no start
got in the car, pushed the button, and no start. tried the glove box trick, nothing. battery in the key fob new, battery on car good, makes a buzzing clicking electric type of noise in the dash when you hit the start button. its not the clicking from a starter when its nit getting enough power, this is in the dash. I read where someone had to replace the BCM, maybe he can chime in and help...

Take your cell phone in the house if you had it with you. Lock and unlock the doors and hatch with the FOB, then try to start again. Same thing with me a few months back. Ultimately, I did need a new car battery, even though it appeared to be OK. Was yours load tested?

Or you might have a weak cell in the battery and you caused it to move to a good cell so it started.
How old is the battery? I have not had one last more than 3 years. Even a little low voltage will cause problems in our cars. What would be fine for other cars is useless for our cars.

Mine was a combo of the battery (bad cell) and BCM. I was told that when the BCM goes out, it's instant but that was not the case with mine. It would work sometimes then not. Very random.

When I was researching my starting issues, I had read that someone had an issue with the signal from the brake pedal. That wasn't ultimately the issue with mine but could see that causing symptoms like yours.

My car went into service January of 2010 and is on its third battery. Last one was about a month ago, and the fault was really a starter cable that was just about melted-thru. I just replaced the battery out of habit, but didn't really need to this last time.
Several neighbors have these cars and all agree that they eat-up batteries faster than other cars.

Mine has done this recently. I'd get in, close the door, clutch, press the button. One click and everything's dead. Press the door open button, slam door shut, retry starting the car, boom works. Odd...
Sometimes requires press the OFF button then retrying start to make it work.
Side note: I just put subs in the car which might have something to do with it...
