Elect Steering Column Lock Fuse Delete not working

Trying inserting the key into the "fobgina" the next few times you drive it and see if you get similar symptoms. This will tell you whether the fob battery is the culprit or not.

1) You left the headlights or interior lights on? This doesn't just happen.
2) You can lower the windows using the buttons on the fob (hold lock and unlock buttons together) - perhaps you accidentally lowered the windows without realizing it? You certainly wouldn't be the first person this happened to.
3) Battery is certainly a possibility

A number of people have complained about delayed starts after removing the ESCL fuse. I've had at least a full two second delay after pushing the start button before the car actually started. But the delay is from totally off to actually starting - not cycling through ACC/ON modes. Your experience is definitely an odd one...
