The dealer replaced the switch and all was OK until about 3 months ago. I now have 23000 miles. Sometimes now the car will sound as if its going to crank but it won't. After about 2 attempts, I remove the key so all will reset and the car cranks. Happens when motor is cold or hot. No codes per my mechanic. He does say it is a little slow to crank. Sounds like the old days when there was a vacuum hose loose. Any ideas on the problem?
Just been reading another thread re clutch switches. The clutch has to be depressed for the starter to come in. Could it be a faulty switch at the clutch pedal. Just a thought. If so they are only $20 from Pelican parts and can be swapped out DIY Smilein 15 minutes. Wavy
