What's up guys , once again an hour ago I went to Walmart , and on my way back , the car didn't start... The batt is good and the alternator as well. I'd try twice and at the 3 rd try I hold the key for 3 sec and it worked.
but I need to know what's going on , if it's and electrical problem or something else. Does anyone had this issue?
Cause the starter seems to spin good, but sometimes happens ... Could it be the relay or senoloid ?
I usually do all of my mechanical things.


Any suggestions???
 
Shadow , it was not cranking at all . I was turning the key and nothing happen, lights go off and on!
Dracula , tha batt terminals are in good shape , not loose or corroded.
But it's strange because when I holded the key for 3 sec it started to crank and that's it.. I know it's cold here in Boston , but now that I've saw the link that smijus posted , I might think in the AC amplifier replacement ! But can it be reprogrammed ????
Can a diagnosis tell what's the problem , assuming that this cars are canbus.

If u held it for 3 seconds and then it turned on, one would think ign. Switch might something to look at. Since that starts the process.

I'm having a somewhat similar issue. Only after car sits overnight; it sometimes won't crank in morning. Turn key, get click and lights go out like fuse popped. My issue seems to be positive battery terminal, if I push on it, car starts fine and cranks up like normal for a while. It is happening more and more lately, we've had a lot of rain and temperature fluctuations so I'm not sure if that impacts it. Terminal is tight, so I'm wondering if I need to replace it because something is not making good contact. When the car first clicks everything powers off, but when I push on the terminal, all lights and power come back on.
 
I just start my 45 with the remote starter, everything went well , it's now warming up! Bu u right , I'll will replace the negative and positive batt cables. Cause the negative it's a bit used . I should start from there too. Love the car , own it since Dec , but to many minor issues! :-/

Good luck, and FWIW, mine started off like yours. Last year, it would click and then all lights would go out. Then I would turn key off and try again and it would start perfectly. Now I have to adjust the battery cable, so I guess it got worse. Not sure how this would happen, but I'm going to try replacing it. No corrosion, but I do notice a tiny bit of movement even though clamp is tight.
