But it's the best advice I could give.

Pretty sure it's an electrical problem. Loose wire, bad wire or terminal end on the wire, corroded ground, starter solenoid, starter relay...

Question for those with vehicle knowledge
WestEndHokie39 • 11/18/24 12:29 PM ET
wasn't fully in Park
Virtual Hokie • 11/18/24 10:41 PM ET
Did that prevent the starter from turning over?**
MP4VT2004 • 11/18/24 10:56 PM ET
10-4. Dashboard would light but nothing from starter
Virtual Hokie • 11/23/24 07:13 PM ET
Perhaps if it has a neutral start switch**
Galenahokie • 11/19/24 08:45 AM ET
Need to replace the flux capacitor--those things go bad all the time!**
vthhhi • 11/18/24 04:20 PM ET
Bad transmission park position sensor?
chemhokie • 11/18/24 02:35 PM ET
Good call! I wondered about that as well.
MP4VT2004 • 11/18/24 03:09 PM ET
I have a puzzling car thing too, and I don't know the answer
EDGEMAN • 11/18/24 01:42 PM ET
Temperature**
Stork • 11/18/24 01:48 PM ET
I'm sure that had something to do with it, but we've had a temp swing...
EDGEMAN • 11/18/24 03:27 PM ET
It's all about the positioning of the hole. Temperature may have a little
UEMcGill • 11/18/24 04:37 PM ET
Could be a faulty starter relay. Not that expensive to replace. And they...
Spud • 11/18/24 01:36 PM ET
Yep, my first guess would be something starter related**
MAHokie69 • 11/18/24 04:09 PM ET
Whack it with a wrench**
Brown Water • 11/18/24 04:37 PM ET
We do have wrenches**
TomTurkey • 11/18/24 07:18 PM ET
I could guess at a few things, but best to have a mechanic look it over.
EDGEMAN • 11/18/24 01:31 PM ET
Exactly. The shop has called me and so far they have been able to start
WestEndHokie39 • 11/18/24 03:59 PM ET
Are you in Richmond? If so, would you mind sharing the name of the shop?
MP4VT2004 • 11/18/24 10:27 PM ET
This answer flies in the face of Lounge Help Guidelines.**

Gawdlemitey, Edge. It’s always best to suggest answers
PhotoHokieNC • 11/18/24 05:33 PM ET
Ugh, the dreaded phantom issue. I've had some similar episodes on...
MP4VT2004 • 11/18/24 01:31 PM ET
probably the fetzer valve. Throw some Pennzoil on it. No- Quaker State.**
BobG • 11/18/24 01:09 PM ET
There is a tremendous amount of gook on these windows**

The owners manual says synthetic…**
WestEndHokie39 • 11/18/24 01:14 PM ET
In the old day, that always used to be the trick. Push the car a few feet,
Stork • 11/18/24 12:49 PM ET
…probably just low on blinker fluid **
chumley • 11/18/24 12:41 PM ET
For a left or right turn…**
WestEndHokie39 • 11/18/24 12:56 PM ET
I bet they never checked the 710 cap.**
PhotoHokieNC • 11/18/24 12:43 PM ET
It’s a 2007…the 710 cap didn’t come out until 2009**
WestEndHokie39 • 11/18/24 12:58 PM ET
"It's a trick question!"**
TomTurkey • 11/18/24 02:22 PM ET
You’re not fooling me, how much do I owe you?**
