W/N Start AGAIN!!!
It just happened again, 2nd time in two months. Went into store came out and nothing. The only thing that worked were the head lights and the remote lock/unlock and it would not chirp telling me the alarm was not setting. Called tow truck, hauled car to shop, unloaded car and “naturally” it started. The last time it took 2 days before it came back to life. Checked all the normal stuff grounds, battery etc.
HELP !

This car has a lot of grounds within the electrical system. My guess would be that one of them is bad... :yesnod:

Rick,
Have you changed anything lately, installed anything? hit a big bump, etc.?
I had a intermitent start problem, where the car always started but sometimes wouldn't run.
It turned out to be a ground.

Looks like the problem has been found. The fuse box under the passenger side leg area has a short. The panned was pulled out and when it’s moved around the “power failure” is duplicated. I’m not sure if it’s the panel, the connector or the harness, I will pull it apart this weekend.
