'06 is350 will not start
IS350 would not start last night.I do not think it is the battery because when I hit start button to start engine headlights would not dim,plus the brake pedal was stuck to the floor.No power anywhere in car except for headlights and they did not even dim a little when trying to start engine.Any Ideas?

This happens to my girlfriends RX330 when listening to the radio too long when the car is in auxiliary mode and not running. We jump hers when this happens and it solves the issue.
I'd love to know the fix for you when you determine it.

no start issue
No CEL's,scanning is next.
I was talking on bluetooth for 15min.+/- with engine stopped,went shopping for 1hr. and then no start.
The headlights were bright,which would lead me to think battery was good.The fob has a 2month old battery and works trunk release fine.
If you destroyed a new STI he was baiting you,or if it was a manual he might not know how to drive a stick.I believe they are low 13sec 1/4 and are well below 5sec to 60.

I agree if it was a 'destroyed' situation it was likely a manual driver who was driving suboptimally (or he didn't realize he was racing), but the STi is gonna likely lose that race assuming competent drivers and a decent road surface...engine hp is about the same, slight tq advantage to the STI, but that AWD system is gonna suck some power away in drivetrain losses...and I think the IS is geared a touch more aggressively

how is the subject of racing an STI even remotely related to his car not starting?
btw, I had peach cobbler last night. See?
Anyway, it's probably you're battery. The headlights can appear bright even though there arent enough amps to turn the engine over. Voltage and amperage are different animals.
Does your starter engage the engine? or is there no response or very little?

Does the light in the start button change from amber to green when you press the brake? It has to be green for the car to even attempt to start. After multiple times pressing the brake without the engine running, the booster will be depleted of vacuum, and so it will be harder to press the brake far enough for the light to turn green.
If not that, I agree with the others that a weak battery is the most likely culprit.
I had gumbo and jambalaya. And you're the one in Louisiana?

happen to my car as well just jumped my car and it wouldnt hold a charge. i can jump and drive around but after i turned the car off... it would need another jump../. figured out it needed di water.... added DI water into the battery and drove to the dealership. got a new battery out of it through warranty...

no start issue
Got car started by jumping and using extra pressure on brake pedal.The battery showed 12.1v, before attempting to start .The button would show no color,green and red sometimes,it was like the whole electrical system was going crazy, the radio, a/c,dash lights,almost everything except headlights when I depressed start button.I would get a few solenoid clicks but it acts like starter system acts as if it is totally separate of headlights because there is no twitching of light brightness when starter button is pushed.It seems as if starter never really engages.Could a faulty stop switch fuse 7.5A in passenger fuse box may be cause this ,I thought fuses were either all or none.
