had a loose ground. And when I say loose I mean disconnected completely. Lol connected it back on and now the car is back to normal.
