Anyone have issues with the starter button?
My '06 has 116000 miles but is always garaged. Lately when I go to start it, every once in awhile I push the start button and nothing. I try again and so far, it starts right up. Probaly has happened 15 times over the past 4-5 months. I had the starter replaced a few times since Ive owned the car but there is no indication that its that and all connections look good and tight. The only thing I can think of is the starter button is wearing out or perhaps the clutch sensor which indicates the clutch is pushed in in order to start. Any thoughts?

I had a similar issue with my door handles on my 07 z
The inside was corroded all to Hell. A little sand cleaned up and had no problems since.
Just be careful trying to get the button out of the dash and apart. Very easy to break

I was refering to the connections on the starter. Are there others I should check as well?
