Problem overview

Some INFINITI G35 owners report experiencing starting issues characterized by a clicking noise, which may indicate a faulty starter or worn brushes. This clicking sound often signifies that the starter motor is not receiving sufficient electrical current to engage properly, as the solenoid attempts to connect but fails due to inadequate power. Additionally, if the starter is malfunctioning, the clicking noise may result from the solenoid trying to activate the starter without turning the engine over. In some cases, this issue could stem from a broken ignition switch that fails to engage the solenoid correctly. To address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to have the starter and brushes inspected and potentially replaced. If problems continue, seeking assistance from a mechanic experienced with INFINITI vehicles is recommended for proper diagnosis and resolution.
