The vehicle was running fine. I parked it and went out 2 hours later. The electrical system comes on, but the car won't turn over. It's as if the key is no longer coded or something. I have a very strong battery. Any ideas?[img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img] Edited by: vasurveyor

 

Turn on headlights before you try to start vehicle. Then try to start. Do headlights go out when you try to start? If so,bad battery/starter connection.Clean and reattatch.


If not ,post back.

 

Just to let all know. This was a starter wire problem. The dealer had to replace the wire to the starter. I had a bad (shorted [img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]) cell in the battery that burnt the wire. This doesn't really make sense to me because I had full electrical power and never smelled any burning wires or components. It sounds to me like the wire just came loose, but they had to justify the $300 dollarsfor labor and a new battery.


Thanks for your replies.

 

DOES THE THEFT LIGHT FLASH FAST IF SO KEY MIGHT HAVE LOST PROGRAMMING OR CHIP FELL OUT OF KEY IF NOT FLASHINH FAST THEN HAVE STARETR WIRE CHECKED
