Thread: Ignition Issue? Turn Key = Nothing

Got a 07 GP GT and when I went to start it I got nothing, no click, no turn over, no nothing but all the accessory worked. Almost as if the battery was completely dead but again everything else worked. Tried it a couple times with the key and remote start with no luck so I had my wife get me the other set of keys. It worked the second try with those keys and worked fine until yesterday when it did it again. Took a couple try's to get it started. Once it turns over it fires right up. Any idea what would cause this intermittent problem? Ive had this car a whole 4 days lol

Is it an aftermarket remote start, and did you get new keys made for it?

Factory keys and latter on both keys worked. As for the remote, no idea

Remote start? Does it look like a factory GM remote with a button at the top above the lock and unlock?

I'll have to check, I'm assuming they'll say GM if factory?

The remote not the key, the keys could be from anybody and they would work if properly programmed to the car. but if you have an aftermarket alarm there may be a key hiding under the harness that is causing problems with coding keys. I assume you just bought the car and have no history on it.

Also the Drivers information center (DIC) will display "Starting Disabled due to Theft System" if it's a key program fault.

Ya just got it Friday.

Thanks, hopefully its just the starter solenoid not engaging the starter and I don't have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting it with my DMM. Maybe Ill clean the contacts on the relay for good measure. Its a real intermittent problem now but bound to fail hard at the worst time possible lol

On your car it's really easy to get to just jack it up (jackstand) enough to reach in there and it's right behind the front tube and if your as lucky as me everything is clean and easy access.

Right unless it's hydro locked, then you hear a click form the starter. lol

Just left the dealer. He said it sounds like the ignition switch sensor. The bad part is once you restart the car twice it clear the code so he didn't see it. He said if happens again and I get it started to bring it right in before it clears.

It's under a 50/50 warrenty but once it happened the day I bought it they'd cover it 100%
