Problem overview

Some INFINITI Q50 owners report experiencing starting issues and electrical problems due to a burned-out ground earth cable. These issues can manifest as flickering or dim lighting, ignition or radio noise through the speakers, intermittent electrical functions, hard starting, and low charging system output. The ground connection is crucial for the proper functioning of the vehicle's electric and electronic systems, as it provides a safe path for electrical current and prevents short circuits that could damage the vehicle or harm individuals.

It is important for owners to address this problem promptly to prevent further damage to the electrical system and ensure safe operation.
