I got a 05 maxima 3'5 se. I was sitting in my car last night and it seemed like the battery died. So I went to pop it in nuetral and move it. The crazyness started. The radio cam on and off the lights wouldnt turn off, than only 1 light stayed on. The air conditioning was going on and off. The steering wheel locked up, the key is currently locked in the ignition, wont come out ( wont let me go back to off). The breaks locked and I couldnt change gears. I had to pop the shift lock in order to get it to nuetral to roll it. I have no idea where to begin, the only thing I can think off is the ecu.*When I try to turn it over it clicks (starter I assume). If I leave the key on, I hear very fast clicking coming from behind the glove box (these are 2 seperate clicking noise, the starter when trying to turn it, if I just leave the key on I get the 2nd click)It was raining pretty hard these past few days


Any ideas?

Your battery is dead or bad.The maxima acts funny when it is low on power. There was one time I needed to charge my phone and the day before I broke my charger. So i turned my car on, plugged in my car charger, left the key in the ignition, activated my viper alarm (can't start the car without the viper deactivated so it was safe) but then I forget about it. I went out to get my phone and my door locks were spazzing out, and my car had so little power i couldn't unlock the doors. I opened it with a spare, and noticed the lights were on when my **** was set to auto (middle of the day). I turned them off so I could start recharging the battery and they wouldn't turn off. it did a few other weird things as well.

Your worst case scenario is you have electrical damage via water. If it was my car I'd unplug bother batter terminals and let the car sit for 24 hours, hood open (inside) with a fan blowing on it. Every time electricity flows though water or tries to it draws minerals out of the water and corrodes your stuff.

have someone jump your car, if it starts and everything stops being weird you need to have your battery tested at autozone.
