Car won't start!...and it's not the Steering Lock...

wheee!, had the same problem as JARblue mentioned above. Has not happened in a bit over a week but I am now experiencing the "normal" start delay more frequently.

Did yours always fire up the next round? Or did it take a few cycles, like wheee! mentioned?

The only instance of it not starting up on the next round was the day we met with Deanna to hit Trudy's. I tried about 8 or so times to start it and nothing would happen. Other than that, the second time is the charm so far.

Same here... Started getting the delayed start... Then a couple months later the car would only start when I would put the key in the fob... Put the fuse back in, installed new lock just to be safe, and the car is starting fine now.

does it make any difference if you kept the fob in your purse or inserted in the fob slot?

Your guess is as good as mine. I only use it for easy access to my gate remote since I don't have Homelink.

Sounds like I need the new steering lock assembly. I already replaced the key fob battery too....
