FYI -


These symptoms can be a bad key as well. I had the diode on one of my original keys fail and the symptoms were identical.

For anyone reading this thread later as a diagnostic tool, try your other key and see if it will start. If it does, get the dealer to replace your failed key.

+2. It was a pain to do. Cost me only $180 for the starter though.
Any DIY to share?

After giving a good hit to the starter yesterday the car turn on so I'm sure the starter is the case here I hope.
