Ignition problems
So, I looked in the search and I can't find this same problem...
Friday, after driving my car for awhile I stopped somewhere for about 5 minutes. When I got back in the car, I put the key in, turned it, and hit the start button. As soon as I hit the start button, everything just died. I tried starting it again and nothing happened. No blinking key icon (or anything else for that matter) on the console. After a couple tries, it saw the key and started right up. Sunday morning, my car did the same thing, but I could not get it to start at all after a couple minutes of trying. I went back up to my apartment and got my other key and it worked fine. Now today, I went to start it during lunch and it did the same exact thing. I tried the other key and it won't start up with either key. The keyless entry doesnt work at all either... it just seems like the battery is dead or disconnected. Is this how the ignition kill works? Could it not be recognizing my keys?
Any other ideas?
I replaced the battery about 6 months ago, so I doubt that that's the issue.

Well? Come on! Tell us! What was it?
Some of us might have a "dumbass" moment one day, too. That's what this forum is for - the benefit of each others experiences. I promise not to laugh!
