It will not start (from time to time)_ bad security module?
In about 5% of the time it will not start. When I turn the key, the starter would not engage, not a click, nothing.
After several attempts combined with the move of the shifter (maybe this movement didn't help actually) it will finally start like nothing happened. The battery is good. My first opinion is that the security is acting up disabeling the starter. Maybe is a coincidence but also when I use the remote the car would allways close but only sometimes open. I changed the battery on the remote but no change. My other idea is that I may have a bad contact on the shifter. I do not have a clear correlation between the remote malfunction and the car not starting but it is very possible. Did anybody experienced the same issue? What was the fix? |

If you have the OEM security module, this does have a starter interrupt function and so could be the cause. However intermittent problems are very difficult to trace.
Check that the ignition switch mounting bolts are not loose, as this has often been reported as a problem. Do a search and you will turn up evidence of several possible alternative and obscure faults.

I am by no means an electrical expert but what if you just unplug the security module and leave it unpluged for a while to see if that is the problem?

My suggestion is that you try to get someone with electrical knowledge to assist you.
