Hoping someone can help! My 2017 ND won't start this morning - it opened fine (ish, frozen window didn't move down as it usually does) but the car will not start at all. Start button flashes orange rather than green, and when pressed beeps six times at me, but that's it.

More oddly, I can't then lock the car - when I get out, it beeps (as if I'd left the key in?) and will not lock. I can get it to lock by sitting in the car, pressing the unlock on the key, and then exiting and locking.

Both keys are the same.

Anyone seen this? Any ideas? A dealer suggested a flat battery, but it was fully charged yesterday and started fine. I've put the charger on it again today to make sure and it seems fine. I've seen elsewhere there's an emergency start (press and hold the start button) but loathed to try that on a weekend!

Cheers!

Thanks Kev5! No joy with the emergency start - nothing. I changed the key batteries only a few weeks ago, but have another set coming for tomorrow just to make sure. Will see what that does. Battery has been charged but also no joy. Maybe time to find a mobile mechanic...
