Hi Folks,
2002 with 161,XXX. Issue started about a year ago. Turn the key, all accessories have full power but no start. No clicking from the starter, I hear a slight click from something behind the glovebox - sometimes. Usually after waiting a couple minutes or repeated turns of the key it will start. When it does, starter sounds fine and is strong with no hesitation. The problem will occur every few months, will happen for a couple days then no issues for a few months.
Battery is brand new. Recently replaced the positive terminal clamp (old one was severely corroded), negative is in good shape and both battery posts have been cleaned and treated for corrosion. All fuses are fine, main and fuel pump relay seem fine but I really wouldn't know what to look for or how to test.
Read many threads on starting issues, found a few that sounded like mine but there was no resolution. Left it with a dealer for a day (only because it's an electrical issue) but it didn't happen so they couldn't diagnose.
Anyone dealt with this?
Thanks!
