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.
wheee! likes this.

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....
